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.

Can in a trade with tfontana. Thanks Tom. Crystal clear gold. Aroma is light toasted grain, corn husks. Flavor has a touch more malt sweetness then the standard pale lager. Not overly sweet yet... as I drink all I taste is corn. Not good.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Total Wine & More, Burlington. Appearance is lightly hazy, pale golden yellow with trace sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with poor retention and trace lacing. Aroma is mildly roasted malts, bordering on chocolate but not quite. Taste is biscuity malts with mild fruity bent and hint of cardboard. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin, smooth texture, soft carbonation and exclusively malty finish. Overall, many third world pale lagers are all the same but this rises slightly above with a malty character that is a bit more rich. When in Trinidad and Tobago, do as the Trinidad and Tobagans do!

9.67 oz. bottle purchased in St. Kitts. Pours a clear pale gold color with a white head and decent retention. Decent lacing too. Strong skunk aroma. Light grainy Euro lager flavor with a light skunk finish (at least less skunk than the nose). Okay.

9.67 oz. bottle purchased in Barbados. Pours a crystal clear pale gold color with a white head and decent retention. Fair lacing. Pale aroma. Lightly crisp mouthfeel. Soft Euro pale malts flavor. Light body. No Euro skunk taste. Not bad at all but very generic and forgettable.

9.67 oz. bottle purchased in St. Kitts. Pours a very light pale gold color with a small white head and fair retention. Spots of lacing. Light grain aroma. Crisp, carbonated mouthfeel. LIGHT is the key word here. Super light and watery lager flavor. At least there's no skunk flavor. It tastes decent, but there's just not enough beer flavor overall.

Bottle from Tesco. Pale gold in colour, with a thin, white, head and slight carbonation. Aroma ohad an artificial floral edge with some over ripe sweet corn character. Flavour had more sweet, flabby, malts before a short, bitter, finish. A crude lager.
