Beer with Syrup - Do you like?

Haven't heard of beer + syrup. The closest experience I've had is probably a shandy (lager + lemonade,) popular in Europe. An interesting combination, not one I'd drink very often. Another version is the "turbo shandy," which is beer + citrus-flavored alcohol drinks like Mike's Hard Lemonade or Smirnoff Ice.

Can't bring myself to do either of those.

Linenkugel's summer seasonal beer is a shandy. I had some last summer

Doesn't Warsteiner make fruit-flavored beers? It's Germany's Keystone, so I thought that was just another take on teenage European party swill - I had no idea this was a popular concept across the pond.

Seeing fruit-flavored import beer produced almost as much culture shock as when I walked into London pubs to see the bartenders handing $5 bottle after $5 bottle of Budweiser up and over the dozens of neglected taps ready to serve $5 pints of local ales.

The Budweiser tastes much different than it does here, and is not bad actually in UK compared to here.
