Red Stripe

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

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

Golden colour. No head. Very little aroma. Flavour of hobs and malt, but very acidic. Watery and boring

2 things that I like about this beer: the stubby bottle and the painted-on label. Unfortunately, they have nothing to do with the taste. Routine generic offshore "lager." Lacks the aroma, body or flavor of a real lager. This is not much more than gimmick beer, mon.

I detest this beer, my friend and I kept passing the glass to try and make the other finish it. Typical crap lager if you ask me. Pale yellow, too carbonated, bland, fizzy taste, stale hops, sour bite to it. rather have a heineken and i dont like heineken either.

A: The pour is a clear golden straw color with a fluffy white head. The retention is actually somewhat decent. S: Big time adjuncts on the nose. Lots of corn with some nondescript grain aromas. Some grassy notes along with a bit of a skunkiness. T: Very mild grain flavor with plenty of sweet corn. There is actually a bit of hop character here, providing a bit of grass and spice. A bit of a surprise for this type of beer. M: The body is light, not shockingly, with a fairly high level of carbonation. D: As far as adjunct lagers go, this is definitely toward the top end of things. Not terrible at all, and heck, even the light version is pretty decent.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Funny and strange commercials, an alright beer, and good times had by all.

had this while at a ragga jungle show a while back. i couldn’t really enjoy it though unfortunately.

UPDATED: MAR 24, 2007 Bright yellow, thin head. Skunky sweetish aroma, sweetish taste. Thin and bland. Overrated.

Not much flavour here. Carbonated mineral water with some malts and hops added. Probably an OK beach beer in the Jamaica heat, brewing it in Europe seems like a bad joke. Cute bottle.
