It could be a great way to up the ABV on imperial stouts, throw in a load of coors light clone powder, it'd up the ABV without altering the taste in any way.

I think it would be great on festivals and on holiday.. But i think its all the sweet drinks like a barcardi breezer.. But I would drink it on a festival. Here in holland heineken and amstel are big festival sponsors (i think amstel is part of heineken now).. So try and inmagine listening to some great live music nice sunshine and you can only get is a nice cold heineken from plastic with added water to make it cheaper and lower the alcohol... I would rather have a few bags and will get some mineral water on the festival to mix :)

I even think that heineken is the owner of amstel.

I'd totally grow a beard and long hair (again) and go around turning people's water into red wine!
