4/1/2017. Bottle from a stall close to the cruise port in Curaçao. Pours pale gold with a frothy white head, and is visibly well carbonated. Very light straw and malty aroma. Quite heavy sweetness, light bitterness. Light body, some oiliness to texture.

"The beer is golden in colour with less than normal carbonation. It tastes clean and crisp with a nice balance between bitterness and sweetness. The finish is short and on the sweet side. Kind of weird to sit here in 4°C and enjoy the beer and think back on the two lovely days I spent at Barbados in November last year." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com
