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

Just your typical average lager. No better or worse than most macros going around. Served very chilled it can be quite drinkable, but not a great beer by any means.

On tap in Jamaica. Poured a clear gold with a quickly dissipating white head. Aroma had notes of corn and grain. Flavor was watered down with a bit of piney hops.

In a can, but still light smell with a corn air to it. Crisp, yellow, and fizzy.

330 ml bottle from LCBO, served cold in a Scotch Irish taster glass.

App.: Clear light golden with a small white head. Aroma: Light grain/cereal, a touch of grassiness, a little skunk. Palate: Medium body and carbonation. Flav.: A touch of cardboard, some nice fruitiness and light malts, grain/cereal; dry with basically no bitterness.

Meh, not undrinkable.

Diminutive bottle. Pale, golden body, crystal clear topped with a small, fizzy white head, no lace. Aroma of apple peel, corn, hay. Light bodied, heavily carbonated with foamy carbonation, dry finish. Mild flavor with apple, touch of hops, cereal, wet paper, watered down. Session only, but a bit too foamy even for that. Kind of gross after it sits. Must be ice cold; drink from bottle: Don’t waste a glass on this (except for rating purposes).

Bottle. I can’t believe, I haven’t rated this one sooner. Watery, not much flavor. Sands beer from the Bahamas is a better beer. But, I had it in Jamaica, and it added to the whole Jamican experience. Wouldn’t drink it here again but would love to drink it there.

12oz bottle drank at Sybergs in Maryland Heights. This is a nice bitter pale lager and one of the better examples of the style. My chief complaint about this beer is that too many of them give me a headache. It’s typical lager with tendancies towards an APA.

Clear burnt yellow color with no head. Aroma of some light malts and corn. Flavor is sweet, caramel malts and corn.
