I am also no fan of beer, although i've liked a
few hefeweizen, no doubt partly because they are
lower in hops than most typical beers. I second
Euriol's recommendation, i really do like fruit
lambics, which are native to Belgium. The
bitterness of hops is balanced by the sweetness
of the fruit, yet it isn't a sweet drink. I've
had imported Kriek (sour (morello) cherry),
raspberry (framboise), peach (pêche), and
blackcurrant (cassis). And I've heard the ones
available in Belgium are vastly superior to the
imports. So be sure to let us know how they
compare.
