An alright beer. Sadly my girl friend let me have it to rate. But from the best I have enjoyed this beer. Very light, and looks light a cheap but taste pretty good.

Bottle @ Churchill’s...Drank this right from the bottle, as it was highly recommended by some Jamaican friends. I figured they were clearly biased, but I tried it anyway. Pale malt flavor with very slight hop bitterness, pretty basic pale lager. Far better than I expected, and it was smoother and cleaner tasting than Bud, Miller etc.

Very drinkable beer. Goes down smooth, tastes best very cold, not so much warm. Flavor is not complex at all, not interesting, but plesent.

Pours an average pale golden hue, with an average white head. Taste is pretty average for that of a pale lager. No real hop flavor. no real malt flavor. Just a generic, average "beer" flavor. Average mouthfeel with average bitterness and average depth. Goes down pretty average. I don’t know about you guys, but in my book, and "average" beer is pretty bad, and not worth trying again. Especially for something as pricey as this. Its just not worth it. Buy a generic American lager. It will taste pretty much the same, and you’’ save a couple of bucks.

Had at a company X-mas party in the bottle...Hadn’t tried in a LONG time...now I remember why...It’s more $$$ than BMC, but tastes the same...the unique bottle seems to be the only thing going for it. Just a regular lager...nothing special

Average beer. Goes down easy, kind of sweet, though ti is highly carbonated. Extra points for still being in a stubby! As long as it is on sale it is still better then the Bud/Coors/Miller garbage here.

A decent light beer. If you prefer a heavier more stout brew then this lager probably isn’t for you. However, if you are searching for a light lager that doesn’t sacrifice flavor for lightness, then I reccomend this brew. Nice flavor and finishes crisp and clean.

Bottle. Pours a light yellow color with a small white head. Aroma of malt and not much else. Has a hint of hops. Not bad but nothing to write home about either.
