Red Stripe, a great beer brewed originally on the island of Jamaica, now easily recognized on every corner of the world. The stout and simple bottle is “only the best bottle for my beer” as Red Stripe believes this is one Caribbean treasure worth protecting. The Jamaican Lager which may be described as somewhat light, packs a tremendous flavor of sugar cane and molasses. Although the aroma may be slightly lacking, the taste more than compensates. This bold lager offers a unique sort of refreshment which may be easily enjoyed during the dead cold of winter, as well as in the mid day summer heat.

Ever been to Jamaica? 20 below outside? Doesn't matter, Red Stripe is available most anywhere and a few of these will have you feeling as "Eire" as a Kingston local, and have you screaming "Hooray Beer" in no time.

Ah, Red Stripe Lager. This is quite a refreshing brew; great to sip on hot, sunny days. When poured into a glass the fizzy head recedes into a light golden liquid. It has a slight malty aroma and taste. There is also little to no hop presence, just a perfectly balanced light lager that is crisp to the palate.
At the next family reunion, sip on some Red Stripe, while tossing lawn darts in the summer heat. You will not be disappointed.

I've had Red Stripe numerous times and it has yet to dissappoint. From the one-of-a-kind "short" bottles giving it a one-up on appearance, to its smooth lager taste, Red Stripe should be far from the bottom on your list of favorites.
