This one has gimmick written all over it. An 8.4 oz aluminum can that resembles an energy drink, an IPODesque logo blowing a kiss into the wind and Rosé The Fruity Pink splashed across the naked figure. So for 99c and a preconceived notion of a wine cooler awaiting me I wasn't exactly surprised or disappointed with what followed. Sure, it tasted like a wine cooler but don't all belgians have that feel to an extent? Maybe not to this degree but it didn't taste awful. The Raspberry flavoring was more akin to a Clearly Canadian Sparkling Water but was tasty enough. Is it beer? By definition, yes. But not by feel. I'd drink it again at your house from your fridge on your tab.
