COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
First brewed in 1938.
It is a light alcohol drink with not too strong bitterness but rather soft taste; therefore, it’s easy to drink it up.

The US market version is brewed at City Brewery’s Latrobe plant since 2012.

11.2oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear pale gold with almost no head. Aroma is slightly skunky with some grains but also something floral and a little citrus. Taste is light bitter. Grains and herbal hops dominate with a little skunk. Medium bodied with a slick texture. Lively carbonation and a longer than average finish. Overall, not bad. Nothing super special here, but D&G does make some other really good stuff.

Bottle. Pours light yellow with white head. Smells spicy, cloves. Tastes very light, crisp, definitely some spice to it, not too much flavor. Okay.

In a bottle... I think the commercials are what sells this beer... just some malty flavor

Mass produced beer that seems to be pretty popular but there isn’t much taste, nothing really to make it stand out from most other mass produced beer.

Esta cerveza Jamaiquina no tiene nada con que enamorar los paladares finos. Unicamente un ligero sabor a pasas.

This beauty of a blonde was definitely a pleasant surprise. If glacier water could be put in beer form, I would make the comparison. Very light and clean. Reminds me of a whipped dessert.

Appearance: light yellow with small white head. Aroma: light malt, corn. Flavor: Slightly grainy with distinct adjunct flavors. Palate: Light bodied, watery. Overall: A great beer to try once and ponder on how it sells so well.

2013/03/31 - Pours a clear straw color with a thin white head. Aroma is corn, rice, grass, metallic and skunkiness. Taste is corn and grass with a skunky and slightly metallic aftertaste. Very thin mouthfeel, watery with medium carbonation. Typical macro pale lager. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
