If synthesized flavorings can taste good and they are perceived as "normal" ingredients, then the beer will be well received.<br />However, I, for one, think nature does the best job of creating flavors.

Kudos for whipping out the Harold and Maude reference from the 'ole tool belt.<br /><br />I'm particularly curious about the backlash synthetic ingredient use causes in the craft beer community. My perception is that craft beer drinkers tend to be a sensitive group, quickly contemptuous of something deemed inferior.

I'd love to be able to quickly and easily share some of your posts with some of my less beer geeky friends.
