Can. Pours quite intense pink, with a matching foam colour. Head does not persist for long. Nose has cherries, red currant tartness and some sugary cookies. Taste is sweet with some cherries and light tart kick to it. Extremely drinkable, good carbonation complementing it. Very light bitterness in the finish. Would be interesting to try this in a blind tasting. As it is now, I agree with Chuwy that this one has great cost performance, tastes probably better than most fake beers I have had. Well, it doesn't really taste that mush like beer at all, maybe that's why. Sweet and not cloying, crushable, well, its actually made for crushing I believe.

500 ml can on Chuwy's recommendation. Pours a reasonably pretty bright crimson with low pink head. Nose is weird minerals, cherry extract, and a bit of vanilla. Flavor is somewhat fake cherry juice-drink, a bit of lactic/vanilla flavor, light tartness like a sour candy drop. Finish is a bit rough and metallic. Quite fake and not even a bit beer-like. Not horrible, but Chuwy is way off on this one. It's crackbooze.
