Simple, soft-bodied, flat-headed pale lager in recognizable barrel-like brown bottle put Jamaica on beer map. Gentle barleymalt subtlety creases disturbingly sour lemon-limed backdrop. Grainy dirtiness differs substantially from most agave/ tequila-minded mass marketed Caribbean brews, putting it closer to a mustier, less cloying Budweiser.

Lean light-bodied pale-hued caramel-malted lager with crisp hop bite, sharp carbolic fizz, and sour citric undertones decorating faint burgundy finish. Though toasted grain finish is fleeting, Singha’s still more assertive than most Asian pilsner-lagers.

Pungent sourdough yeast-wafted, puffy white-headed, clear-bellied, medium-bodied lager maintains fizzy salted-hop bitterness to desolate watered down creamed corn finish. Mild pale malt sweetness belies stiffly astringent sour malt profundity.

Pale complexion, soft white head, and watery texture bring light-bodied appeal to sedate German lager. Sourdough aromatics and honeyed malts counter bitter hop spicing. Aimed at novices looking for German version of Coors Light.

Stale-breaded corn-soured billowy-headed moderation was one of the first imports offered to American market during early ’70s. Burnt coffee dryness and ripe grape undertones disappear too far in front of disturbing grassy-hopped vegetal finish for any maintained dignity.

Clear golden-hued white-headed green-bottled lager lacks distinction despite boasting influence of ten international brewmasters’ strange affinity towards exploiting Heineken-Beck’s sour malted grain sharpness. Sunny hop briskness and bread-y yeast pungency remain steadfast, but fizzy seltzer flow whimpers to mild bitter finish.

Innocuous clear golden light body maintains unspecific citric whiff to match fizzy lemony sugar zip. Dull bread-y bottom drops out.

Skanky malt sourness, dismal hop bottom, and steely metallic tinge ruin slightly salted fizzy frontage and vague corn nuance of trashy macrobrew.

Palest yellow whitest-headed golden lager rightfully popularized by topless models hidden beneath peel off label rather than boring liquid inside. Faded peach-grapefruit dryness layers bland white bread base of negligible session beer. Brewery defunct: 2009.

Blending agave, citrus, and undefined spices, clear-bottled lime-scented malt-lacquered brew gets disturbingly cloy after ill-advised sour-candied fruit tartness goes south. Only better than Zima, if that’s progress. The beer equivalent of a lame wine cooler.

Apparently Bacardi (the rum co.) brought this Cuban recipe (pronounced ah-tway) to America for the masses. Orange-yellow hue, caramel-malt aroma, and creamy up-front sweetness settle into syrupy 5.5% alcohol fueled dud. Much too processed for serious consumption, but in line with sweet barley-based Caribbean’s such as Red Stripe and Carib Pilsner.

Translucent ivory-yellowed ‘premium pilsner’ brings tart lemon spritz, unleavened bread musk, and grassy hop pitch to spotty dry maize finish redolent of Corona with lime slice. Just a hair less inspired than Kaiser’s mediocre A Marca Bavaria.
