Red Stripe Light is D&G’s alternative to the original. It has a smoother taste, and besides having a lower alcohol content, it is also ’less’ of a beer as it comes in 10.5 oz. bottles.

275ml bottle from John Crows Tavern, Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Clear light golden colour with plenty of bubbles. The aroma is cardboard, bready. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a crisp, light, watery, cardboard, light hop bitter palate. Light bodied with average carbonation.

After 11 days of the same beer (Red Stripe), finally found something different at the airport - the Light version! Very pale gold with a chill haze, a bubbly white head and a cereal aroma. Relatively fizzy with a soft sweetish lemony vibe on top of the cereal malt, very light with a little kick ahead of a moderately dry finish.

Bottle. This beer is awful. Yellow color. Some head that goes away quickly. Not much aroma. Tastes like hay.

Bottle thanks to Elon pours out crisp clean straw topped with a white head. Nose is a touch of grain and some grass. Taste is more of the light grain grass.

Sample, thanks to Grumbo. Hazy pale gold with a worrying amount of sediment floating around. Sweet malty fruity aroma, taste is fizzy, fruity, some pineapple hints.. bit of an odd one.

2/10/2021. Bottle received via Poland courtesy of Marek. Pours clear pale golden with a frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, fruity, malt, grain, slight veggie edge. Medium plus sweetness, light bitterness. Light body, average carbonation. Not bad, probably better in Caribbean sunshine than on a rainy day in England.

Yellow color with minimal foam. Light taste with crispness and a slightly dry finish. Similar to the regular Red Stripe.

Certainly lives up to it's high rating. Some off taste of fakish malt with plenty of water. Pours clear yellow. Slightly off aftertaste. Cloying.
