It is a light alcohol drink with not too strong bitterness but rather soft taste; therefore, it's easy to drink it up.

UPDATED: FEB 10, 2012 Ok I had wanted to try this for a long time, well now I wish I had not. Not much taste.

Chudwick (345) - Taylor Mill (KY), FRANCE - JAN 14, 2012
24oz bottle - pours pale yellow with white head and no lacing. Nose is corn. Aroma is a little hoppy and lightly malty. taste is minimal. Light body and thin texture. Much better with out the lime. a seemingly flat lager with light maltiness.

On tap at Carter’s Bar. Pours pale golden with not much head. The nose and taste have pale malt, but not much of a citrus or herb tang which I like in a lager. The palate has reasonable body for a lager but it suffers from the thing that a lager should never suffer from - the end is not refreshing. Overall, a fairly average beer at best.

I mean it is a island beer, and you can’t make good beer without good water and islands have shit water. If it was August and I was out on a boat or something I’m sure red stripe would really hit the spot, but it’s January right now... -CB

From the stubby bottle someone left at my house after a party. Little bit of adjunct skunk, but not too bad. Pretty smooth. Inoffensive. Better than Bud Light. Only rating for the country tick ;)

330 ml bottle. Taste is kind of sweet (and fruity?) with a bitter-ish aftertaste. Didn’t exactly blow my mind. But maybe that’s cause I just got home from a New Year’s party and I’ve been drinking for the past 10 hours.

Tricker (101) - Quebec, CANADA - DEC 31, 2011
Bière de style jamaïquaine de 4.7 % d’alcool. Fort pétillante, léger col, odorat de bière commerciale style Labatt 50 ou bien O ‘Keefe. Odeur de « mouchette » style corona. Goût de bière « flat » malgré le fait qu’elle soit pétillante, un ajout de sel lors de la dégustation serait apprécié. Goût très ordinaire. Goût sucré, mais modeste.

Ok lager, kind off sweet taste. Good for spicy foods or a hot summerday . Not a strong beer .
