Bottle: Pours clear, light gold with a short white head. Sour grain malt aroma. Taste is lemon, grain malt, corn. Plain, but decent for a lager from that region.

Straw blond colour. A plain tasting beer but it’s quite fresh, and clean. Just a thirst quencher, nothing more.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. First lager I’ve had that is seriously grainy smelling, like sticking your head in a sack of malt. Pale gold, no head, thin stream of bubbles. Corn comes through on the taste. Slightly soapy bitterness. Watery and not very good.

Nose is light, coffee, a little cola. Taste is vanilla, hazelnut, figs, slight lactose, sticky sweet slightly vinious finish. As it warmed it got a strong coffee liqueur taste. Mouthfeel far too thin for the style, perhaps suited to warmer climes. A thin stout.

275ml bottle, cheers Tesco! Pours very dark brown with a small head. Aroma is sweet roast and a little liquorice. Taste has sweet roast. A touch of beef. Simple and easy drinking.

Drunk in copious amounts on two previous trips to Barbados, but this rating based upon a bottle bought at Tesco. Pours out a light golden colour, with a smallish white head. Malt aroma, quite sugary sweet. Average carbonation and body for a pale lager. This stands up well compared to others similar.

Golden lager, no head. Has an agreeable enough nose, but is seriously lacking in flavour.
