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 found in a caribbean shop at Shepheard’s Bush Market, London. Fruity and very sweet beginning. Only artificial lemonade there, nothing more. Very sweet, sticky, artificial... Rather a lemonade than a beer...

275ml bottle found in a caribbean shop at Shepheard’s Bush Market, London. Brewed and bottled at Grenada Breweries Ltd., St. George’s, Grenada. Grainy nose. The beer stars smooth and easy to drink. Typical international lager, but with a nice and full body. Grain, sweetness, but no water. The aftertaste is sweetish-grainy, fresh, only hints of bitterness. Full-bodied, fresh, thirst-quenching!

Bottle @ the 7th Shrewsbury Bottle Share, Aug 14, thanks to Blackhaddock. Pours clear amber with foamy thin head. Sweetcorn aroma. Moderately sweet lager taste, balanced and inoffensive. Actually surprised I didn’t mind this.

Bottle from Granada courtesy of my buddy. 275ml bottle, light straw gold with a foamy white head. Rough grainy sweet light malt aroma a touch sugary. A rough medium body-mouthfeel.  Overall middle of the road but not too bad, rough but drinkable.

Another beer brought back from my brother.
Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a glossed over yellow color with a slight transparency about it allowing some light carbonation to be seen rising. There was a quickly dissipating bubbly white head and barely any lacing.
The aroma smelled almost exactly like the stag lager I had: light cereal/graininess with a light lemon.
The taste was mainly sweet with a fairly clean crisp finish.
On the palate, this one sat exceptionally light and poundable.
Overall, beach beer, I wouldn’t have this where I currently live but if I ever found my way down there, I could see myself drinking this over that stag lager despite it smelling the same.

Reviewed from notes. My brother brought this back from a trip he took down there.
This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a glossed over yellow color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about less than thirty seconds leaving barely any lacing.
The smell had some light toasted cereal/grainy notes with a light lemon trying to come in.
The taste was slightly sweet but it seemed in a slight misleading sort of way because as it warmed, it seemed like it lost flavor and became watery.
On the palate, this one sat pretty light and sessionable. The carbonation was barely there.
Overall, weird beer to me. It was fun to try but probably wouldn’t have it again.

330ml bottle from Asda - Clear amber body, no head, loads of fizz. Nose is lots of ginger sugar, sweet lemonade and old stale beer. Taste is sickly sweet, but with a decent warming finish. I was expecting it to be poor, but hey... it isn’t that bad.

330ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish golden colour with small, frothy, diminishing, barely lacing, white head. Strawy aroma, grainy, a touch of lemon, wet straw. Taste is moderately sweet pale malty, a touch of wet straw, a very cautious touch of lemon. Not as crappy as suspected.
