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

tastes a little syrupy sweet. maybe it’s a mind trick because of the medicine looking bottle. not really any bitterness to speak of. nothing really foul about it. one of the imported beers that are actually not made in canada. i don’t mind it. i’m going to keep going on this stuff.. really tho.. whats with the 11.2 oz tho. for some reason, i remember this one giving me a headache last time i drank it... I will let you know! ez to session. nite!

Bottle 330ml. A clear light golden colour with an average, short lasting head. An aroma of malt and fruit. The taste is light sweet. A medium body, watery texture, average carbonation and a short finish.

Vaguely malty aroma. Slightly malty taste with some grassy hops. Not really disgusting, but very tasteless.

500ml can. Pours a blonde colour with a white head. Caramel and corn nose. Flavours of caramel and corn also. A little bitter with a grassy hop finish. Moderate carbonation and a light CO2 prickle.

It looks ok, but that’s about where the positives stop. Very thin. Tastes grassy. All in all, pass.

Easy drinkable beer. Simple beer, not to heavy. Simple taste, little sweetness.

Very light. A waste of time. Even in Jamaica its a waste of time, what with the good stout they have down there.

Pours pale yellow with a medium sized foamy white head...not very lively looking. Aroma smells like skunky, wet straw. Flavor is slightly better as it isn’t so skunky but it still has a wet straw taste. Mouthfeel is actually very lively which suprised me...finish is dry and abrupt.
