Comment on What's the Best Non-Alcoholic Alternative to an Ice Cold Beer at the End of the Day?

It might be worth a try to get into tea!

(Loose leaf tea, not tea bags, the quality is usually better and you get a greater selection and much more diversity.)

There are so many different flavours and types, find out which ones you like.

If it helps, I actually like fruity beer, something sweet but with still some bitterness and that complex flavor I can’t describe that most good beers have.

Talk to the tea seller, they should be able to help you find something. It might also be a good idea to start with a small quantity of different tea types, just to see which suits you best (but keep in mind that there might still be a lot of variety for each type): black/white/green/fruit/herbal/…

Personally on a hot day, I like cold brewed black tea with some fruity additions (orange/peach/bergamot/roses or whatever new thing I find that I haven’t tried yet) I don’t add sugar (sometimes a bit of honey, but that doesn’t work well when cold brewing) because that way I smell the light bitterness of the black tea better, which I like. It sounds like that is also your thing.

Experiment with cold brewing, or just regular brewing then icing. And in winter you might drink it hot.

Don’t stop when you don’t like your first one, another one, or try to prepare it differently.
