Commercial Description:
Red Stripe Light is D&G's alternative to the original. It has a smoother taste, and besides having a lower alcohol content, it is also 'less' of a beer as it comes in 10.5 oz. bottles.

Tasted just like regular Red Stripe to me (which is a good thing). Maybe it was because I had them both on tap, I don't know. Maybe it was just because I was in Jamaica and having a great time. Good stuff.

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 <u>perfect</u> on its home turf. <br /><br /><font size=-4>Single 275ml bottle from a vendor in the parking lot at <a href=http://www.dunnsriverja.com/about us link.htm><u>Dunns River Falls</u></a>, Ocho Rios, Jamaica<font size=-1><br />

I enjoyed this beer a good deal more than regular Red Stripe on my last trip to Jam. It seems to stay cold better (Or perhaps it is because there is less of it.) Unlike the regular this tastes less sweet, and was never skunky. For unknown reasons it was usually .50 - $1.00 US more a bottle than the other stuff.

A good light beer. Slightly different in many aspects of most light beers. I’ve only had it while in Jamaica and haven’t seen it at all locally. Would like to drink it again.

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.
