Bermuda's Banks Caribbean Lager

Barley aroma, amber colour, light white head that disappears almost instantly. Tastes like any other mainstream lager.

Grade: C

Grolsch - Holland

As per my first beer review, this lager was quite good. It was very similar to the Heineken look and taste. 

This beer poured with a skunky aroma, golden see through colour and thin white head that dissipated quiet quickly. With its non-twist off cap, the beer went down very smooth (light), and had a grassy/grainy hops aroma, with a floral sweet hint in between, finishing with a dry taste. I recommend this beer for a hot summer day, served iced cold!

Overall Grade: C+
