Commercial Description:
First brewed in 1938.
It is a light alcohol drink with not too strong bitterness but rather soft taste; therefore, it's easy to drink it up.

Bottle from my roommate. Poured a clear yellow color with little head. I really didn’t get much of anything on the aroma, perhaps a bit of light malts. Taste is about as bland as the aroma. Light malts and watery flavor. It was easy to drink, but so is water. I do like the grenade bottles though, they are fun to throw and now our living room is covered in shards of glass.

12oz bottle. Yellow with no head after a second or two. Stinky veggie aroma. Similar taste. Definitely no better than cheap american lager, and way more expensive. Not a good combo. No cleanliness, ehh.

not good. I don’t really understand why anyone would pay for this over a Budweiser or something (I would much rather have an MGD or Lebatt Blue), perhaps its just because of the bottles and funny commercials. Little to no aroma, like a simple light and cheap lager. Looks like a normal cheap lager: little to no color in appearance, and a minute and fading head. Watery nothing flavor, except the hint of sweet burnt rubber. Palate was no different than dirty water: light and uninteresting/unappealing. I used to really enjoy these when I first started drinking beer, but I couln’t even finish the one my friend gave me last night.

12oz grenade. Buttered sweet corn on the nose. Pours bright, pee yellow with a thick and creamy white head. Sweet and steely on the tongue. A touch of grassy hops. Cardboard and paper. Buttery and metallic. Heavier on the palate than expected. Unless I’m in Jamaica, I’ll pass thank you very much.

Bottle-Jamaica. While I do enjoy this beer, the lime just elevates the experience. Without the lime...ehh. If a beer needs to depend on a non-beer entity to make it enjoyable, said beer is not a distiguishable beer.

this is a nice-ish beer. mild, malty, no bitterness at all. easy drinking, great for quenching your thirst on a hot summer day. also, i’m a sucker for the stubby little bottles...

It’s not bad, but the only reason I gave it more of a reading is that it has a slight bit more taste than our American domestics. I mean slight, this was recommended by a old friend of mine, he said it was great, but I thought differently. It has a weak body, but it does go down smooth. That is good. It is easy to drink, but it usually is overpriced, so watch it, I recommend it only when its on a good sale.

1,12oz bottle, about all it deserves, its rather boring, with the same taste as like a bud light with the added kick of Jamaican water, however thats about all it adds, some spice, cant discern what spice it is though is added to the mix?
