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.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, pilsener golden with a creamy, white head leaving some lacework. Lovely, fresh hop aroma. Medium body with sweet accents of malt and corn. Short, dry finish with a subdued bitterness. For a Pale Lager this really ain’t too bad, and under the Caribbean sun this probably will be a quenching delight. 270207

Bottle (bought in Nassau, Bahamas). Great coffee bean and dark chocolate malt. Dark brown-black color with thin film of a head. Sweet syrup malt flavor - slightly cloying - with light coffee aftertaste. If the flavor had been more like the aroma, would have like it a lot better. Apparently doesn’t age well looking at the other ratings.

bottle - Pours clear yellow and fizzy with a white head. It smells of malt and grain. Thin and with almost no hops, this is a typical mostly flavorless pale lager. It’s not offensive and is somewhat refreshing. It’s just not worth buying.

Oh wow. Skunky, a new low for me. Remidns me of a roadkilled skunk mixed with ashtray ash. The smell when I first cracked into this was almost enough to make me pour this down the train.

Pours clear yellow-golden with a thin white head that dissipates rapidly. Nil lacing. Slightly skunked aroma with mild hops. Light-bodied with a bland hoppy flavor, along with a touch of stale malt. Some skunkiness here as well. The finish is bubbly and mildly bitter. I wouldn’t drink this again, and would rather have a Margarita on the beach than this.

Bottled. Pale golden with hints of white head. Malty aroma with some citric fruitiness and corn. Almost lime-like flavor, maltiness too. Thin bodied beer that should stay at the beach. Rating: 3-2-3-2-6-1.6. 060430
Bottle. A clear, pale golden beer with a minimal white head. Strange honeyish, ciderish, flowery aroma that isn’t all bad. Soapy hops too. It’s thin on the palate, nicely carbonated and drinks quite easy. Sweet flavor with some bitterness towards the end. Soapy, honeyish and flowery too. Well, I’m glad I’m not depending on drinking this for the rest of my life. 110708

Bottle. Pale straw color with a white head. Grassy adjunct aroma. Sweet flavor. Not completely bad, but definately a pale lager/lawnmower beer.
