Had this last night. Super intense, but mostly because of how thick and malty it was, just a small burn from alcohol.

First time I had it was like 30 years ago in a Reggae bar in Wrigleyville near Wrigley Field. Didn't really care for it then but a couple years ago someone brought some to our annual neighborhood Christmas party and I tried one at their encouragement and really dug it, so much that they "made" me take a couple home to enjoy later. Could they have changed their recipe some time in the past 3 decades? Or, more likely, my palate has changed over the years.Calvinball wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 11:44 pm I haven’t had it in so long I cannot weigh in.

Et tu Ronald? What is it about Red Stripe that makes you all warm and fuzzy?

1. You got off a cruise in Jamaica and watched the waves roll in whilst squeezing Mrs. Broham and drinking the magical potion?
2. The short stubby bottle and "Diver Down" logo has you bewitched?
3. You own Red Stripe stock?
I spent a week in Ocho Rios drinking "the best beer in the world mon" and I wasn't taken in for a second, not from the first beer to the 156nd. It's the ONLY BEER in Jamaica mon. That is it's redeeming characteristic. Which would be like if you were stuck in Miami and Natty Light was the only and and hence "best beer in America." Fortunately, that's not the case.
Horrible beer, 5/7 marketing doe.
My experience with it was described above.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 2:31 pmEt tu Ronald? What is it about Red Stripe that makes you all warm and fuzzy?

I know it's nothing particularly special but just found it to be a light beer with more flavor than most lights and it goes down easy. I mean, I've had beer in some of the greatest beer locations in the world, from Prague to Berlin to beer halls in Munich to London to Warsaw (Poland has some surprisingly 5/7 darks), etc. and I know RS isn't nearly as good as the brews from those places, but I'd take one over a C- or Miller/Bud Light or any of that piss water 5 out of 7 days. That's all.
Yea, never been a Hamms fan, but I do remember fondly the Hamms Bear ad campaign from when I was a wee lad.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 5:32 pmSee OT for ChiTown Pisswater King of the Hill!wap wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 5:29 pm
