Canton Pineapple Beer

I was curious to try Canton Pineapple Beer that is a non-alcoholic to see if it was the same as what they have in the Philippines called Cali.

The color of it you won't know there is no alcohol in it looks exactly if you we're to drink beer. No one will know you're not drinking any alcohol if you had this with you with your friends who knew nothing of it.

Yes, it does taste like pineapple.

This product is popular in Guangzhou, China.

I had purchase it at Hongkong House Online Shop in Shopee Philippines. It is sold for PHP 35.00 ($0.70) a can.

Note:

I am not selling Canton Pineapple Beer.
