Diminutive bottle. Pale, golden body, crystal clear topped with a small, fizzy white head, no lace. Aroma of apple peel, corn, hay. Light bodied, heavily carbonated with foamy carbonation, dry finish. Mild flavor with apple, touch of hops, cereal, wet paper, watered down. Session only, but a bit too foamy even for that. Kind of gross after it sits. Must be ice cold; drink from bottle: Don’t waste a glass on this (except for rating purposes).

Bottle. I can’t believe, I haven’t rated this one sooner. Watery, not much flavor. Sands beer from the Bahamas is a better beer. But, I had it in Jamaica, and it added to the whole Jamican experience. Wouldn’t drink it here again but would love to drink it there.

12oz bottle drank at Sybergs in Maryland Heights. This is a nice bitter pale lager and one of the better examples of the style. My chief complaint about this beer is that too many of them give me a headache. It’s typical lager with tendancies towards an APA.

Clear burnt yellow color with no head. Aroma of some light malts and corn. Flavor is sweet, caramel malts and corn.

Pours a thin yellow color with tons of carbonation and no head. Tastes like your average macro lager, corn, skunk, and grain. Why is this stuff so expensive?

Looks and smells like the average macro. Yellow and grainy with a hint of aluminum. Has a sickly taste to it. Leaves a film in the mouth that you’ll have to drink something else to get rid of. Even when it’s drank ice cold it’s not very refreshing. Finishing the bottle is actually a chore. This is pretty bad, and possibly the worst imported beer there is.

16 oz can. Light grain, grass aroma. None of the skunk that your typical pale lager trash has. Smooth light corn grain taste that is uninspiring. It is light in taste and low abv, which was perfect for shooting guns on a very hot Halloween day.
