Red Stripe

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

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Poured from bottle into lager glass. Golden color with medium white head. Clean, crisp and tasty when cold. Similar to most mass-produced light lagers, but I feel Red Strip has slightly more body and yeast fruitiness. I love the squatty bottle and the idea of a best-selling import beer from Jamaica, mon, but sadly the beer is mediocre.

Bottle: Small white head on top of a clear golden yellow colored beer. Smell malts, light sweet, hint of hops and herbs. Tastes like a normal pilsner though a bit sweeter and with lesser ingredients. Herby malty light hoppy aftertaste. Not bad when it is warm, but there are better out there.

Nothing much to say about this... light, tasteless lager from Jamaica. Plain and simple.

Pours a pale yellow with lively carbonation. I first detected a bit of skunkiness similar to a Heineken but it smooths out with a mild sweetness. I find it quite drinkable and a pleasant surprise.

0.33l bottle. Pours a clear light unfiltered golden body with a small and bubbly sidesticking white head. Aroma is lager-ish with some light fruity hints. Average to lively carbonation, light-bodied and it has a thin watery mouthfeel. Flavors are also your typical lager. Pale malts with a little sweetness. Ends disturbingly quickly with a close to non-existing aftertaste.

Served in an ice cold 16oz can. It’s your basic, generic, fizzy yellow lager beer. But I will give vredit where credit is due: It’s very crisp, clean and refreshing after a long day on the water. I would drink again. It’s beer...Hooray Beer!!! I’d drink this before any BMC beers.

Bottle 33cl, a clear yellow beer with low head. Nose is malty, aroma is malty and very sweet with some caramel notes and a dusty hops presence, low hops aroma. Finish is on peppery hops, not as bad as expected but boring anyway.

12oz bottle. Pours light straw hue with a lasting white head and soda like carbonation. Nose is of medicine and grain. Light, crisp body. Taste is sweet corn and lemonade. Thanks god I bought only one bottle.
