Plus, fruit flavors are commonplace in beer. Rare is the beer that doesn't have some fruitiness to it. Shit, even Budweiser tastes like green apples in large part. You don't want one-note artificial fruit sweetness, such as the cloying orange flavor in Blue Moon or Shock Top. But naturally-occurring fruit flavors from the malt sugars, or the hop lupulin, or actual fruit such as in lambic beer, is part of why beer is such a great beverage.

No doubt as a man of culture you understand tastes are varied and different, not bad. I would rather be run over than have a beer that is sweet, meaning like sugar sweet, or fruity as in has rasberries or some other garbage added to it.
We all can ID different flavors in beer just as we can in wine. You drink what makes you happy.
Bud tastes like crap to me, always has, always will. Green apples to you, thats fine. I taste old rotted hay and sawdust.
I enjoyed some lambic beers in France a few weeks ago. I enjoyed some. Others not so much but enjoyed the experience.
Im going to have a Boulevard Pilsner and see what I can pick up.
