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 12oz. It’s been quite a while since i had one of these. I drank it when i was in Jamaca - right after landing the plane someone came and sold it to people on the bus. In fact the 1993 movie "The Firm" came out after our trip and was advertising the beer on some of the sceens in Jamaca. The ratings are about what i remember, a foul taste. It seemed like a weak beer, not much good beer flavor at the time; and i was a bud man back then. That was my one and only Red Stripe. Not to blame it on the beer, but i was sick for two weeks after my trip with some kind of parasite. uhg

Bottle. Pours a very light yellow with a decent full head. Aroma is a light metallic funk... typical lager smell. Very sweet, grassy flavor... fades back to that metallic taste at the finish. Better than many other of its ilk, nonetheless.

Bottle from the corner bodega, helluva lot better than the American macros otherwise available. Not a bad brew if you just need some cheap beer. Some "sour" notes as mentioned before, thin and pretty watery, while maintaining decent beer flavor. Great for summer cool-down chugging as it’s low alcohol.

Give a white kid some dread locks and a red strip and you’ve got this low brow lager that is enjoyed by the mass poser crowd...nobody in the Carribean drinks it...drinkable, decent.

Pours gold into a shaker. Bright white head quickly recedes to hug rim. Sour malt aromas. Crisp with sour fruits from front to back.

The best beer for drinking to either get pissed on or to throw up on. Vulgar taste - worse than Stella Artois in my opinion - annoyingly this is getting more and more popular.

From a 24oz bottle. In most ways your typical lager, but it does have at least a little character. A far superior choice than most American macros (Bud, Miller etc).
