Bottle. Clear pale golden colour with a white longlasting head. Malty and grassy aroma. Weak malty flavor and some hoppiness. Some bitterness in the aftertaste. Thanks to my mom for bringing it home from St Lucia.

In my first rating I said I wouldn’t care if I never drank it again...wtf? That would mean I didn’t care if I never went to St. Lucia. Screw that, I look forward to my next Piton because it will mean I’m back on that awesome island. Golden sparkly colour. The grassy aroma is tasty fresh; with a decent malt backbone. Herbal-malty character. Clean, not bad for a macro. It doesn’t have the staying power of, say, Beer Lao in that after six days in Lucia you get a little tired of it, but it’s inoffensive, fresh and has just enough bitterness to make it the swill of choice there.
