A small originally looking bottle found in Stockholm (Sweden). Goes pale yellowish coulour with weak soft foam fading rapidly with few lacing strips left on the glass. I've felt smooth hoppy aroma, with some corny hints - would be good if expressed more clearly. Kind of watery in a mouth with some oily feeling and acidic ticks. Flavour is rather faded and unexpressed, has weak malty taste with some vague hoppy feeling, a little flowery expression can be also felt. But still has kind of pure and light freshness that makes it drinkable (but only perfectly cooled). Nice try, but no reason for a second one.

Pours wan straw yellow with an eggshell head that doesn’t stick around. Aroma offers typical crisp lager malt. Flavor is hardly there but tolerable. Mouthfeel presents wimpy body and fizz. Well, had to try it.

This is just a good average yellow beer. A ice cold one at the beach hits the nail on the head. Not a beer to savor by letting it warm up. Can't say much exciting about it but good enough to drink again.

I see most call this mistakenly a 12 oz beer. Extremely light yellow color, appearance is it's nicest attribute. Good carbonation, thin top,thin tasting, and smell of heineken. No bad after taste,could be a nice hot weather thirst quencher .

From bottle and very, very cold. So color and taste were both hidden. Appears to be a lighter regular pilsener for thurst quicing in summer. (Houston 201201)

The 2 best things this beer has going for it are the commercials and the stubby bottle. The bottle is really the only thing separating it from every other crappy macro lager. I bet it would taste much better in Jamaica though (just like a Corona tastes better on a Mexican beach).

I like the old school type stubby bottle (smaller actually). Did not get a decent size head from this one. Pretty much evaporated a minute later. Good lacing and average carbonation. Light golden appearance. Lots of grainy type aromas , wheats, barely noticeable malts. Ok mouthfeel. Flavours are pretty much same as aromas, grains/wheats, hops seem distant, a bit of sweetness on the palate. Just another average beer, still good enough for a repeat.

Pours a light golden color. Smell is mild, some grains. Taste is also light and mild, easy drinking on this hot afternoon but otherwise nothing special.

Decent aroma, has virtually no head, a little light on carbonation, easy to drink in warm weather or when laying on a beach. This beer works well with"hot" foods as it's light and doesn't fill you up.

Here is best way to describe it; Take a can of Beer30 and cut it 50/50 with water dredged from a river in Haiti, let it sit for a year, and then strain it through a skunk pelt. And VOILA! You have Red Stripe! Nasty, definite drain pour.

Very clear golden straw color. Very white head on top that didn't stick around too long. Several small bubbles coming up from the bottom. Not leaving a lot of lacing. It is amazingly clear however. The smell had some grain. Not getting any hops really. Clean smell. Nothing offensive. Not getting a whole lot of anything really. Maybe only the faintest hint of biscuit or dough in the nose. The taste again had a bit of grain. Nothing offensive, but....... The mouthfeel was thin, crisp, dry and smooth. Haven't had this beer for about 2 yrs. Not as good as I remember. I can drink it, but definitely nothing special. I would, however, choose this over most macro beers.
