Bacardi Breezer vs beer — which is better for casual drinking?

Bacardi Breezer and beer are broadly comparable in ABV but offer very different taste experiences. Beer has a bitter, malty character while Breezer is sweet and fruity. Both are around 4 to 5 percent ABV. The choice is purely personal preference. Breezer tends to appeal more to those who prefer sweet fruit flavours while beer drinkers prefer the complex bitter character of a good lager or ale.
