    Might as well just stick with NG fruits. Super easy to get and not expensive. Have you tried the Apple Ale or Cran Bic yet?

    Loved both, even my wife absolutely loved them. If they were easily available I'd always have one or both in stock.

    Bruery has quite a few with fruit and like others have noted, these can be more of an acquired taste.

    Doubtful. About the closest things I can think of is Cascade or Almanac.

    Magic Hat #9 is the only one I actually enjoy. Otherwise, fruit beers suck.

    If I had unlimited access to NG fruit beers, I'd be happy just drinking those every day.

    Dark Horse does a pretty good job with their Raspberry Wheat, somewhat different than the NG fruit styles but good nonetheless.

    Besides fruit beers, many Flanders Reds have tart cherry notes. Some sours do too. Based on ratings and recommendations, I wish I've tried New Glarus' selection.

    Aprihop has a good Apricot taste, comes out in the Spring. People will laugh at this but Sweetwater Blue is a great Summer beer to drink camping or fishing or whatever. Honestly that beer tastes like straight up fruity pebbles in the best way-- as much of a beer snob as I am now I still buy a six pack of it every few months.
