Red Stripe

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

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear gold color with a thin white head. The aroma was a little fruity. The flavor was sweet and had a fruity finish.

This is one of my favorite summertime beers. It has a distinct sweetness to it that sets it apart from other lagers. Refreshing and tasty on a hot day at home or when you are chillin’ in the caribbean.

I used to love this stuff. Now I taste it I see that I am actually learning something about beer. Thoroughly average but at least at the better end of average boring pale lagers. Usual appearance as you’d expect. Taste is pretty much as you’d expect. Light in everything, light in flavour. A childrens drink.

Attractive 330 ml bottle. Golden color, white head. Somewhat fruity aroma. Smooth, fairly sweet flavor, malty finish. Medium-light body, medium carbonation. Drinkable.

Bottle. Huge creamy off-white head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Clear pale yellow color. Aroma of mild grass and cardboard. Also sweet corn, caramel and floral notes. Light bodied with an average carbonation and light dry texture. Light bitter and sweet flavor. Light dry and bitter finish. Quite refreshing I thought but nothing spectacular at all.

Bottle. Not a bad beer. Poured with a medium head of foam, Pale yellow and thin in colour. Could drink more than one.

I think this beer is very similar to ther mass produced beers. There’s almost no head, the flavor is rather bland, and the aroma is very much lacking. I’ll never buy another one. Too many other good beers out there to be wasting my money on stuff like this.

i am pretty impressed with this beer. gave it a try at a bar i frequent, and had a few more. seems like a beer that is best once in a while. i wouldnt buy ti to keep at home. refreshing, though, probably best as a summer thirst quencher.
