The look and smell are good, nothing special. But I really like how this one tastes. Much more flavor than the standard American Lagers. Goes down smooth. Very easy to drink.

Just terrible. Busch light is better than this, and that is terrible beer.

Got it because I saw it in the background of James Bond in Dr. No. It's ok, doesn't really taste like anything though. Shaken not stirred.

Best by date : 8/23/17 | Brewed & bottled by DESNOES & GEDDES Limited, Kingston, Jamaica.
Pours clear gold, with white head.
Aroma is sweet, bready malt,wet straw, and some floral hops.
Taste is similar to aroma, but less sweet, and less intense/saturated. There is a light, pleasant, bitterness on the finish.
Feel is light/watery, sliding into light/oily, with very fine carbonation tingle, that works with the light bitterness to provide a dry, crisp finish.
AALs are NOT my thing. The aroma is especially what turns me off. HOWEVER....., this stopped just short of that, then surprised me with better flavor, & a nice crisp bitterness, rather than a rounded-off corn sweetness. I actually like it, and wouldn't mind having it again, from time to time.
