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.

Fles gekregen van Roelzie1986. Het is een helder geel bier met een dunne schuimkraag. Het heeft een zoete kokosachtige geur. De smaak is zoet, kokos en vanille achtig.

Thanks to Kraddel! 275 ml. bottle split by two @ train to Kerstbierfestival 2017. Black mocha head. Nose is vegetable roots, hint varnish. Taste is malt syrup with bit odd vegetable roots bitterness, almost roast. Body is malt syrup & roots. Bit odd but far better than I would expect for the Caribbean, we actually drank this one. Also I discovered that I had been placing Trinidad & Tobago shamefully wrong on the map.

Pours black, small, medium unstavle , creamy, rather white head. Smell is mild malty., roasty. Taste is sharp, rather bitter, bit herbal notes, bit boozy, mild sweetness, dark fruit. Medium thick mf, rather low carbo. Very interesting, bit weird with the herbal note it has, but certainly not bad.

Bottle thanks to wombat23. Pours rather yellow and clear. The white head fizzes quickly away. Aroma is sweet malt, unnaturally sweet , syrupy, corny, skunky. Taste is sweet, but ladened with cardboard. Palate rapidly flattens after a busy start and the brew takes on a limp, listless character. Overall pretty bad.

330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Nov 17. Pours bright pink, thin pinkish head. Without reading the label I expected a cherry-like fruit character, but aroma is surprisingly spicy with some ginger, aniseed.. continues to taste. Light body. First Sorrel beer, and don't anticipate another on the horizon soon. Not actually that bad I guess.

Bottle from Tesco. Alarming colour: an almost fluorescent puce/pink. Lots of carbonation. Artificial bubblegum aroma. Sweet, sweet, and sweet, but there's a cough syrup spiciness from the artificial sorrel flavour. It's normally a flavour I like, but this is pretty terrible and nothing like a beer. It's at least kind of refreshing.
