First brewed in 1938.
It is a light alcohol drink with not too strong bitterness but rather soft taste; therefore, it's easy to drink it up.

Bottle. Small, white head (not a bad size for a pale lager) that fades quickly, with fair lacing. Color is light yellow, with a very clear body and no particles. Aroma is what you would expect, with maybe some fruit present? Thin texture and a light body, with a fair amount of carbonation and a very short-lasting finish and flavor. Crisp and refreshing, one of the better beers of its class and great for summer.

Had this on tap and in the bottle, very pale gold with some brown color, has a large white ’carbo’ head and the bubbles keep coming, little malt aroma and taste with very little hop bitterness on the palate, lots of carbonation on the tongue, with sort of a dry crisp finish (I think from the carbonation), I did not get any off aromas or flavors, I was expecting more for what was paid for this beer, I guess you pay for the beer being from Jaimaca? I can see why this beer is made light, they need a thirst quencher and something that an be gulped down all day long in the Carribean climate, For a comparison price wise Pilsner Urqell is cheaper and a much better beer, the bottles do remind me of when my dad used to drink the Stroh’s stubby bottles back in the 60’s and 70’s, anyway do not expect much whether you get this in bottles or on tap.

Pours a nice, medium bodied head, light in color. Aroma of grains, particularly hops. Flavor is semi-bitter, with a smooth, clean finish, leaving a somewhat of a bitter afterbite. Soft carbonation makes for an easy drink. Overall, a decent brew with an affordable pricetag.
