I am a fan of serving a slice of orange with a good unfiltered wheat beer. Give it a try and I am sure you will be happy with the flavor that a slice of orange can provide.

It seemed to have been picked up in Munich in the '90s, however, just as the idea of a brewpub was, from Americans. No self-respecting Bayer would ever put a slice of lemon in his Franziskaner or Erdinger. I lived in Munich before then, and never saw anyone at any time in any restaurant, bar or beer garden ever put a slice of anything in a glass of Weizen. Os is a Schanderl, sag i! As for the Prussians, well, they've had to put those syrops in the Berliner Weisse for years, so I can't speak for that gimmick.
