Red Stripe

Brewed by Desnoes and Geddes (Diageo PLC)
Style: Pale Lager
Kingston, Jamaica

pale amber, fizzy white head Aroma is strong for a pale. Slight corn arouma

24 oz. bottle. Pours a golden color with a medium white head. The aroma is corn and bit skunky. The taste is sweet corn but very easy to drink. Love a sixer of this on a hot summer day, HOORAY BEER!

Bottle. Malts smell of hay and cereal, hops of herbs and/or grass and there’s a light barnyard smell for the yeast with corn and cardboard in the background. Head is fizzy white with no lacing but is mostly lasting. Color is a super fizzy, clear yellow. Flavor starts lightly acidic and finishes moderately acidic and bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery with a touch of slickness, with a fizzy carbonation and finishes lightly astringent. Refreshing enough and unique in flavor and aroma make this drinkable, but it’s far off from a "must have beer".

THOUGHTS: Not great, but still better than stuff like Heineken or Corona. This is easier to drink than those. Just wanted to point out that I did give a bonus point for the cool bottle. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a sparkling, light yello witha paper thin, white head that fully diminished. The aroma, which was barely there at all was light malt and hops. The initial flavor was lightly sweet and acidic, while the finish was moderately sweet with a short duration. Really not much flavor. The light body was water with fizzy carbonation and a watery finish.

Bottle, from Duvel tulip, at cellar temp. Very pale amber, fizzy white head fades completely leaving no lace. Aroma is quite strong for a pale lager, but not at all pleasant; very sour and cheap smelling. Light bodied and thin textured, with sharp fizzy carbonation. Tastes cheap, grainy and sweet; my score of two is really too kind. Finishes with an artificial bitterness. "Imported Jamaican Lager"? Imported swill.

Despite the great commercials, I failed to see the light after I drank this beer. Just another pale lager.

It is NOT an Abbey Dubbel...im unsure what specific. i think it is a light ale. it is similar to a Pacifico but better. JAMAICAN REDSTRIPE is great beer.

Hooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy Beer!!!!!!!
