3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAY 10, 2006 Appeared clear and light with a carbonated fizz forming a quick white head in the bottle upon opening (no pour... swigged from bottle). Delicate aromas are florals and grains while the flavor finds a pleasant sweetness resting on pale malt haunches. Terribly refreshing on a day with 100% humidity, this is a beer which is perfect on its home turf.

pretty tough to find anything to work with on this one. Yeah you can drink one on the beach, but is it good beer? No.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Refreshing like water, Slightly skunky aroma and thin body. Nice to drink in a warm weather country I guess.

Just like Red Stripe, but lighter. I had both on tap at Couples Negril, Jamaica. Maybe its because I was already pretty deep in the rum, or just having a kick ass time altogether. They are both pretty good.

Bottle at Knutsford Court Hotel, Kingston, JA. Not too bad for a light Lager I didn’t think. Refreshingness is what I look for when sampling such beers in hotter climates than the UK (so most of the World then), and this was swiggable enough. Soft, slightly sweaty flavour, but passable.

Agree with other raters. Nothing there. No malt, no hops (no woman, no cry). Sorry.

Very pale yellow and lighter than most other Carribean beers. Weak flavor much like American macros, which makes this familiar and agreeable for most. Quite similar to Red Stripe except lacking fullness and body.

Well I had this down in Jamaica and there is nothing here. Just a flavored water for the most part and would take about 30 beers to get drunk off of.

There is absolutely nothing to this stuff. Watery and tasteless, very low in alcohol. I don't know who would buy this.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
On tap in Jamaica. I'm glad it was free on the resort because I would not have been happy if I actually had to pay for this. Regular Red Stripe is better, but not by too much.
