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.

This is bad! The taste is awful, no body at all very thin head, taste of watered down beer. Nothing to this beer at all. I had this while in Toronto and what a mistake.

33cl bottle poured into a lager glass. Sparkling gold with minimal white head. Smells like skunk and feet. Flavor is hops and socks. Medium carbonation. Finish is like morning breath. This is an awful beer.

Pale gold body and white head. Malty and hops aroma. Litlle mal flavor. Watery and little bitter. A poor beer.

Bottle - pours a pale golden. Weak malty flavour, citrus hop. Drinkable, but forgettable.

Drank on a hot day at the end of summer. I had a Jamaican-themed beer dinner by the pool and paired this with grilled plantains and coconut jasmine rice. Not bad... Out of the oil can bottle and into a tall glass it pours a thin, pale straw with much carbonation and a quite decent frothy white head and slight lacing. Not much aroma, sweet corn, rice, and maybe a slight herbal (jasmine) hint. The taste is medium-dry, but has a sweet finish with just a hint of spice from whatever inkling of hops may exist. Cornmeal and sticky rice flavors follow. The mouthfeel is rather thin, but not watery and highly carbonated all leading to a sweet, refreshing finish. Nothing special, but I, like many, have fond high school memories of this beer and the relaxing, fun Jamaican spirit it imparts.
