I brewed the AHS Raspberry Wheat last weekend, and tried adding 12oz of pureed raspberries with the flavor hops. Unfortunately this time around neither the flavor nor aroma of the raspberries carried through as strongly as the pears did.

Sweet. I'm gonna brew it. So basically it’s the AHS clone of Devil’s Brew with a pint of Pear Juice added with the flavor hops. Sweet. I’m gonna brew it.

The pear flavor was much more subtle than I would have guessed given the aroma of the fermenting wort and the final product itself. Judging from all of my friend's reactions, I'd have to say it's been the most well liked brew so far. The haziness that resulted from boiling the pear sauce was pretty minimal in the end, so if you can't find pear juice, I wouldn't worry about going the puree/boiling route. If you're interested in the recipe (it was a honey ale), I'd be happy to pass it along to you. It turned out great!

I used 2 jars of cherries (i mashed them)...came out pretty tasty. anyway, i was talking about my little project with a fellow beer guru at work when he thought up a pear pale ale. i was considering trying it and found this on a google search...so how is it? i just purchased a home brew kit and made a cherry wheat for my first batch.
