1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 4/20
From notes. What it seemed to have a lot of skunkiness to it. ’Twas almost like a home brew. It’s a shame it’s retired.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Can’t attest to the colour or head as I’ve only ever had this from the bottle, always on a bloody hot day on Grand Cayman. But, served ice-cold, it does the job and doesn’t taste half bad. Label is pretty cool, too. Stingray’s website claims this is a wheat beer. Sure doesn’t taste like one...
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Mild citrus aroma, light bubbly appearance, lightly bitter, medium body, thin feel with a fizzy, bitter finish. Not exported - available only in Cayman Islands. I had on tap and bottled. Tap more flavorful and less carbonated made it a more enjoyable beer.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tap at Beach Club Colony, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Pours an average amber with an aroma of sweet malt. Flavor is grassy hops with a slight hint of cucumber. Average mouthfeel. Not bad for a post-parasailing brew in a beautiful place with a beautiful woman (my fiancee).
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Weak nose hinting of very mild caramel malt. The flavor is typical pale lager sweet corn and hints of caramel malt. Pretty predictable and boring. But at least I got a new country out of it, so sue me!
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
I think I would’ve enjoyed this more had I been sitting in the hot sun when I drank it. It’s got a fizzy yellow body (of course) with a large, uncontrollable, overflowing head. The aroma contains a barely perceptable sweet malt and a lemonish tartness. Tastes like a BMC with a lemon twist. More sun, please! <font size=-4>Sampled at a The LoSBD mini-meeting, thanks to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=3 and <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=1 And thank you for the country!<font size=-1>
1.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Sampled at the Beach Club in Grand Cayman. Of fairly amateurish home brew standard. Infection evident. Wouldn’t try it again unless nothing else was available on a hot day at the beach.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
When I first tried this beer at Breezes on Grand Cayman, it was a hands-down diacetyl bomb. I picked up a couple singles anyway to resample at home. Here I find a light-hazed, buttery-golden beer, overcarbonated with nearly a gusher of a white head. Lemon & DMS with light smoke in the aroma and sulphur shortly after. Flavor surprises me this time around with hints of clove and lemon. This beer fluctuates widely between being not-too-bad and fairly awful.
