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

Faint malt aroma with a clear golden body with a fizzy head. Flavor has a sweet oaky flavor, kind of like Yuengling. A decent lager from Jamaica.

Appearance: Light golden. Little bit of white head. Shortlived. Aroma: Quite hoppy. Some fruit. Taste: Again, quite hoppy. Crisp. Bit of malt. Easy-drinking but forgettable. Info: 330ml bottle, 9/10-2008

Bottle from my honeymoon in St Thomas. Pours nice light golden color with small white head that leaves only a small trace. Faint fruit and hop aroma, not much else. Flavor has a mild fruit accent, very light hop and malt characteristics. Enjoyable here on the beach under the hot sun, but I certainly won’t seek it out back home.

Pale in color. Watery in flavor. Aroma is nearly non-existent. The only aroma I experienced ever with this beer is a slight skunk. Pours thin, no head, no lacing from the standard Red Stripe bottle. Taste has some mild skunk and little else. About the best use for this beer is a lawnmower beer. There isn’t much to expect.

Pours cloudy. Smells like any other cheap beer. Upon my first taste, I realized that the Jamaicans had carbonated and bottled bong water.
