This beer is lighter and paler in colour than its normal counterpart, but the smell and taste were very similar. Obviously a good thing if you want a less filling, still flavourful beer. I had this on tap a couple times in Jamaica, but have not ever seen it here in America. Worth a try if you can find it...but otherwise, definately try some when you are relaxing in the sun in Jamaica!

This is a typical lager beer that is no more special than just about every other. The colour is straight golden with no highlights or differentiation. The smell is very mild and the taste is smooth but not much flavour. A decent beer you can find at many places...but seems to be a bit more relaxing when you are sipping these from the tap in a resort in Jamaica. I still have never had this beer from the bottle, but only from the tap at numerous occasions in Jamaica. Try this if you (for some reason) LIKE the standard lager taste, and have had Carlsberg, Heneiken, etc. But, if you are on a vacation in Jamaica, definately try this beer on tap!

Not a bad beer, not heavy at all. A sweet aftertaste is the best part of this beer. My favorite thing about this beer is the shape of the bottle. If your in a bar and this is the only foreign beer than its better than any bud, coors or corona.

A yellow beer with no head. Slightly sour aroma - probably from the corn used for the brewing but also slightly malty. The flavor is dominated by the corn sourness combined with a slight sweetness and a slight bitterness. There is absolutely no aftertaste. One of the most boring beers I've ever had.

I detest this beer, my friend and I kept passing the glass to try and make the other finish it. Typical crap lager if you ask me. Pale yellow, too carbonated, bland, fizzy taste, stale hops, sour bite to it. rather have a heineken and i dont like heineken either.

pours fizzy with a light yellow quickly disappearing head. Appearance is brown. Tastes very sweet at first, but then evens out and provides a more complex malt. Great banana and clove notes. I dont know why but i love this beer. Actually i do know why. it dosent run out. it stays full bodied to the last drop, and is not watery. the carbonation is a problem, and it is too sweet to be considered an Amazing beer, but very good, very drinkable.

Not much flavour here. Carbonated mineral water with some malts and hops added. Probably an OK beach beer in the Jamaica heat, brewing it in Europe seems like a bad joke. Cute bottle.
