I'll go back to the original question....
The answer...YES, IT IS SIMILAR ENOUGH TO BE USED IN HIS BEER...It's made by the same company, In fact it has been used in beer, and is sold in SOME beer kits...I would use it if I were making a fruity beer with no hesitation, IF the cost of the cans from the grocery store were cheaper than the large can from the lhbs....
The cans didn't magically appear at the LHBS as an overpriced brewing ingredient (same with coriander, or grains of paradise) someone or several someones saw it in a grocery store and decided to use it, they spread the word in the brewing community....others followed and then LHBS's started to carry it...
Whether anyone else chooses to or not, I don't care, I answered the question, cited examples to prove it, and at least one other member backed me up.
