Red Stripe

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!

Stubby bottle... oh gawd! Almost watery clear pour with dishsoapy foam that falls in to a patchy cover. Yeasty and grainy like cheap bread, skunky oddly mineral and adjunct-sweetness of corn. Some harsh metal notes, and rising soapy notes with a raspy feel. Otherwise splendid.

33cl bottle from kihoskh in copenhagen. My first jamaican beer so countries++; clear yellow, huge white head. not much aroma. a little corn, a little dust. flavor is slightly citrussy, very sweet too, corn, typical macro pale lager, this one not bad as such, but not even in the best half of pale lagers i’ve had. too sweet, and sweetness is of the sugary kind.

Can. Pale golden colour, medium white head. Aroma is grassy with a hint of malts. Flavour a bit malty. Watery.

Pours very pale gold with a thin foamy head that has decent retention. Aroma is grass, fermenting hay, skunked hops, sweet grainy malt. Flavor is better than the aroma grass, toast, sweet grain, still rather skunky and kinda funky in a bad way a little salty too. I wouldn’t recomend it at it’s "premium import" price.

"No mon." I think the fact that it comes in an old medicine bottle doesn’t sit well with me either.
