The beer of Haiti brewed in Holland pours and uber light clear gold with a white head. Aroma is an ok Euro grain malt. Flavor is almost pure water. A slight sweet grain malt with no hops present. This was in Bud Light territory. A country tick and cool stubby bottle is about it.

Bottle at the Airbnb in Marigot, country #67. I keep buying these shitty macros for new country ticks yet I’m convincex that I don’t have a fixation with the stats. Oh well.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers. Aroma of malts, grains and grass. Taste is a bit sweet, cardboardy, little watery and thin. Slightly bitter finish.
What’s up Haiti! Ordering some goat, drinking some delicious beer. I love it.

Bottle, shared by Cunningham/ChrisOfstad. It's a clear golden colored beer with a white head. The aroma is quite fruity, with a bready maltyness in the back. Some grass and hay. It's medium bodied and decently carbonated, semi sweet, with a gentle bitterness. Pale malts, bread and grass in the flavor, with some fruityness. Medium length finish. Dull and uninteresting. 240728

Stubby bottle, I like these bottles. Pride of haiti, eh? But brewed in holland? How odd, I need to know more about this relationship. Pop the lid for an ever so slight skunk smell. First taste is a little skunky too, backed with this odd medium sharp bitterness in the background. Says october '24 on the label, so it can't be that old. It actually tastes like one of those euro beers in a green bottle that aged in the sun for a few months; been there done that. Any-who, it is a macro style lager and the flavor certainly falls into that category. Its just that I know of many macro pales I can buy around here for 40 cents a can that are much smoother in presentation compared to this brew I bot at total wine for 3$. Yea in the end, that skunky thang tends to stick to the back of yer throat in a certain unpleasant way. s 4 l 2 f 2 t 4 o 9

Aromatique typique des lagers commerciales avec des malts bien céréaliers et de subtils houblons épicés. Dorée, bien limpide et effervescente, elle se couvre d’une mousse moyennement épaisse et assez tenace. En bouche, les céréales sont bien représentées et nous offrent un subtil miellé / sucré avec de légers esters. La fin de bouche est plutôt maltée et sucrée avec une présence de houblons peu notable et une amertume très faible. Le corps est plus rondelet que la moyenne de ses consœurs de sa catégorie. La carbonatation est un peu basse pour le style mais ça permet de plus apprécier les saveurs. Une lager commerciale avec plus de goût que la majorité des bières de ce style. Mais, ça reste une lager commerciale tout de même. O:7.53 V:3.63 G:5.63 C:3.5 G:11.19 T:31.48
