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.
