Commercial Description:
First brewed in 1938.
It is a light alcohol drink with not too strong bitterness but rather soft taste; therefore, it's easy to drink it up.

This was a very weak beer. Very light and clear color with very little aroma. The flavor did have a little spice to it, but it was still weak. There was absolutely no aftertaste.

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.

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.
