I am trying to find a good, low bitterness, fruit-like beer I could order in any typical bar and can also find in stores. Thank you.

Most of the good fruit beers are made by smaller localized breweries. So you may not always find them on tap. I'm not a huge fruit beer fan, but I do like Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat, the fruit is Blackberry. Although after a few it starts to get a bit too sweet.

Right now, I'm enjoying a very refreshing Wailua. It's a limited release wheat ale with passion fruit from Kona Brewery. I'm not in Hawaii, but I'm lucky enough to with 50 miles of their East coast brewery in NH, so I get to have some really good brews...

If you can get Blue Moon, look for Rising Moon. It's a wheat ale with Keifer Limes..but too much lime. Just a bit to accent the hop flavor. Bitterness in all 3 beers I mentioned is fairly low, probably all under 12 IBUs..

I like pumpkin ales the best out of the fruit beers like Weyerbacher's Imperial Pumpkin Ale.I tried a Mango Pale ale recently that was pretty good.Other than the pumpkin ales,I can't drink more than one at a time usually because they're too sweet.

For fruit beers in my area, Sea Dog Blueberry is quite popular.

The two best fruit beers I've found recently are both pretty hard to find: Kona Brewing Wailua Wheat and Dark Horse Blueberry Stout

I love having Wailua Wheat 10 minutes away... I haven't bought anything else since I found that stuff a few weeks ago... Beer
