The standard lager from this offshore financial paradise in the Caribbean, produced since 2007 in allegedly stark competition with Heineken, which is the most popular beer of the islands (not a very promising thought, clearly). Thanks to tderoeck for the sample. Seems to produce a thin snow white head when fresh - but this sample had no more head at all; very pale brass-coloured robe rather than gold, with rosy tinge. Aroma of dried southernwood (oddly), old tarragon, spiced crackers, iron, rubber, breakfast cereals. Sweetish, almost pear-like onset, apple peel touch (probably just oxidation); slightly sourish graininess with a vague chalky accent, very thin cereally middle ending with something herbal, a bit wry, but certainly not from hops, rather something chemical. Industrial, soulless, downright unpleasant - I think the Cayman Island residents should stick with Heineken, if they cannot afford anything better...

Wässrig getreidiger Beginn. Trocken, etwas herb, wenig würzig, kein Nachhall. Meh. 8/5/6/5/8/5

19/XII/25 - sample from a 33cl bottle, shared @ Tim’s Big Country Tick Tasting And More (home), BB: n/a (2025-1402) Thanks to Grzegorz for the trade!

Clear gold yellow beer, practically no head. Aroma: malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, pretty oxidized, some cardboard. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: malty, hay, grains, cow fodder, cardboard, very oxidized, meh. Aftertaste: more of the same, oh well, a country tick is a country tick!
