Description
This is how it all began; this is the heart of our history. Sir Gerald Wight, founder of the Caribbean Development Company (CDC), ensured that the production process, which was based on the European-Continental method of brewing with our own twist, was mastered before the company’s flagship beverage, Carib Lager Beer was sold in 1950. In fact CDC still produces the perfect lager today because our formula continues to include the best ingredients, unwavering quality and constant innovation.

Today Carib Brewery boasts a portfolio that includes Beer, Malt, Stout and Soft Drinks. We produce Carib, Carib Light, Stag, Pola and Pola Light, Shandy Carib, Mackeson and Guinness as well as the following nonalcoholic brands; Ginseng-Up, Malta Carib, Malta Carib Ultra, Smalta Smalta Smiles – over 1,200,000 hectoliters of product every year.

Our acute insight into what our consumers enjoy has also inspired us to form partnerships with international companies such as Heineken International B.V., Diageo and Ginseng Up Corporation. As a result Heineken, Guinness Stout, Ginseng Up and Smirnoff Ice are also part of our portfolio.

330ml bottle from Asda BBE Sep/20. Pours pale gold white head which leaves lacing. Aroma of malt, grain and sugar. Moderate carbonation which dissipates to low if drank from a glass, its better on the palate straight from the bottle. Light body but not overly so for a pale lager, a little sweet and then a peppery dryness with minor bitterness which is interesting. Taste is cereal, sugar, light malts, a little citrus but all very mild. Decent drinkable lager with a reasonable finish just needs more flavour.

Many thanks for this rare Trinidad beer to Jacek & Marek. green 275ml bottle. Piana srednia malo trwala, o jasnej slomkowej barwie typowym aromatem euro lagera, w smaku nie az tak meczace, chyba nieco lepsze od popularniejszego Cariba. Ale pod Karaibskim sloncem musi pewnie byc mega super smaczne.

Bottle ordered online from ASDA, drunk at home. Lockdown is still pretty much on, but raters gotta rate. Ergo, this. Very light yellow, clear, with a small ring of white head. Smell is floral, skunky, bitter herbs, dried grass. Overall, not bad. Tastes watery, with sweet rice, corn syrup, slight peppery note. Long sweet finish a slight bitterness at the very end with 80s diet soda notes in the aftertaste. It isn't terrible, but it's very cheaply made. I'm unlikely to have this again.

Pours with very good dark beige foam and a very dark brown body. Smell is all tin and barley. Flavour is soft sweet chocolate, vague barley hints. Mouthfeel is a little cloying. An unspectacular macro lager, but drinkable if there's nothing else around. Bottle found in St. Kitts, label says it was brewed at Carib St. Kitts.
