It is a light alcohol drink with not too strong bitterness but rather soft taste; therefore, it's easy to drink it up.

Rather sweet but with some grassy hop aroma. Smooth and a bit bland but light bodied and pretty drinkable - nowt special but better than a lot of big brand lagers if you just want something to drink in front of the tv.

This is a very good beer, interesting bottle. Much better than a typical lager, but nothing super special.

My first rating on ratebeer.com. Well, this is a fairly typical pale lager. Not much aroma, very light, clean, and easy. A bit of melony sweetness presides. Not great but doesn’t have that metallic Budweiser taste, at least. OK lager.

Just your typical average lager. No better or worse than most macros going around. Served very chilled it can be quite drinkable, but not a great beer by any means.

Clean, light malty nose. Watery and faint malty sweetness for flavor. Nothing really here, just blandness.

Like many beers of lesser prestige, cold is the key here. Properly chilled, this beer is a very good accompaniment to bachelor chow--being a Carribean beer, spicy food is ideal--chicken wings, Jumbali, Gumbo, Tejas Chili, Tex/Mex. The draught is off the chain if served cold. Very clean finish for a macro. Garnish with a lime and salt, a la Corona, and wash down some oysters or shrimp. Bon appetit!~
