Tastes like paper with some skunk. Luckily I didn’t have to drink much of this at the tasting as Travlr, who provided the beer in the first place, stole my glass partway through. Cheers to you sir!

Bottle (courtesy of my brother and his lovely wife - hopefully they continue taking cruises). Tinny barley malt aroma. Medium yellow with small head. Lightly sweet lemon, barley malt and hay flavor. Not a bad pale lager.

Bought a couple of bottles of this during a day on St. Lucia, part of a Caribbean Cruise. This was the worst beer I tried on the 11 different islands I visited. Clear gold in colour, with a rather nasty aroma and a rough aftertaste. Only finished them due to the coldness of the beer in the heat of the sun.

Sharp golden yellow with a foamy white head. Nose is bready and grassy with lightly spicy hop character. Flavor is very similar, light malty sweetness and not too offensive.
