       "Rodenback FruitAge is a blend of aged beer - 2 years aged in oak
        foeders - young beer and 9% red fruit. A Rodenback signature taste
        balanced with sweet-sourness and fruity notes. Pure refreshment."

       This one comes all the way from Belgium in a can that's modeled
       after a RedBull energy drink. I've never had anything like this
       before and I was excited to try it. The closest thing I can describe
       it to is a carbonated Ocean Spray cranberry juice cocktail. I can't
       pick up any alcohol flavor at all. There's a hint of the oak barrels
       that lingers after the initial burst of sweet and sour. Calling this
       a beer is a bit of a stretch. It's closer to something like a pink
       champagne that would be fun to break on New Year's Eve.
        
       - Would I buy it again? No
       - How much could I drink in one night? A couple of cans before
         giving up and switching to a real beer.
