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.

10/12/2025. Can courtesy of Diamonds International, Heritage Quay, St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda. Pale golden pour. Sweet, malty, buttery, bready, caramel, citrusy aroma. Fairly sweet, moderate bitterness and body. Average carbonation. Smoother and nicer than the SK brewed version tried before this. Original review: 4.9. Drank bottled in Tobago 2012. Pour a clear pale gold colour with an average white head. Aroma is grainy with notes of grass. Light bodied with a typical lager carbonation. It is what it is and does the job in Caribbean sunshine.

Bottle pours rich black with thin tan head that quickly reduces to lace. Silky/slightly watery mouthfeel. An aroma of chocolate delivers on its promise with mild chocolate flavors and hints of anise that do not linger through the finish. Well balanced, enjoyable.

Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, biscotto, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso, erbaceo e agrumi.
