Small bottle drank at 10:30 in the morning of 6th March 2014 outside a little shack bar just north of Rodney Bay. I wasn’t going to have a beer, but at 2% ABV I figured it didn’t count as a real drink. Very shandy like in nature, half beer, half lemonade, which is most likely what it actually is. Refreshing enough but not really my thing, plenty of lemon flavours if that floats your boat. Gives me a second tick from the brewery I suppose, otherwise it was a complete waste of money.

Bottle: Poured a golden with thin white head. Aroma was a little slinky cardboard. Taste was mild to sour grain, very thin and wet. Smooth finish.

Bottle kindly shared by MisoW, many thanks. Pale golden with small white head. Cooked vegetable, corn in aroma. Taste, almost the same. Bad, but new country tick. Country #97.

Bottle. Aroma metallic and soapy. Clear yellow colour. Taste lightly astringent, otherwise neutral, balanced metallic and syrupy. Not good. Not good at all.

Bought a couple of bottles of this during a day on St. Lucia, part of a Caribbean Cruise. This was the worst beer I tried on the 11 different islands I visited. Clear gold in colour, with a rather nasty aroma and a rough aftertaste. Only finished them due to the coldness of the beer in the heat of the sun.

11/4/2013. Bottle found in a supermarket in Barbados whilst staying on the island for a week after a cruise. Barbados import, made in St.Lucia. Much the same as the Dutch version, though a touch more genuinely Caribbean and better for it.

Sharp golden yellow with a foamy white head. Nose is bready and grassy with lightly spicy hop character. Flavor is very similar, light malty sweetness and not too offensive.

25 cl. bottle shared / thx to Tderoeck – absolutely clear, light golden / apple juice, not much in the way of head, smells sweet (corn syrup mainly) & skunky, taste is plenty of sweet corn, sugar, synthetic grains, skunky, nasty fake hop finish, nasty grains, watery body

25cl bottle, thanks Tderoeck for the share. Dorée claire, col blanc. Arôme de grains, malt pâle et un houblon minimaliste. En bouche, malt, palais pétillant, fini sec sur un fini rappelant un peu la pomme, le tout reste très faiblard avec juste le minimum de malt et houblon. Pas mauvaise mais rien de surprennent, mais on peut s’imaginer l’effet désaltérant de cette bière sous le soleil des caraïbes.
