The great Jamaican Beer we know today has set the standard by which other beers are measured since 1928. Today the company is a subsidiary of one of the largest and most profitable beverage and alcohol conglomerates Heineken.

A beautiful amber lager with low butterscotch flavour, full bodied and a smooth post palate sensation. Lager beer, light gold colour.

Ingredients: Pilsen Malt, Hops, Cassava Starch, Water

Appearance: The appearance of Red Stripe was of a normal lager. Hard to tell the color due to the brown and unique bottle that it came in.

Smell: I was able to smell the hops within this brew. I thought it was a pleasant smell.

Taste- I really like the taste of this beer. It was smooth and I was able to taste the alcohol.

Mouthfeel- The texture of the beer is very smooth.

Overall- I thought this was a good beer overall and I would drink it again.

Decent. Quite smooth. Actually, almost too smooth, sort of buttery, with sweet overtones.
Different, tho' not bad.
Suggestion: Cut it with a macro lager such as Bud, that has more carbonation, and it's just about perfect ! .)

Pretty typical beer aroma of sweet corn and malts, heavy undertones of that butterscotch described. The body's pretty much all the same, a bright, refreshing wave of sweet corn, butterscotch, and melon. It's simple and straightforward and a pretty good macro.

look: 3.25 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
APPEARANCE: Clean, pale, watery golden, with a light head of white suds.

AROMA: Cereal grains/malts, really pretty average to style.

TASTE: Light and malty/ cereal grainy, not overly sweet but hops are subtle. Pretty decent lager, not too unique but more than drinkable on a warm, sunny day in the Caribbean.
