Good but not outstanding. I liked immediately the "hoppiness". Serve it cold---I just drank a 24 oz. Red Stripe, and by the time I finished the bottle, it was no longer cold and the flavor had gone a bit downhill. Didn’t seem overly sweet, also didn’t notice any lack of carbonation

Red Stripe does have a cool bottle and great marketing, but the beer is bland. It does, as advertised, have a soft sweet flavor of malt and corn perhaps. Pours golden with a weak fizzy head. Better than some Pale Lagers, but not great.

Golden blond coloured beer with very little carbonation and an average white head. Sweet hoppy arome. Medium Palate. Finish is light bitter, hoppy. Medium pale lager

Bottle in Jamaica. Fairly average all around. Has a nice bitter aftertaste, hops fairly pronounced.

Bottle - Pale lager. Smooth, not much a bite at the end. was nicely surprised because Iwas hesitant of a Jamaican Beer.

Rerate: Had this beer over the weekend and it reminded me of a budweiser. Wasnt as impressed with it as I was before (was a 2.9). I guess my taste has "grown up" some.

Bottle at Beer Palace, Oslo. Finally rated this beer, an old favorite. It’s very distinctive of course. Quite malty, soft. Watery and always goes down well. But not anything spectacular.

12 stubby bottle, like the picture. This beer was a pretty big suprise. I wasnt expecting much but the carbonation and clean taste were pretty impressive! The aftertaste is nice too. I would get this more but it give me bad hangovers
