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.

Hey this beer isn’t have bad. Smooth, easy to drink, and refreshing. I’d rather have this than most big commercialized lagers. Clear straw yellow in color. Head is pretty terrible. Only the most slight of bitter flavors.

very clear straw, small head medium bubbles. Not pee like aroma, but reminiscent of my dads stomach acid enducing super-cheap lagers. Malty sweat. A little sour in a fresh way. Watery, prickly, vague but present alcohol. Not so nice aftertaste. A real thirst quencher. Not bad, just not really a beer. Purchased in SuperBrugsen.

Summer 09’s new way for Quebec nationalised liquor stores to please the Jamaican community? Hope it works and make some jamaican-Quebecois happy because, with the 30 to 40 kinds of beers they sell, this one is not really a wonder for beer lovers. Light white fizz foam at first that quickly disapears completly. Slightly chemical macro-like quite displeasing aroma, quite obvious and strong; headacheful... Pretty malty, maybe some apple juice, notes of banana, but not a very good taste. Not awful either. Just bland. Dryness more than bitterness occuring from the reserved (least to say) hopping. On a beach, in Jamaica, in a rastafarian party or while smoking a joint (?), it might be quite suitable. At home, on a regular basis, not for me...

Light and alcohol and also light on taste. Typical boring plain weak lager. Best drunk on the beach so the ambiance enhances the experience.

i’m trying to give some kudos for originality, cool bottle, plain label, it’s from 1938 and its jamaican what the hell...not the worst lager it has a little kick...let me stop..

16 oz. can. Smooth lager, golden pour, white head. Relatively weak aroma. Stronger flavor than most macro lagers. Hops, malts. Light-medium body. Not great, not terrible.
