Red Stripe

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

Had it at the Carribean fest in Windsor Ontario. Pours a yellowish/light brown colour with a large white head. I was eating it with Jerk chicken and rice, so it went wonderful with the combination. This beer has a nice malty aroma with a sweet taste. I also liked the stubby bottle...

Bottle. Clear yellow colour with large creamy white mostly lasting head. Malty aroma. Sweet flavor.

light flavour. what does exist is kind of pleasant. aroma is pleasant as well. stubby bottle is outstanding. 1 appearance point should go toward that.

Bottle pours a clear golden yellow with a decent white head that fades quickly. Aroma is mostly sweet and malty, flavor is light, crisp, and clean. I’ve had this years ago and didn’t like it (from the bottle), but it was decent this time (in a glass).

Bottle on Honeymoon in Jamaica: Poured a yellow color with not much head. The aroma was of a beer. The flavor was refreshing, crisp and clean. Overall, better than most domestic pale lagers. Better in a bottle than on tap in Jamaica.

12oz bottle: pours golden brown with quick fading white head, aroma of pale malt and some specialty malt. flavor is lake a pale lager but has like an almost caramel flavor in the malt. the beer isnt that great but they get some points for not being like every other pale lager.

No love for the cool runnings of beer? I guess I just got a particularly good one. To be sure, there is nothing spectacular about this macro, and really nothing distinguishes it from the coronas of the world. What can I say? It’s fairly crisp and clean, not too skunky, and good with food.

I used to drink this a lot but haven’t had it in a long time. Didn’t expect it to hold up, but it’s actually still quite drinkable. I clean, sweet finish. Nice for hot weather drinkin’.
