Red Stripe: 10

Red Stripe is Jamaica's answer to mass produced, pilsner-style American beer. Let's see how it compares.

It pours a very pale golden color with a thick but brittle head. It has a very light "beer" aroma. Maybe a bit of hops. Really, there is little to entice the drinker to pick it up.

It has a very light up front flavor. Moderately bubbly on the tongue. A very mild soapy flavor in the middle. A very light hops at the end. It finishes with a little hops and soap on the tongue. It dissipates relatively quick.

Overall, it's a harmless beer. It has a beer-like flavor that you would find in a mass produced beer. Nothing offensive. No real flavor but nothing bad either. In a blind taste test, I doubt you could tell the difference between this and Coors. So, good job Jamaica for producing a comparable beer of middling quality.
