I am slightly bias to this beer because Barbados was where I spent my honeymoon. I dont think though that most other reviews are fair though. This beer is not that bad as a standalone. If you have eaten true Bajan food, then you will know this beer screams Barbados. The thin head and watery pale look are perfect for drinking on the Gold Coast. The water is what makes this beer distinctive. Barbados is different than any other island in the caribbean because it is a coral island and not a volcanic. The water used is first filtered through the coral. This gives the beer a mellowed "tropical" taste.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle. Light gold; rapid carbonation. Strong and pleasing skunk-hop aroma. Very refreshing and palate cleansing. Good bitter flavour with predominant hop, straw/grass and a mild sweet finish. Surprisingly good.

Dec 4, 2009 12 oz. bottle recieved in trade from Daknole- thanks!!! Served in shaker- poured a transparent thin yellow color, medium carbonation, one finger white head fizzed away a white ring as I sat down, but still tried it’s best to lace. Aroma of wheat, corn, and an ever so slight note of hops. Hits the mouth with a small body, malt appears to be a corn/wheat hybrid, a very light sweetness in the middle, finish is clean but retains just a tiny note of hardness from hops and, possibly, the hard water used. Good companion while playing cards online for a few minutes...

Nov 18, 2009 Bottle ( 355ml ). Woo - pale lager from the Carib - someone gave me this, I forget who. Pale bright clear gold, average fizzy quick-diminishing head. Aroma - whoa!! - skunk and grass, jesus that’s nasty. The taste is not too bad - honey, grass, no skunk, maybe a hint of PVC. Light body, decent carbonation, and it finishes quite quickly - the lingering impression is sweet fresh-cut hay, which could be worse - good with food?

Nov 2, 2009 What is this beer doing in Canada? Don’t they know that it is only good if consumed on the soft sands at the water’s edge in sunny Barbados? Standard pale golden with an average white head. Immediately after the pour I got a whiff of grassy hops, but this faded behind sweet grains. Palate is straightforward grainy, papery malts, but sweeter than I’d prefer. I look forward to trying it again someday, in its home country!

4.7% ABV
I tried this beer on September 5, 2009 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer pours a translucent darker gold colour with almost no head. The aroma is grainy malt and a little hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and medium carbonation. The flavour was very malty with a hint of hops, and an ill-tasting aftertaste.
