Red Stripe Light

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

Bottle at Margaritaville in the Montego Bay airport: Pale golden with a fizzy white ring for head. Mild sweet pale malt aroma. Fizzy and thin. Papery flavor upfront with leads to a touch of doughy sweetness and almost no bitterness. Lacks character, I’ve had worse.

This beer is lighter and paler in colour than its normal counterpart, but the smell and taste were very similar. Obviously a good thing if you want a less filling, still flavourful beer. I had this on tap a couple times in Jamaica, but have not ever seen it here in America. Worth a try if you can find it...but otherwise, definately try some when you are relaxing in the sun in Jamaica!

Bottle at Knutsford Court Hotel, Kingston, JA. Not too bad for a light Lager I didn’t think. Refreshingness is what I look for when sampling such beers in hotter climates than the UK (so most of the World then), and this was swiggable enough. Soft, slightly sweaty flavour, but passable.

Appeared clear and light with a carbonated fizz forming a quick white head in the bottle upon opening (no pour... swigged from bottle). Delicate aromas are florals and grains while the flavor finds a pleasant sweetness resting on pale malt haunches. Terribly refreshing on a day with 100% humidity, this is a beer which is perfect on its home turf.

Refreshing like water, Slightly skunky aroma and thin body. Nice to drink in a warm weather country I guess.

275 ml bottle-A light golden in color with a head that dissipates quickly. Tast of a typical light pale lager. Was not too watery. Not bad.

Too light, not much head even from the tap, not much taste to it, overly carbonated

On tap in Jamaica. I'm glad it was free on the resort because I would not have been happy if I actually had to pay for this. Regular Red Stripe is better, but not by too much.
