Thanks Dad..... now say that phrase as sarcastically as possible - like Bart and Lisa Simpson would. What a shit ass beer! Just stunk right from the pour. This will be flushed immediately. The beauty of this total crap beer is that I know it’s fresh cause my parents just brought it back from Jamaica. This is what it smells and tastes like fresh (and I can only imagine how brutal this is not fresh): Aroma: stank ass stank stank, skunk and then pee... and I’ll have to specify here and say that it can be no other than skunk pee or the pee of a bloated skunk corpse on the side of the road that has just been popped by the tires on a tractor. Maybe this more closely resembles the odor of the perfume that a dirty, meth addicted prostitute would "freshen" up with. Chemicals and, well, I just can’t describe this smell as it is putrid and has absolutely no resemblance to a beer. The taste is hardly beer either with dust, very slight sweetness - what the hell did they brew this mess with? Molted dreadlocks? It’s horrible! It is, however, more drinkable than smellable - yes, smellable. I just invented that word. Brutally foamy, thin and a - wait!! what is this? a... a..... a malty finish? Can it be? Kill these people for producing this ghastly disaster.

Not much to this- a typical thin bodied, slightly grainy and watery Carribean beer with little real nose or flavor, except for the lime squeezed into it. However, I was drinking this at a little outside bar in Ocho Rios last week, while enjoying a nice cigar. This no doubt affected my perception of this beer somewhat....how could anything be too bad at that point?

WOW this was bad. Bottle from Jamica brought back by father. Aroma is cornish sweet and grainy, hints of some kind of chiomically bitterness. Taste is a similar big mess of a thing and the carbonation is incredible, quite hard to drink actually.

I really don’t have much to say about this lager. It poured a golden body…. The nose had sweet malty notes of honey, rosewater, and some tart rotten lemon. It was just a boring Caribbean lager, almost like drinking a Coors Original.

I'll echo Oakes' comment - this has rather limited appeal. Almost all of these "American Standard" beers are starting to taste the same to me.

Smells slightly skinky without being offensive. Almost has that familiar cheap lager aroma. Nothing wrong with the appearance, light fold with thin white film head. Carribean or cheap-hop flavour. Raw and thin at the same time. Bad vegetable flavour and sour finish.

Golden colour with a mostly diminishing white frothy head. Grassy aroma. Virtually tasteless, with a very light hint of a bitter finish. Despite looking very carbonated, mouthfeel is very soft, almost like it melts in your mouth. Or like it was never there.

A very unappealing beer from Jamaica. I will definitely stick to the Red Stripe if I am going to drink beer from this island. Pors a effervescent golden grainy color. Soda head, that is fastly fading. Tastes like grass, with a very dirty earth aftertaste.
