Pale, clear yellow lager. Tons of foam on the pour, but quickly goes away with the utmost haste. Smells like good malt with a kiss of hops like schlit, and a decent skunk like a good pils and kinda like Corona ( the beer more fine.). Decent lacing on the glass nonethless. Too bad the mouthfeel is extremely watery, even more runny than water itself. Decent hoppy bland finish. I could drink this if it was chilled to an extremely cold temperature and I was in Jamaica, land of the criminals.

This is a complicated specimen. On the surface there is nothing special about this beer - an aroma that is barely noticable, an appearance similar to that of any mass produced American lager and an almost non-descript taste to match. However, this highly carbonated adult beverage has one advantage, it’s from Jamaica

Typical watery lager. Not too much to say. Better then some, easy to drink, and good on a hot day

Bottle: Yellow colored pour with small white head. Malty aroma with a sweet, spicy finish. Not much to this, but drinkable.

Pours clear pale yellow, white head. Aroma is sweet malt and faint hops. Flavor is very malty and watery, yet not as sweet corny as expected. Better than Bud, that’s about it.

24 ounce bottle. Pours a light golden yellow with a thin white head. Has a malt and grain aroma. Taste is very similiar, but it isn’t offensive like many beers with this taste. The taste reminds me of Tecate, but better. Overall, this is a faily clean, smooth, tasty and easy to drink beer. Plus the bottle is kind of cool. I just wish it was a little cheaper in my area.
