Red Stripe

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

Bottle, 12 oz. Light gold color with a clear and sparkling body. Heavy malt aroma with almost no hops. Light and thin on the palate with a bitter finish. Somewhat salty.

Yellow straw color with a fizzy white head. Clear. Taste and smell of corn, malts, and a tad of hops. You can get it down, but its not that good.

This is definitely not what I was expecting. I was expecting something a little more "aley". I was surprised to find that this is only 4.7% as I feel that only a few sips of it have left me reeking of booze. Other than that it has little character and even tastes somewhat Malt-Liquor-esque. I imagine that most samplers of this won’t become repeat-offenders, and that most people try this or drink it simply for the novelty of it being "jamaican lager". Or to rate it, as is the case here. Otherwise there is little value here.

metallic tasting lager but that’s about it. quite weak and lifeless and not even as refreshing as some of it’s similarly dull friends

funny bottle, had to try it being as exotic as jamaican from my point of view. poor in every aspect, no taste no aroma no colour.

Sugar beer! Not much flavor other than sweet and carbonation. Malted soda is more like it. Still, not bad on the beach in Montego Bay.

This was a very weak beer. Very light and clear color with very little aroma. The flavor did have a little spice to it, but it was still weak. There was absolutely no aftertaste.

Nothing special, not bad either. Better than Budweiser/Keystone/any American macro brew. Easy to drink (to get drunk), not for taste.
