Red Stripe

I tried this at a birthday party with a dismal beer selection. Since birthdays repeat, I tried it again a year later. Red Stripe has a faint spice background which makes it more interesting than most American lagers.

Tasted 08.10.’08 Bottle 33 cl., bought @ Brussels 10th Beerweekend. Clear yellow color with a medium white head. Aroma malts with a bit citrus on background. Thin body. Taste sweet, malts (grainy) with a fruity touch.

Appearance: Light golden. Little bit of white head. Shortlived. Aroma: Quite hoppy. Some fruit. Taste: Again, quite hoppy. Crisp. Bit of malt. Easy-drinking but forgettable. Info: 330ml bottle, 9/10-2008

Bottle from my honeymoon in St Thomas. Pours nice light golden color with small white head that leaves only a small trace. Faint fruit and hop aroma, not much else. Flavor has a mild fruit accent, very light hop and malt characteristics. Enjoyable here on the beach under the hot sun, but I certainly won’t seek it out back home.

Pale in color. Watery in flavor. Aroma is nearly non-existent. The only aroma I experienced ever with this beer is a slight skunk. Pours thin, no head, no lacing from the standard Red Stripe bottle. Taste has some mild skunk and little else. About the best use for this beer is a lawnmower beer. There isn’t much to expect.

Pours cloudy. Smells like any other cheap beer. Upon my first taste, I realized that the Jamaicans had carbonated and bottled bong water.

Pale hey coloured. Mild slightly hoppy nose. Pale head. Slightly sweet mild taste. Waterly and thin. Mild hoppiness. A 0,33L bottle from local shop.

Golden color with a medium white head that last s and leaves some lacing. Mostly citrus aroma with a slightly skunky undertone. Banana flavor with a slight skunkiness again. Crisp finish with a banana twist to it.
