Bottle from Rams Supermarket, Bay Road at my hotel in Basseterre. Aroma of dark chocolate, roast, light coffee and vanilla. Definitely has more bitterness to this one.

Bottle at my hotel bar in Basseterre. Straight from the bottle as is always the way here so no idea what it looks like. Aroma is cocoa powder, fudge, milk chocolate. Pretty sweet but pleasant enough.

Bottle in that slightly dodgy drinking area by the bus terminal in Basseterre, St Kitts. One thing I like about this area is there’s chickens wandering around everywhere. Like pidgeons where I’m from. They’re literally just running around everywhere. Anyway, I wasn’t even going to bother ticking this but everyone around is so why not. Trouble is it kinda smells like piss around here but that’s not the beer’s fault. The beer is shite though. You’re better off with a Carib.

Rated from a bottle on my hotel balcony bar though tried a couple of times before around here in Basseterre, St Kitts. Smell wise it’s certainly nothing to write home about, but taste wise it’s ok, I’ve had way worse in my travels. High praise? Yeah probably. If you’ve just ticked one that was bought to your home country then you’d likely think it shite. The blue light in the photo makes everything look worse than it was. It’s actually quite a nice spot.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Clear pale golden colour, big foamy white head that quickly dissipates away and aroma of apple, pear, skin. Taste is sweet, appley & peary, some skin and core, sugary, with alittle tart acidity. Medium bodied, high carbonation, sweet finish. Quite OK.

17/12/2025. Bottle from Rams Supermarket, Bay Road, Basseterre. Enjoyed on Marella Discovery 2 during the sea day voyage en route to Barbados. Good pour. Aroma is roasted, malty, dark chocolate, vanilla custard edge. Strong bitter roasted taste, low sweetness. Medium body, average carbonation. Quite a harsh bitter finish. Nice aroma, but much more roasted bitterness than the Grenada and St. Lucia brewed versions tried today and for me much less enjoyable.

13/12/2025. Bottle from Rams Supermarket, Bay Road, Basseterre. Enjoyed on Marella Discovery 2 during the sea day voyage en route to Bonaire. Pours clear pale gold with a short lasting white head. Aroma is sweet apple and pear. A little sulphur. Taste is sugary sweet with slight tartness. Fizzy. That tart edge redeems it somewhat but it’s not especially enjoyable.
