First Impression
Classic Jamaican red and white label. Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Brewed in Saint John, New Brunswick! Back the truck up. This is supposed to be Jamaican. New Brunswick isn't even an island. This is heading downhill in a hurry.

First Sip
Ah the fresh disappointment of global capitalism in brewing! One sip and I'm feeling gassy already.

Halfway
Soulless, barren refreshment.

Bottoms up
It's as if the World Bank and the IMF stole the labels, stole the soul from Bob Marley, broke Usain Bolt's kneecaps and then sold me a can of North American maxi-brew draped in a polyester Jamaican flag. If you're going to drink Red Stripe be sure to have it on vacation in Jamaica. This Diageo copycat is brutal.
