Bottle. This beer is awful. Yellow color. Some head that goes away quickly. Not much aroma. Tastes like hay.

Appearance: very clear with faint straw and hay colors. White head vanishes almost immediately; fizzy. Swirls with nothing.
Nose: wonderbread crust. Waxy lemon peel. Dry grain husks and white rice.
Palate: grainy and bready in the middle; white wonderbread with a touch of sweetness. Cold corn kernels. Watery finish. Hard lemon in the back top of wallow.
Final Thoughts: not that the regular Red Stripe is all that great, but the light was light alright. I don’t stop at Go and head straight to Jail.

Smoother taste they say? I wanted to say something witty about this "beer" like watered down water etc. but its worse. Clear gold pour with white head. Musty scent. OLD cereal and metal taste, BAD

11.2 oz stubby bottle: Pours clear, dark gold, with a lively white head. Virtually no aroma...a little grass and grain. Taste is watery, grain. Pretty much bereft of all things beer. Incredibly lacking.

Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a pale clear yellow with minimal head. Aroma of corn and grains. Taste is about the same. I actually wasn’t paying attention when picking up a 6pk of Red Stripe for my lady and got this instead. She thought I was trying to tell her something and got mad...go figure. Overall, it’s like most other crappy light beers. Nothing to write home about.

Bottle. Piss yellow pour with a white head. Aroma and taste of grainy funk. Just gross.

Bottle
Imagine a baby. Imagine that baby with saliva. Imagine that saliva with a measureable ABV. Now imagine a really bad beer. Voila! You’ve had this beer.

Just another pale macro lager. This one is for the dieters. No head, no lace and a pitiful watery flavour. If you go to Jamaica, there surely must be a rum drink you can afford.

translucent straw with no head; sticky light body with high carbonation.

aroma: pale malt sweetness, oily corn, funky high gravity esters.

taste: funky fruit flavors, oily adjunct sweetness, hints of pale malt and leafy hop bitterness.

This tastes like melted candy canes. Not a good beer, not worth importing.
