It’s been too long since you’ve spent time with your favourite people and are in the midst of them all at a get together at your home. You’re pleasantly overwhelmed by the cornucopia of scents and sounds around you. Everyone has walked with their favourite dish and roars of laughter can be heard from across the street. As you clink your bottle of a ginger Shandy Carib ginger with your father’s bottle of sorrel Shandy Carib, you take a moment to relish the memories being made.

The following weekend, deep-blue waves are in front of you, golden sand is sinking beneath your feet and your gaze is fixed upon the horizon. While sipping on a lime Shandy Carib, the crisp sea breeze whispers sweet nothings into your ear. The stress of a hectic week is washed away as the foam of the surf tickles your feet and then playfully retreats. This rejuvenating break is exactly what you needed!

A great lager beer is by itself a treasure but a great beer combined with the zing of ginger, the festive and spicy sweetness of sorrel or the revitalizing kick of lime creates winning and classic combinations. This is what the Carib brewery introduced in 1985 – an instant classic. The authentic taste of this light alcoholic beverage is a consumer favourite because its delightful and unique burst of flavours reconnects consumers with fun and memorable times with family and friends.

From a couple hours ago. Had some good flavor to it. Especially being desperately hungover earlier. Fun excursion to the wildlife and snorkeling. This island is beautiful. 🇧🇧

Before I tried this while in St. Thomas USVI, I knew that in the Caribbean they drank "Shandy's" which were a mix of soda, and a light lager beer. So maybe I wasn't expecting a "beer". Sweet, very soda-like, alcohol undetectable either as flavor or effects of. You couldn't stand drinking enough of this to get a buzz unless you're into drinking 32 oz cream sodas (or ginger ales). But as a Shandy, it's not bad. This beer needs to be in it's own style on rate beer. It's not a lager, that's just an ingredient! Sweet, with ginger flavor, but not what you are used to drinking as Ginger Ale.

Smells of strong sweet ginger, pours soft copper with yellow hints. Flavour is sugary ginger soda. Mouthfeel has cloying sweetness. It's not bad as a soda with maybe a hint of beer in there but I can't detect it.

19/11/2019. Bottle, sample, courtesy of SHIG, cheers Shawn. Pours clear very pale gold with minimal head. Aroma of root ginger and sweet potato. Medium sweet ginger taste, touch of ginger spice heat but not a lot. Light body, slight sticky and watery texture, above average carbonation. Not bad actually.
