After working the issue of how flavored beers are classified for a few years now, I find, unfortunately, that most of what I read about the issue is incorrect.  Journalists making obvious mistakes, such as how these products are manufactured.  Worse yet, they seem to swallow whatever the anti-alcohol advocates feed them, and do not do their own research.  Imagine my surprise when I read the following article that asks the questions that deserve to be, but as of yet, have not been asked by the media establishment.  I was even more surprised to learn that it was a college paper, the University of California, San Diego.  I applaud the author for his research into this subject and his unbiased approach.  I can only hope that he takes it with him where ever he lands after college.
