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.

Medium white fine-laced head. Clear yellow body. Watery chemical-flour aroma with acidic traces. Light chemical apple and very light malt taste with traces of butter. Dry, faintly grassy aftertaste. Taste is better than the aroma. (0.275 bottle.)

Can’t find any ounces listed on this clear bottle. Am surprised it is not a twist off cap! Initial sharp veggie cabbage aroma, then mellows to a simple clean smell in the glass. There are some very slight remnants of skunk remaining. Even that fades to a stronger ale olfactory. Good creamy carbonation. Has an odd industrial bitterness that is familiar with pilsner but not hops or roasted malt. Mine says puerto rico on the bottom back label. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager color and head. Can have a coarse personality at times. Not as good as old german or more recently Sol. I assumed this would be a little more fruity or mild considering the name.

27.5 cL bottle. Pours red with a pink crispy head (!). Aroma of cinnamon and in general spiced and sweet. Flavour is sweet fruity, with a candy note before the finish. Sorry no, I don’t get this one, it is cloyingly sweet and artificial in looks, taste and content. Thinking of it as a soda doesn’t help :(

Not bad for a pale lager, considering some of the other options. But in this price range, go for something else.

CBF07 sample from 33 cL bottle. Pours golden clear yellow with a litle lacing. Aroma is sweet and light malty and tart bitter. Flavour is the same in a short blend. Finish is soft malty without being too sweet. Refreshing!

Bottled. Pale yellow colour, minor white head. Aroma is hayish hops. Maize and hay in the flavour. Not necessarily so unclean, but just plain boring.
