Red Stripe

Brewed by Desnoes and Geddes (Diageo PLC)
Style: Pale Lager
Kingston, Jamaica

The best beer for drinking to either get pissed on or to throw up on. Vulgar taste - worse than Stella Artois in my opinion - annoyingly this is getting more and more popular.

crisp refreshing. not bad on a hot summer day or at a bbq. pretty straightforward no surprises

From a 24oz bottle. In most ways your typical lager, but it does have at least a little character. A far superior choice than most American macros (Bud, Miller etc).

Typical. Long gone are the days when I could drink a beer of this caliber and still accept myself as a decent human being. Slightly darker character than American Pilsners but as the thing warmed up it got clammy, sour, and stale tasting. Oh well.

Not a very good beer to may taste. Maybe I’ll try it again someday, but from what I remember even a little bottle was difficult to finish. not as bad as some, far from good.

Had this one many, many times over the years. One of the first bears I use to buy when I first started drinking that didn’t taste like total piss...

Overall Impression: One of those beers where the memories override the taste, still a solid beer, but the rating (especially the overall section) is for the memories more then the taste...

Bottle. Could be a lot worse. I drank it out of the bottle because it would have looked like to much of a beer snob move to pour it into a glass in this given instance. From pictures though, it looks like a pale lager. Aroma of corn and pale malt. Flavor is the same, not half bad to be honest. Palate is smooth if a little watery. Very drinkable.

The best thing about Red Stripe is that commercial they had back in the day. It’s beer, yay beer!
