I'm going to have to say I fully agree with Greg. This beer is not too sweet... it's the fruit flavour's artificial-like smell and taste that causes it to lose points. Tried this last night.

There are some I've tried that I quite liked. But it's not the sweetness that's my main complaint about this beer, it's that the flavour profile is too candyish. I prefer fruit beers that have flavours that seem more natural. purplelips - I agree that in some contexts, sweeter fruit beers work nicely. There are some I've tried that I quite liked.

Drunk alongside a fruit-based dessert (and perhaps in smaller quantities than a full pint) they can be a tasty, refreshing & unusual treat and not just an alco-pop replacement!
