Red Stripe

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

For some reason this beer has a meaty taste and almost tastes like thick blood. Very raw and tender and quite frankly too strong and rough around the edges. Yeah tastes of bloody and metal.. hmmm not sure why i drank this 3 cans in 1 go! probably has chemicals too.

Bottle from Tesco, it was on the grocery shelves rather than in the beer section, alongside other Jamacian delicacies such as jerk seasoning, coconut milk and some sort of dried fish! Anyway, it’s up to you whether you look for it. It’s thin, lacks aroma and flavour, another mass marketed, supremely bland lager.

Yellow and smells sweet, that’s about it. Jah man, this beer is bland.

Deep yellow pour with a big frothy white head. The stream of carbonated bubbles is almost hypnotizing. Aroma is a touch light, sweet malts. The flavor is true to the aroma, there is some mild hops and some sweet malts not too much of either. Pretty light bodied, and no funny aftertaste. An easy drink,

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. Light malty aroma, a bit of cereal. Flavor is sweet grainy malt. Not awful.

Bottle. Medicine bottle! Taste is malty and sweet with some corn notes and some sleazy alcohol.

Typical lager characteristics. Grain, corn, bready taste. Not much aroma. One of those beers I’ll never buy (again) but would drink if offered to me.

Pours with a minimal head. Smells slightly sweet. I agree on the corn taste. Not too much flavor but the cool ass bottle makes up for the mediocre beer inside. Pretty tastless.
