Red Stripe

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

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

7/24/08 From the bottle. Aroma is corny, sour and almost acidic. Appearance is clear yellow with a medium maintained white head. Flavor is just as sour, with almost no sweetness and medium noble bittering. Mouthfeel is low bodied with a medium carb texture. Overall, funky, this doesn’t go down easy.

[on tap at the Movie Bar, Milton Keynes] A sweetish lager with some dusty hop bitterness. Easy to drink but unmemorable.

well. less than average. Tastes like an average low alc. beer - but it is not. A hollow drop with no body or any anything note worthy to mention.

Gotta love the Stripe you can get typical lagers like this cheaper but once in awhile you gotta have it ..... Appearance is typical pale gold and it has a clean smooth taste great classic label and bottle pay the extra money a six will have you feeling good :) yah mahn

Points for a cool bottle, pale golden color with a puffy foamy white head. Nose is corny, a little hops and metallic. More of the same for the taste, corn,simple clean finishing hops, has a slight buttery character that makes it a little unique among lagers. I remember this being better.

For some reason this beer has a meaty taste and almost tastes like thick blood. Very raw and tender and quite frankly too strong and rough around the edges. Yeah tastes of bloody and metal.. hmmm not sure why i drank this 3 cans in 1 go! probably has chemicals too.

Bottle from Tesco, it was on the grocery shelves rather than in the beer section, alongside other Jamacian delicacies such as jerk seasoning, coconut milk and some sort of dried fish! Anyway, it’s up to you whether you look for it. It’s thin, lacks aroma and flavour, another mass marketed, supremely bland lager.
