Old notes from Nov 2014 - Two small bottles kindly brought back from St Lucia by a mate, poured into a CAMARA pint glass. Pours a pale yellow colour with next to no head. Quite slim on the aromas, what I can smell is of malt & corn I think. Tastes of sweet lemon & malt, but no hops. Having tasted a few beers from the Caribbean now I wasn't expecting much from this beer, it's proved to be very average.

No Untappd friend has checked this in Saint Lucia. Great result for Tottenham at the Etihad. 3-3 draw. Brilliant game.

Light yellow color. Aroma and taste of a European style lager due to the similar hop flavor.

Aroma and taste: old malt, grain, corn, sulphur, grass. Light to medium sweet, low to light bitterness. Mouth feel: Medium minus body, soft to average carbonation. Summary: Moderately poor.

275ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Dec 22. Misty gold appearance. Not great, tastes a bit old and lightstruck with further cardboard notes but there we go it's a St Lucia tick. Rated kindly as past BBD.

"The beer is clear golden in colour with a thin foam head when poured in the glass. Smells very sweet and has a malty start to the taste before the aftertaste is more sweet again. I could easily drink a lot of these when served cold under a palm tree in the Caribbean, but when served cold on a cold November evening in Norway it is enough with just the one." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com
