| 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. _________________ Beer Is Bread |

| 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 _________________ Happiness is like peeing yourself, everyone can see it but only you can feel its warmth! |

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