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.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Aromatic light lager- hardly full bodied! Watery. Mildy refreshing!

Sampled from a 12 oz clear bottle this beer poured a dark golden color with a large fluffy white head that lingered and produced a bit of lacing. The aroma was tangy, sweetish and corny with a touch of lemon. The flavor was tangy, tart and lemony with a sweet corny undertolne and a touch of yeastiness. The finish was medium length tangy and sweet. Medium body. Bland but not unpleasant.

Drank copious amounts of this non-descript lager while relaxing on the sunny beaches of Sint Maarten. It wasn’t great and reminded me of Corona but I won’t complain because it cooled me off and was easy to swig. A hoppy IPA would not have worked in its place.

Bottle from Oak Tree. Pours pale yellow with a foamy 3 finger white head. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is sweetish light malt with a pretty firm amount of grassy hop. Better than a lot of southern lagers. Finishes just a bit sweeter than I’d like, but there’s bitter.

Bottle from Oak Tree. Pours burnished gold with a little white foam. Strong ginger aroma. Flavor is sweet with ginger. A good dose of ginger. Love ginger, but not necessarily this brew. Still, it’s ginger!

This stuff is halarious soda pop. From a clear bottle looks like ginger ale. Smooth delicious soda pop feel with enjoyable CO2 creamy burn. Can’t beleive there is any alky in this stuff. You’d have to drink a sixpack of this to get talky. Yes, very enjoyable, much better than any NA beer fer sure. Reminds me of many fruity soda pop lambics. Soda pop fer sure, never goes flat even to the last drop. Yes interesting mild burning sensation at the finsh.

Bottle from Oak Tree. Pours black with a foamy tan head. Aroma of sweet burnt malt with a cola hint. Medium body; frothy carb. It’s sweet - in a treacle way - with some dark chocolate and some cola. Aroma gets a bit metallic after awhile. Reminds me of some low ABV Scottish stouts. Definitely drinkable.

Ha ha hah! Delicious spicey red little round hot cinny artificial candy, just like that hard stuff with the same color. Sugary aroma, spicey too. One of the weirdest ’beers’ I’ve had for a long time, this is more like a quality artificial fruit drink laced with barely detectable beer hints, if any. Very refreshing yet I worry about the sugar buzz. No bitter finish what so ever, soda pop. 1 point 2 percent, eh? Friendly interesting fizzy fruit drink. Found this fun in a dirty little way.

Bottle. Pours black with off white brown head. Nose of coffee, roasted malts and chocolate. Taste of roasted malts, hops, fish oil and rotted wood. Not pleasant.
