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.

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.

Bottle at Margaritaville in the Montego Bay airport: Pale golden with a fizzy white ring for head. Mild sweet pale malt aroma. Fizzy and thin. Papery flavor upfront with leads to a touch of doughy sweetness and almost no bitterness. Lacks character, I’ve had worse.

Draft on honeymoon in Jamaica: Not a fan of light beers but this one was easy to drink. Not to shabby.....for a light beer.

Only in Jamaica can you get this to my knowledge. And it should stay there. This lighter version of Red Stripe is watery and tasteless... Bud Ice anyone?

Surprisingly enjoyed this over plain Red Stripe, though it may have been that Jamaican heat. Goes down very smooth, though that doesn’t mean taste isn’t there. Fairly watery, but it was perfect for on the beach. Definitely surpasses Corona as a beach beer.

this is freakin close to water! no real aroma, sometimes skunky (that’s what happens with clear bottles)
