Have you tried the Little Creatures Pale Ale, dalekboy? It's a very fruity beer.

My husband, Rob, doesn't drink alcohol at all, never has. (I like a couple of ales myself, but lagers taste like 2cent pieces in battery acid to me) Interestingly it's his family members who start to pressure him to drink. His Dad, his brother, brother in law. I get really frustrated at their continual offers.

I don't remember, ever, any of his/ours friends being pushy to the extent that dalekboy has suffered. Very odd.
