It is a light alcohol drink with not too strong bitterness but rather soft taste; therefore, it's easy to drink it up.

Pours a straw yellow with little to no head. Smells of straw and skunky hops. Has a skunky hop taste to it, comparible in taste to Heinekin. Seems like something my wife will like, but not quite my style. Not a bad beer, and certainly good for a bit of session drinking, but not something I would seek out. Serving type: bottle

12oz bottle. Poured a straw yellow color with a foamy white head. Nose was yeasty with a hint of hop bitterness. A pretty good pale lager compared to most.

While looking up this beer I discovered Red Stripe light/lite ..in god’s name why? Yellow body/ white head..like a zit. Crisp rice lack of flavor. Adjucts junk. American cheap lager taste forced upon an unsuspecting Jamacian public. Man, this is crap.

Looks crisp and clear. Tastes like water and smells pretty close. I don’t see how this is much better than a Budweiser. Maybe because it’s from Jamaica.

aparte de la botella no tiene nada de rojo y es un sabor que deja mucho de por medio. la debe haber puesto de moda la mara fumada.

This is one of my all time favorite brews. The bottle exictes me everytime, it reminds me of music festivals, road trips, vacation, parties, and everything that could make one happy. Let out your inner rasta- drink this beer, turn up the reggae and lay out in the sun.

Went to a Diamondbacks game...it was this or Bud...and I chose the lesser of two evils. Huge 3-inch dense foamy white head sits atop a honey colored beer. I think the foam was a product of a bad pour but what can you expect at a baseball game??? Taste is surprisingly sweet and grassy...thin and uneventful. Wouldn’t try again.

Strong grassy nose, some stale cereal with honey too. Yellow gold color, small dissipating head. Mild honey sweetness, just the right amount of bitterness considering, pretty good balance. Well-carbonated, nice long fruity finish. This reminded me more of a Helles beer then your typical pale lagers. Pretty solid easy drinking beer.
