Red Stripe Lager Beer

Pros: Easy- drinking lager; not filling
Cons: Nothing unique or special

This is the first of three postings for my entry in the “Red, White, and Blue” write- off to celebrate American Independence Day, hosted by jay1051971. Be sure to read the reviews submitted by the other participants who are listed below

Pros: Refreshing, crisp, firm bodied
Cons: None come to mind

OK, I just got home from 8 hours of hard, physical labor today, and then after that a 40 minute ride home in the glaring afternoon sun. I've now been up since 5 AM this morning. It's time for a beer. Wait though. I'm hot, tired, and thirsty. An Imperial...

Pros: Widely available, wet
Cons: It's nothing special

Dinner one night last week had a decidedly German theme. Potato salad and bratwurst, crusty bread and a big dollop of mustard. That was the food sorted, now for the beer. What would compliment this meal? Some weiss beer? A bock? Perhaps a dunkel. I had a...

Pros: wet and refreshing
Cons: pretty basic, nothing to write home about

Almost every country has some brewery or breweries. Even tropical weather countries will still need some brewski to get them through. Jamaica is no exception to this rule. They have a couple breweries. I have always had a fondness for Dragon ...

Pros: Great taste, clean finish, smooth as all get-out
Cons: A little bit pricey

Red Stripe may be a bit pricey, but it's about my favorite beer to have on hand when hanging out in the summer, doing outside stuff, and wanting a cold one to quench my nagging thirst. When I think of Red Stripe, I think of cookouts, outdoor concerts and...

Pros: Light, it's a good summer beer
Cons: A bit sour

Red Stripe beer is something I generally have to drink in the summer. There hasn't been a summer go by in a decade that I haven't had at least several 6 packs of this. It has a mystique, which it cannot always live up to, but I've spent many summer...

Pros: Light effervescence helps you quaff chunky 12oz bottles down with ease.
Cons: Nothing overly remarkable about its character.

:::BOTTLE:::
I've been drinking Red Stripe off and on as a "watering" beer for about 8 years now. I decided to write an Epinion of the brew after having a glut of the stuff left over from a Non-Domestic beer party about a week ago.

...

Pros: A decent beer, would hold up well to Cajun food or hot weather
Cons: Nothing special, but better than the USA big 3.

One thing that I realize since I started writing epinions is that there's a funny story to every beer. That's the thing that sets an epinion review apart from every other beer drinking guide. It's either that or state a few facts about the brewery or...

Pros: Bit naughty, bit rough, funky flavour
Cons: Rotten headaches

Consider for a second - what does beer actually taste of?

Also, what if we'd forgotten to invent it. Then suddenly someone offered you some. What's your reaction?

Like trombones, ping pong balls and mint flavoured chewing gum, if...

Pros: light, satisfying, no aftertaste
Cons: hard to find

As your average college student and frat boy punk I can say that I have a pretty quality knowledge of many of the beers that the world has to offer. One of my personal favorites would be Red Stripe, a fine import from the lovely sundrenched land of...

Pros: More flavor than most tropical beers
Cons: May be prey to being less than fresh

If you find yourself staring at the beer cooler because you just are in need of a change, this would not be a bad route to take. People who have visited Jamaica know of this beer and it is because it is more than an island novelty.
I've...

Pros: Clean and light with a great finish. A great beer!
Cons: A bit of the pricey side. The lack of a 12 pack limits it as a party option.

As a college student, I do my fair share of drinking. When the funds run low, it's time to reach down into the penny jar and scrape enough nickels together for a low end macro brewed beer. But when my parents have been generous and the bank...

Pros: Evokes a Pleasant Frame of Mind
Cons: Tastes like typical American macro lager

Red Stripe is basically an Islands version of Budwesier Light. This beer is pale straw in color with no discernable hop or malt nose and virtually no head retention. The flavor is full of adjunct (sugar, rice) sweetness and also has a pretty bad bite...

Pros: Unique
Cons: brain feels like jello

This is one of those beers you either love or spew out immediately. This is not a Miller MGD nor a Bud, and my friends would cause me bodily harm if I listed this as a micro brew.

I have had Red Stripe Lager Beer before I met my wife. And...

Pros: Not like your average beer; Makes you feel Irie
Cons: Hard to find in the US

When I think of Jamaica, I think of palm trees, high humidities, the ocean and the beach. Of course, when I think of beer, Jamaica isn't the first thing to come to mind. This full- blooded American, blonde haired, blue eyed girl likes her beer, yes,...
