Negative, Schneider Weisse, Hacker Pschorr or Paulaner should never be polluted with ~ fruit. These beers should be enjoyed as a stand alone to enjoy the banana overtones from the top fermemting yeast.
We Americans tend to bastardize a lot of beer styles. Witness the American wheat beers, which I consider to be poor, at best. They need fruit to offset the graininess.
It is a tradition with Berliner Weisse to add fruit juice to the beer, raspberry or lemon.
I think Pacifico and XX are both better without fruit.

I don't know about that one Ed, but I tried a Shiner Bock from down your way when out shopping yesterday. It was tasty considering it was only %4.4 ABV, which is very weak for a bock. http://www.shiner.com/main.php

I actually had my first Yuengling (sp) the other day. Not bad.
I've never liked dark, heavy beers for some reason.

Which one did you try?  I believe they have about 7 or so.  From light to lager to dark.

I've been to Mexico MANY times and have never tried Pacifico either.
Never heard of it.
 
When I was in Juarez in the 80's (during my Reign of Terror), I'd WOW the local patrons at the cantina with my grasp of the Spanish language and told the bartender "Uno mas cervesa, por favor", Bandito they ALWAYS, ALWAYS, just gave me a can of Tecate with a sliced lime and a salt shaker.
Hell, I thought "cervesa" was slang for Tecate, because everbody at the bar was drinking Tecate. 
 
Sorry for the high jack, Chris. Just had to say that based on my experience. "Hard data", as Root would say. Wink
 
Tecate is all I ever have in Mexico (while in Mexico, do as the Mexicans do).  We are always so remote we really don't have a choice as we rely on them to supply food and beverage.  I am drinking Tecate tonight thinking of my friends in Mexico as I should be their now.  My friend is at our mule deer camp and has been all week, I just could not leave before Christmas and come back after Christmas.  I'm their in spirit though, drinking this Tecate (out of can) brings back lots of fond memories.
