The standard lager from this offshore financial paradise in the Caribbean, produced since 2007 in allegedly stark competition with Heineken, which is the most popular beer of the islands (not a very promising thought, clearly). Thanks to tderoeck for the sample. Seems to produce a thin snow white head when fresh - but this sample had no more head at all; very pale brass-coloured robe rather than gold, with rosy tinge. Aroma of dried southernwood (oddly), old tarragon, spiced crackers, iron, rubber, breakfast cereals. Sweetish, almost pear-like onset, apple peel touch (probably just oxidation); slightly sourish graininess with a vague chalky accent, very thin cereally middle ending with something herbal, a bit wry, but certainly not from hops, rather something chemical. Industrial, soulless, downright unpleasant - I think the Cayman Island residents should stick with Heineken, if they cannot afford anything better...

Sampled at Tim's place, huge thanks! Clear pale golden color, no head. Aroma is malts, hay, grains, rice. Flavor is similar, with a decent bitterness finish. Actually not that bad.

New Country (195) Piwo ma sporo gazu, musujace niczym szampan, w smaku cos jak klasyczny holenderski heineken czy dunski carlsberg, bardzo zblizone. Niewielka slodowosc, nuta chmielna odczuwalna o dziwo. ale grunt nowy kraj dochodzi

Old rating - A 330ml bottle, gift from a friend who visited the Cayman Islands. It pours a very orange looking colour with white head, tastes of malt & grain. The weakest of the 4 beers I've tried from this brewery. Different bottle of beer in my home No. 1938
