Many years ago, a rather boho pub near Northampton marketed a 'Summer Ale' which they were selling on draft. It was little known at the time, but can be bought from Tesco for less than £2 a bottle now.
Früli - a strawberry ale from Belgium.
Does anyone else have a little known fruity ale, beer, etc which they think others might like to discover? |

"In my drinking days I used to love banana bread beer. Nice dark ale with subtle banana and malt flavour was awesome."
Oh wow! I forgot about that stuff. I only ever found it once. At a pub next to a canal! Unfortunately, I don't remember where either the pub or the canal is! |

"Oh I like a früli! I like the Mongozo coconut beer, tastes a bit like handcream at times but it's grown on me "
Hmm...
I need to try this this hand-cream beer. Where do I find it?
PS. From reading this thread, it does seem like I'm a heavy drinker. I'm not, I just like trying new things.  |

used to be rather partial to the banana bread beer but not seen it in ages 
always try something new though and like to support the micro breweries 
Pot Belly beers from Kettering are good
