So, to help fill my country list, i get a bottle of this hay smelling beer form my boss! THANKS DAVE! Clear pale yellow. Taste is the same, just a very mild hay like sensation all over my palate. laid back and friendly, not bad! Civilized and enjoyable. Seems much less than the 5% listed here. No real hops here, just simple good fresh lager. Deep golden color? That is a farce. A better cheap pale lager fer sure.

22cl bottle brought back from Aruba to the UK by a friend. Clear golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is grainy, light malt, bit of corn maybe, light hops, thankfully not skunked at all. Taste is the same as any typical macro lager, grainy, light sweet malt, corn, hint of fruit, almost no bitterness. Thin body, oily texture, medium carbonation. Yeah for a Caribbean lager it’s not bad actually, I’m sure it tastes even better on a hot sunny day sitting beach in Aruba.

Many thanks to kevnic2008 for sharing. Golden colour with a grainy-malty nose. The beer starts neutral-grainy, malty-sweetish and a bit more intense than the "Balashi Chill". Malty-grain is dominating the quite watery picture with hints of a malty sweetness. Easy drinkable and very refreshing. Nearly no bitterness in the end. Nice for what it wants to be.

Many thanks to kevnic2008 for sharing. Grainy nose and pale colour in the glass. The beer starts neutral with hints of a sweetish sourness. Grain, refreshing with a malty sweetness, that remains until the slightly grainy finish. No bitterness there. Smooth and sweetish-neutral aftertaste.
