Stag Lager Beer
Carib Brewery Limited

This beer tastes EXACTLY like Skol from the same brewery - ther is literally no discernible difference, so it’s getting the same review from me.

Pours a pale straw color with a sudsy white head that disappears pretty quickly. The nose features a little grass and lots of cereal grain and corn.

The taste follow the nose and the mouthfeel is
very light and decently crisp. Full disclosure - this tastes like a poor man’s Heineken, which the brewery also brews. A typical Caribbean lager.

Poured from a 295ml can.
Another just ok Caribbean lager.
A hot day cheap beer.

275 ml green bottle

Clear pale straw color, white head. Aroma is grainy and a little sweet. Similar flavor, maybe a little light struck, but not too bad when it's cold. Thin bodied and fizzy carbonation

 

Hilariously bad, but still not offensively bad like Carling. It doesn't pretend to be better than it is. Pours a very light, very clear straw colour, with no head to speak of but enough carbonation to keep a patch of white on the surface. On the nose, a big hit of skunk that softens to a slight hint of savoury. On the tongue, a coppery overtone that gives way to artificial sweetness. Incredibly thin in the mouth, but it belies the ABV, which is impressive in a way.

 

 

 

I bought a 6 pack at the Beer Store in Ontario Canada Stag lager but I noticed the ABV on my bottles were 5.2%
The bottles were 275ml .
Not bad average drinking lager beer
Ice cold out of the bottle is best for this type of beer kinda like a Corona.
Overall it's ok
Easy to drink.
Cheers

 

 

 

 

L- Pale straw, clear, pours with thin white head, already receded to a partial patch.
S- Popped the cap and there was a huge waft of 'something West Indian and herbal' from the bottle. That rapidly calms down when in the glass but it was striking. Now I just get mild grains and some hoppiness.
T- Mild, thin, some dryness in the tail. The dryness has more of a soda-water feel than hopping.
F- Highly carbonated in the mouth, too much in my view. Lacks body.
O- It might be ideal, in being refreshing, on a scorching day in Trinidad but less so in London/UK. It really lacks any character. The lable indicates 5.2% ABV, but I get nil sense of the presence of alcohol in it.
BB: 02/20 275ml bottle. Bought from a Sainsbury megastore in London, IIRC £1.35.

275 mL green bottle from a six-pack purchased at The Beer Store; best by Nov 2018 and served well chilled. Listed at 5.2%, consumed last week and reviewed from notes.

Pours clear pale gold in colour, with one finger of foamy white head quickly losing cohesion. Within ninety seconds, only a soapy collar remains - no cap to speak of, nor any lacing. Looks mediocre to me, but what was I expecting? Well... I suppose I was expecting the smell of skunk, which this one delivers in spades - but I'm also getting notes of cereal grain sweetness, corn husk, straw and weedy hops.

It tastes fine for what it is. Corny cereal grain grittiness and pale barley malt sweetness are the main features, interrupted only towards the back end by weedy, grassy hay hop notes. Light in body, but not thin, with lively carbonation levels that prickle and bite at the surface of the palate, apropos for the style. Pretty bland, but highly drinkable, which is about what I'd expect from a Caribbean macro lager.

Final Grade: 2.94, a C grade. Stag Lager is nothing to write home about, but I figure it'd still be a serviceable and refreshing selection at a beach resort in the Caribbean. Of course, if you're stuck at one of those, there probably isn't a wide range of beers to pick from in the first place, which makes it a 'take it or leave it' proposition. I'd take it, I guess, but I have a feeling I'd get sick of drinking these after a day or two. On the beach is one thing, but I see no sense in paying import prices for such a mediocre product - tick this one if you must, but don't expect much.

 

 

 

Deep straw (3) pour with white head; decent cap retention; excellent clarity; no real lace; lite cornbread nose. Light, semi sweet corny taste. Thin watery feel; moderate carbonation. Ok for an island lager.
