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 Tesco - Last of the three varieties I bought, thought I’d get it out of the way. Glad I did, sweet lemonade with dash of lime taste, pale yellow body, no head, not really beer. Nothing going for it. Glad it’s over.

Bottle enjoyed on Pigeon Point beach, Tobago. Deep brown colour beer with a small off white head. Sweet malt aroma with a touch of hops, brown sugar, and dried fruit. Light-medium body, low carbonation. Compares very favourably to most other Caribbean beers. Best looking bottle too.

Bottle whilst on holiday in Tobago. Pale yellow colour lager with a small white head. Refreshing and crisp drunk cold in the sunshine, but little substance to it. Mild aroma of corn, fairly high in carbonation, very light body.

330ml bottle from Tesco - Starting off, it is red. Look at the picture, didn’t expect anything more. Close your eyes and the aroma is like a piece of Big Red gum, spicy cinnamon and artificial fruitiness. The taste is almost medicinal, again like a Big Red but not so burning, and a lot sweeter too. As far as beer goes, this is awful. Rate it as a soft drink... and it’s awful. Not for me.
