Red Stripe

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

A lager with a fairly distinct taste. Pours thin, no head. Nothing over powering here, goes down smooth.

I admit to liking the bottle shape; it is a great marketing move, after all, and feels good in the hand. Bottle. Corn syrup nose with a bit of pale malt. Extremely pale golden pour with a thick creamy beige head. Taste is corny and overly sweet, with a musty, near-cardboardy finish and still-cloying aftertaste. Watery body has just the faintest hint of malt. For children.

Just doesn’t do it for me. Was really corny and had an almost sulfurs taste in my opinion. Definitely not what I was expecting from this import.

A fantastically refreshing lager, with no real strong aroma, won’t knock your rate beer taste bud’s socks off, but is a great session beer. No off flavors, no skunkiness, no cardboard or corn flavors.

Blond color, little no no head, disturbingly simple and disappointing, well it’s better than a Bud...

Clear pale colour, easy drinking lager. Not bad, not great. I’d have another.

Pale lager que segue o padrão suave comercial, sem impressionar. Leve aroma e sabor de malte. Final suave e levemente amargo.

Not bad, not good, the bottle reminds me an old days soda, a typical lager beer.
