Salopian Oracle, or Darwin's Origin would both work - the latter is drier & less citrussy than Oracle.
(Entirely coincidentally, I have a bottle of Darwin's Origin in the fridge right now).

Darwin's Origin (4.3% abv)
Speaking of, and so forth. Not as intensely bitter as I remember (I think I may have confused it with Dickensian Brewery's "David Hopperfield") but this is a lovely pint. Peach and a hint of deeper toffeeish flavour, with a delightful hoppy bitterness underpinning it all, and lingering into the aftertaste.
Salopian make a fine beer indeed, and this is just another of theirs to confirm as a favourite.
Mrs M says "Veeeeery nice beer that one. I like that beer."

I'm not a scab!
I've had a fabulous variety today. Which explains why I've just woken up from a post-prandial nap. Well, that and a giddy descent into dribbling senility.
Amongst others, the porter was a bit too much choccy woccy for me but the Schneider Weisse was a delicious surprise. I'm normally not a big fan of wheat beer and I bought it on the strength of DP's recommendation. I'm not sure what the difference between the Unser Aventinus and the Aventinus Barrique though.
The goose was smokily superb too!

Marble are a frequent guest in my favourite Manchester pub - their IPA is a good 'un (Lagonda, I think) and they do a ginger beer (Ginger Marble) that I remember being very nice.
The range seems to have expanded considerably since I last looked seriously at it; http://www.marblebeers.com/our-beers/ and a trip to the brewery tap is probably overdue

The Aventinus is great. There's also an eisbock'd version.
The barrique version is red-wine barrel-aged version, based on a mixture of regular and eisbock Aventinus (I think!).
I'm off to Berlin at the end of the week. Time for...

That's definitely washing-up liquid on the left.

Doesn't look very appetizing does it? I've heard they get a bit arsey though if you ask them to hold the cordial.

I bought some Berliner Kindl Weisse a while ago in the spirit of experimentation. It's surprisingly bland for a supposedly sour beer. I didn't try it with cordial though - I expect it would make it very sickly. Germans do seem to like that kind of thing, don't they.

Is it for kids, it looks like it what with the graphic an all?

It's something daft like 2.5% abv even before you dilute it with cordial, so...

I think a lot of the odder styles died out a bit (a mixture of rheinheitsgebot absolutism and neglect in the old east). It's only with new interest in sour beers that they've been revived, but I suspect they're a bit toned down compared to the original sourer versions.
Your last bit reminds me of the Coke-weizen blend I had last summer - shudder.
