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

Hot weather beer. Light gold color, medium head. A middle of the road lager. Slightly over carbonated? Mild malts and hops. Milder flavor. Mouthfeel is full and round, slightly spritzy. Mouthfeel is full and round.Finish is crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. Light and refreshing.

look: 2 | smell: 1.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 1.75 | overall: 2.5
Look: Bright yellow. So-so white foamy head that quickly recedes.
Smell: Not good. Some malt, but a little off-scented.
Taste: Simple and unsweet. Similar to Stella Artois or Peroni.
Feel: Thin and watery.
Overall: It’s a decent AAL that comes in a cool little bottle. Great for a hot day.

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.
