shocking to see unanimous agreement by two separate users on such a controversial statement. There is a time and place for (almost) everything, lemon adjunct beverages included, but I would assert beer complements a far greater variety of meals than would a lemon adjunct beverage. My wife is a winemaker who makes 100 point wine and would agree wholeheartedly, as would everyone we know. Doesn’t mean one is better than the other, but they all have their own place, and all deserve to be judged against their own class. FWIW I’ve never tasted a flavored malt beverage which is on par with a decent cocktail or mixed-drink, and the best cocktails outclass them in every way. I’ll take a corpse reviver (lemon) or last word (lime) over a hard anything any day.
