Can shared by JK, thanks! Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has wet straw and a bit of corn with sweet grains backing. Flavor has corn and sweet grains with some straw underlying.

Can onboard Norwegian Bliss in the Pacific ocean. Pours clear pale yellow gold with a big fluffy white cap. Aroma is caramel, malt, damp cardboard, sugar sweetness, green apple. Taste is malt, grain, caramel. Still quite sweet. Meh at best

Got it on draft at the Bearded Clam in Nassau. It looks crisp and it is quite refrshing but it fails to excite in any way. Zesty malt undertones give it a highlight but overall it is bland and corny.

This was good with much more malt flavor than I expected. Good palate. Seems surprisingly heavy.

Copied from Untappd. February 12, 2023. A solid lager, would be good on the beach, but nothing to write home about.

Old Untappd checkin, January 20, 2020. Clear glass bottle. Slightly bitter and dry as seems to be the trend across the Kalik line. This one is a little more palatable than the rest - not that that's saying much.

Old Untappd checkin, July 19, 2019. Clear glass bottle. Skunky aroma and bitter, crisp flavor. Awful, and this one was a drain pour if I remember right.

Clear golden beer. Suprisingly good beer for such style. Not so boozy than expected. Malty and strong.

Bottle from total wine & more in st peat. Clear 12 ounce bottle, if you round it up. A little bit of bitter bite up front. Taste is a little more than I expected, considering the original kalik's behavior. Yes, some astringent aftertaste following each gulp. Yes, a little personality. Not bad for a lager, funny its rated as a malt liquor, its more like a premium lager. Kalik gold malt likker, pretty funny, I didn't know they made malt likker in euro countries! LOL

Pale golden colour, small white head. Cardboard, straw and paper in the nose. Light-bodied. Watery, cardboardish and grassy. Crap but my #160 beer country.

Bottled (thanks GodOfThunder!). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grains, mild salty tones with some maize too. Flavour is maize, grains, some strong sweetness with a strange dry cardboardy thing to it. Maybe good in the heat of the caribbean, but not very refreshing in the Finish autumn. New country tick still! YAY!

On tap. A little better than the regular Kalik. Slightly more perfumy, floral hop notes, light bitterness. I didn’t even know it was stronger abv until later - it didn’t taste it. 5/4/6/3/12 (3.0/5)

Bottle. Pours a pale clear yellow. Aroma of light fruits, straw, pale malt. Flavor of light fruits, pale malt, cracker. It’s a typical pale lager, maybe better than some. Gets the job done. 5/4/5/3/12 (2.9/5)

Bottle from total wine, St petersburg. Your regular Caribbean lager, perfect in a warm day, but nothing to write home about.

Very pale and watery lager that works best as a thirst quencher under the sun. In those circumstance the beer is good!

Kalik Radler - Mango
Clear 345ml bottle bought in Nassau, Bahamas. Pours an opaque orange-gold color with a small pale yellow head and fair retention. Spots of lacing. Nice mango/citrus aroma. Not too cloying. Sweet mango fruit juice flavor. Sweet, but not too sweet. A tasty alternative for non-beer friends. No beer flavor here. Alcopop with very little alcohol.

Kalik Radler - Cranberry
Clear 345ml bottle bought in Nassau, Bahamas. Pours an opaque cranberry color with a small light pink head and poor retention. No lacing. Cranberry juice aroma. Very sweet cranberry juice flavor. Drinks like a soda. It's refreshing sugary fruit juice, but no beer found here. Alcopop with minimal alcohol.

Clear bottle. Clear pale yellow pour with a white head and decent retention. Spotty lacing. Skunky aroma. Fairly pedestrian taste. Slightly sharp boozy finish. Decent for a malt liquor buzz.

I've had this sitting in the back of my booze cellar forever - brought it for the wife but forgot to make her drink it. Anyway, can't be any worse for the aging. Way too sweet with fake lemon. Pours murky white with yeast pieces on bottom of bottle. Chemical type finish. Bottle from some place in New Providence.

Kalik Gold
12 ounce bottle This is little more than a new country tick. Thanks to a generous trader for the bottle but unless you've got no access to cocktails while at the beach give this one a hard pass. Otherwise alter your expectations accordingly. AROMA / APPEARANCE The faint golden body rests under a lean white head. From within from grainy adjuncts, stale bread, and a generally unappealing aroma that the lay person would describe as "beer". FLAVOR / PALATE Almonds, cereal, and two day old stale bread fills the mouth with a bland experience. The profile verges on offputting though thankfully this particular bottle did not seem to suffer from any infections or other issues. The lifeless mouthfeel dies just seconds after entering the throat. This should be purchased as a single if you must get the rate.

[12oz bottle from Total Wines, Naples.] A bright straw coloured pour with a billowing white head and moderate carbonation; corn syrup aroma; corn syrup taste with a light herbal bitterness. Similar to most tropical lager, best drunk cold in the sun.

Golden color a typical nondescript tropical beer. Drinkable but wouldn’t go out of my way to get it.

I actually had Kalik Gold Extra Strong, 7%. Great tasting beer. As someone who does not care for beer that much I drank this several times at Paradise Island in Bahamas, brought home two cans I bought in the airport. Would definitely buy this beer If I can find it anywhere nearby.

The high rating is due to the experience. I had this beer while on vacation in Nassau, Bahamas. It was warm and rainy and we sat outside on the beach and danced all night and sang karaoke. I had 3 or 4 of these and felt like I was having the time of my life with my family. I bought two packs of these to take home at the Duty Free at the airport for only $30 Bahamian dollars. I still have one can left for a special occasion. Planning to go to Florida just to get more. It’s a watery tasting beer with buttery flavor that masks the high alcohol content. Can’t complain.
