Bottle, forced upon me by a coworker because I’m a "beer guy." Pours a clean gold with bubbly white head. Notes of corn, hay, grass, honey. Really sweet with some okay hop flavor but the sweet maltiness is off putting. Not terrible. I suppose I’d drink a bunch of these if I went to the Bahamas...but I’m sure you could find some better rum.

Beergeek23322 (408) - Chesapeake, Virginia, USA - APR 29, 2013
February 2011. Bottle. Weak skunky, malty aromas. Straw yellow with a white head. Flavors are muted and diluted, but some hops were probably used. Drink ice cold.

DavidWoodruff (235) - Windsor, California, USA - APR 22, 2013
Appearance: Light gold with a white head. Aroma: Light grassiness with a little skunk. Flavor: Some light malt with just enough hop bitterness to keep it balanced. A slightly sweet finish. Palate: Light bodied with medium carbonation. Overall: Seems like a fair attempt at a Munich Helles. While it is much better than Red Stripe, it still is too watered down to be anything but mediocre.

Bottle. Golden beer with a whitish head. Light corn aroma. Light corn and light malt flavor. Medium bodied. Light corn and light malt linger.

blankboy (5136) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 26, 2013
Bottle [345ml]. Pours a clear pale yellow-gold with an average size lasting frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, corny and vegetal along with grain, very light grassy hops and honey -- not atrocious but not good. Watery, sweet flavour of corn, grain, light grassy hops, malt and a finish that is a bit bitter but also slightly harsh. Light bodied. Again, nowhere near the worst I’ve had but it’s not good.

All malt no hops. Funky skunk aroma. Malt liquor flavor. Only saving grace Is views during consumption

kramer (3873) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 12, 2013
Bottle. Pours a clear yellow gold body with a one finger fizzy white head that faded to a thin film. The aroma is about on par with the Kalik Light, though there seems to be a bit more malt and bit less of the wet paper awfulness. Still not an award winner, but it’s a step up. Tastes pretty well like what you’d expect from the average macro lager, lots of corn and zero hops. Light bodied, though a bit heavier than the Light with fizzy carbonation. Not something I’d drink under normal circumstances, but when in the Bahamas I guess ya gotta.

jbruner (1117) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - DEC 31, 2012
Pours a exactly like you would expect considering the bottle is clear. Typical Caribbean pale lager on the nose and taste, corn malts, sweeter with hints of citrus to make it taste better. Nothing special but decent to try.

Bottle. Thanks to adnielsen for sharing this small country tick. Pours a clear yellow color with light white head. Skunked out pilsener aroma. Not surprising considering the clear bottle. Not much in the flavor. Weak. Lame.
