Red Stripe

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

Pours clear pale yellow, white head. Aroma is sweet malt and faint hops. Flavor is very malty and watery, yet not as sweet corny as expected. Better than Bud, that’s about it.

rather watery taste, but goes down easy. i wasn’t too impressed but i have certainly had much worse

24 ounce bottle. Pours a light golden yellow with a thin white head. Has a malt and grain aroma. Taste is very similiar, but it isn’t offensive like many beers with this taste. The taste reminds me of Tecate, but better. Overall, this is a faily clean, smooth, tasty and easy to drink beer. Plus the bottle is kind of cool. I just wish it was a little cheaper in my area.

Golden color with a moderate head that measures about a fingers length. Aroma is not all too strong, slight sweet smell. Flavor is not much, a bit of sweetness cancels some of the bitterness making it easy to drink. Hopefully Jamaica has better beer than this.

i’ve had this both in a bottle and on tap numerous times when i have visted jamaica (last trip january of this year). stay at all inclusives, you drink a lot of this. pours yellow with a medium head. mild nose with traces of grain. the flavor is also light (but the commercial description sets one up for a ’soft taste’ in the beer). reasonably carbonated. refreshing when snoozing on the beach in negril. while this beer is anything but a winner, it is supremely inoffensive and i have drunk gallons of it in short periods of time with out blacking out (as far as i know). and i look forward to drinking a lot more of it next january while avoiding the chicago winter.

Bottle. An Ok drinking beer. A simple tasting beer. Mild, easy to drink, good for parties. Kind of like a generic soda that no one complains about.

Yo tengo una version inglesa pero no es un cerveza muy rica, osease no es jamaicana

Bottle from my roommate. Poured a clear yellow color with little head. I really didn’t get much of anything on the aroma, perhaps a bit of light malts. Taste is about as bland as the aroma. Light malts and watery flavor. It was easy to drink, but so is water. I do like the grenade bottles though, they are fun to throw and now our living room is covered in shards of glass.
