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 is a complicated specimen. On the surface there is nothing special about this beer - an aroma that is barely noticable, an appearance similar to that of any mass produced American lager and an almost non-descript taste to match. However, this highly carbonated adult beverage has one advantage, it’s from Jamaica

12oz bottle at sea. I’m pretty sure there’s a giant brewery somewhere in the Caribbean which pumps out one beer into a dozen or so different bottles, and they’re all the official beer of <insert island name>. I’d say this is actually a bit worse than most of the others.

The bottle was better than the beer. Wouldn’t go out of my way to drink it again, perhaps if I was in Jamaica I would drink it

Sorta boring arse lager. They’ve got some cool strong stouts in Jamaica.Dragon & Jamaica stouts.They’re available here too. Red Stripe does have legit street cred, I guess.Very subtle malty flavour and kinda dry. Its not bad lager :I’ll stick to the stouts for mine.

Golden pour, with not much character. Little bit of hops, sorta malty sweet. Much better than a bunch of the "economy" beer out there. I’d drink another if I was in Jamaica sitting on the beach somewhere.

Golden colored. Malty, sweet, with some bitterness. A little light hopping balance. A bit watery, thin and only a little foul tasting. Probably better than quite a few other pale lagers. Not bad for the Jamaican beaches, mowing the lawn or perhaps slugging on the golf course but nothing very good here.
