This bubbly yellow beer poured with a decent white head and a pale malt aroma. It’s a standard warm weather drink, with a refreshing light watery malt taste and a hint of hops at the finish.

The bottle I had expired about a year ago, so I should have thrown it out. Instead I tried it and was pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t that bad and I could see myself drinking these on the beach. probably a little better when fresh. Smooth, refreshing and light (watery) like other Caribbean beers.

Hey this beer isn’t have bad. Smooth, easy to drink, and refreshing. I’d rather have this than most big commercialized lagers. Clear straw yellow in color. Head is pretty terrible. Only the most slight of bitter flavors.

very clear straw, small head medium bubbles. Not pee like aroma, but reminiscent of my dads stomach acid enducing super-cheap lagers. Malty sweat. A little sour in a fresh way. Watery, prickly, vague but present alcohol. Not so nice aftertaste. A real thirst quencher. Not bad, just not really a beer. Purchased in SuperBrugsen.

Summer 09’s new way for Quebec nationalised liquor stores to please the Jamaican community? Hope it works and make some jamaican-Quebecois happy because, with the 30 to 40 kinds of beers they sell, this one is not really a wonder for beer lovers. Light white fizz foam at first that quickly disapears completly. Slightly chemical macro-like quite displeasing aroma, quite obvious and strong; headacheful... Pretty malty, maybe some apple juice, notes of banana, but not a very good taste. Not awful either. Just bland. Dryness more than bitterness occuring from the reserved (least to say) hopping. On a beach, in Jamaica, in a rastafarian party or while smoking a joint (?), it might be quite suitable. At home, on a regular basis, not for me...

Light and alcohol and also light on taste. Typical boring plain weak lager. Best drunk on the beach so the ambiance enhances the experience.
