Can anyone recommend a good fruit beer ?

Answer 1

Caledonian Top Banana is not bad. I also like Peche Lambics (made with peaches).

Answer 2

If you want some good domestic fruit beers, look for these brands:
-Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
-Pyramid Apricot-weizen
-Kona Wailua Wheat brewed with Passionfruit
-Bell's Oberon Summer beer (brewed with coriander spice)

For imported fruit beers:
-find either Lindeman's or St. Louis Lambics. I believe they both make a raspberry, (framboise) cherry, (kriek) and peach. (peche)
-Also, look for Wells Banana Bread beer.

Answer 3

try kriek and framboise, belgian lambic fruit beers, from several different brewers. these are the two traditional and original fruit beers. the fruit was added to stimulate secondary fermentation and strengthen the brew. good info on how the beers are made is found on http://www.belgianbeers.info

Answer 4

My all time favorite is Apricot Weizen by Pyramid. It is very good! Give it a try! http://www.pyramidbrew.com/beer/beerguide/apricot_weizen.php

It even won an award for best fruit beer, might be just what you are looking for

Visit local brewpubs. They generally have fruit beers in the summer time.

Answer 6

the whole line of lindemann's fruit lambics are delicious. i've had the framboise (raspberry) and the kriek (cherry) but there's also pomme (apple), cassis (grape), peche (peach).

in a word, delicious. you don't even think you're drinking beer at all really (it's really kind of closer to wine in that respect).

here's more info on the brand:

here's a online merchant who sells it:
http://www.beerliquors.com/buy/beer/lindemans.htm

(it's gaining in popularity and i've seen it being sold in more and more places, if you have a big liquor store in your area, they'll probably have it)

and here's more info on lambics in general:

hope this helped,

cheers!

Answer 7

Go to your local home brew shop and ask about a product called Oztops. Its a yeast you add to shelf fruit juice and it ferments in the bottle, quick easy cheap and you can play around with different flavours and recipes in small quantities.
