Among many other things, I have a six pack of Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat in the fridge- my favorite beer. Heart

A pub near me called The Fat Cat (it would be called that, I guess) sells a selection of Belgian fruit beers that are around eight per cent each, about $4 a pint and totally addictively gorgeous.
 
And they have a green-pigmented lager called Signs of Spring that looks like wash-up liquid but tastes fantastic.
 
Trouble is I'm broke so I sit indoors and drink WalMart/ASDA cider which is around $1 for 2 litres.
 
Two of the above three statements are trueWink

^The first must be false then. Most (maybe all) Belgian fruit beers have 5 to 6 per cent alcohol by volume.
 
Only Liefmans Goudenband (I wonder if this is a fruit beer, but it is, like fruit beers, a spontaneous fermenting beer) reaches 8%.

Corona Uhh!!Shocked I hate this kind of beer, taste like water with lemon...
I prefer a dark strong beer with triple fermention. No specific label in mind. But mostly the belgium type of beer.

Not a big fan. I prefer a pilsener for spicy food or a sunny pre-barbecue drink, but sure, it's ok for those situations.

It's not too bad....

though I find I have no beer loyalty.  In fact, if something tastes good one week, it doesn't taste as good the next.  I really have to keep changing it up, I can't drink the same beer for very long

....and it makes going to the store fun because I get to pick something different every time.

You know, with a few exceptions, that rule holds true to me also.  In fact, my favorite beer right now is Coors Light.  LOL

Wow, I've actually never tried a Coors if you can believe that.  I'll add it to the internal list.  Well maybe I have had one back in the young days and just don't remember.  Back then you just drank whatever the guys brought.

I actually really like it in the summer, but limes are mandatory - they make it so much better for me.

I do not mind it. As Padraic said, a nice summer beer, but if you are into this type of beer I'd take a Pacifico any day of the week. In Mexico (in the city I was staying earlier this year) Corona was pretty much just the standard run of the mill beer, nothing special.

I agree - for some crazy reason I often choose it in Spain but can't really enjoy it in England

Generally I'm sure you're right - I'm no expert - but the raspberry one and the peach one really are 7.5 abv.

Um, excuse me, but Newcastle is an ALE? 

Still voting for it though.

Technically Newki Broon (as we call it in the UK) is hard to define - it's like a cross between an ale and a sweet stout but it's also fizzy and has a totally unique taste.
 
Geordies (natives of Newcastle) call it "Journey Into Space" and if you drink more than about four of them you'll know what they mean.
 
I really dunno if it's exported, but there's another one called Newcastle Amber Ale - if you get a chance try it.
 
Not playing the big-headed Brit, but the classic way to drink NBA is to keep topping up a half pint glass after every slug - to the locals, using a pint glass is sacrilegeTongue

None of the ones in the poll, because for me, there's only one beer:
Acorn Brewery's Old Moor Porter!
http://www.acorn-brewery.co.uk/Old_Moor_Porter.asp

When I was in Wales, I tried just about every beer there was, but this one was in a completely different league than the others.

Ah but that's cos it's brewed in Yorkshire Wink(with apologies to Welsh colleagues - I do like the odd pint of Brains)
