330ml bottle at the Bob Marley Museum, Kingston, Jamaica. Cardboard yeast in the aroma, with a smooth, somewhat light, cardboard, malt, bready, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation. Awesome bottle!

Bottle at the cafe of the Bob Marley museum in Kingston, Jamaica. Straight from the bottle, but what a lovely bottle it is! Beautiful detailing of a lion’s head in the glass. Oxidized sadly. Malty, a bit cardboardy. Light sweet and bitter. Light bodied with light carbonation. The bottle is awesome, but I’d certainly rather drink a Red Stripe.

Really weird bottle for 3$ at vintage estate. Pour is virtually clear pale, ever so slight haze, with a white head. Slight odd skunky nose and a tad sweet mild puke perception on the olfactory, not pleasant. Mild initial flavor of some hard water I've tasted from local country wells around here. Noticeable lack of carbonation, very soft, could certainly use more for this type of beer. In the middle, I'm getting used to the flavor of this pale lager. It's kinda growing on me. It's a little different initial flavor compared to most USA pale lagers fer sher. But now, near the finish, I'm getting used to its slight metallic attribute. I'll give the overall an extra point for the presentation effort in the bottle shape, hehehehh. Drank the second one, right out of the bottle, what fun!

330ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - cheers Graham!]. Minimally cloudy, orange, golden colour with small, frothy, fading, white head. Minimally bready, grainy, pale malty and minimally doughy aroma, hints of white bread crust, a weak touch of brioche. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally bready and grainy, pale malty, mildly bitter, minimally grassy hoppy, hints of white bread crust.
Minimally oily, watery texture, rather indifferent palate, medium, prickly carbonation.
A tad too sweet, rather monotonous, but fairly refreshing, clean and drinkable - acceptable.
