A Fruity taste eh ? Thank Ewe for the explanation Mr Bikerman. Do ewe think, that a real ale would be a gentle introduction into the ale/lager/beer fraternity for a tea-totaller like me ? The fact that it may be 'fruity' is somewhat appealing !

Well, it's a very serious business drinking real ale. You first need to get yourself a nice cardigan and, preferably a duffel coat. Then you need to grow a beard and moustache. Finally you need to learn the specific gravity of a couple of hundred ales :-)

Seriously - you might like to try some of the Christmas ales that normally appear at this time of the year - normally very alcoholic though...

Thanks Bikerman....I may indulge in some Chrimbo festive Juice but if it's Christmassy it probably has stuff like Cinnamon, cloves and cardamon  and Chrimbo flavours  ! ..yuk !

If you drink too many you feel like your brain has been removed...

Occasionally embalmers would break the bone behind the nose,
and break the brain into small pieces in order that it could be pulled out through the nasal passage.

No, nothing of the sort.  You won't find any of that in a traditional Christmas ale.
A couple to look out for;
Santa's Nuts (Fox Brewery) - nutty and malty, luvverly.
Rudolph's Revenge (Cropton Brewery) - a proper bitter ale, nice hoppy finish.
