Fruit beers have a pleasant sweet-sour, fresh taste, in which the fruit or fruit extract used is clearly recognizable. The bitter hop flavor or sour taste is less pronounced than in other beers.
In traditional beers, fruit is added at the end of the brewing process, just before fermentation, where the sugars from the fruits are fully fermented. Stone fruits, such as cherries and peaches, are used for this, but apples, bananas and strawberries can also be added. The fruits make a subtle, fruity, non-sweet contribution to the flavor.
In modern breweries, often only juice is added to the beer: fruit juices, fruit coulis or fruit extracts. Often these beers are sweetened as well.
Most fruit beers have an alcohol content of between 2.5 and 5.5% alcohol by volume.
