Old notes from Nov 2014 - Two small bottles kindly brought back from St Lucia by a mate, poured into a CAMARA pint glass. Pours a pale yellow colour with next to no head. Quite slim on the aromas, what I can smell is of malt & corn I think. Tastes of sweet lemon & malt, but no hops.
Having tasted a few beers from the Caribbean now I wasn't expecting much from this beer, it's proved to be very average.
How: Bottle.
Where: Tasting 2020-08-21.

Aroma: Malt, grass.

Bottle - 275ml. Bland, blond body with a thin, white foamy head. Light malty/hoppy aroma with skunky hints. Pretty thin malty/hoppy taste with no finish at all. Useless, unless you are working on you Ratebeer world map.
Bottle split at Cotts Convention V, T Hanks, 08/06/19.
Pale golden blonde with a decent off white cap.
Nose is grass, pale malts, straw, papery twang.
Taste comprises pale malts, cereals, grains, pretty basic all round.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Sub par even for a PLCS (pale lager country scope).
250ml can at the Pink Papaya in St. Lucia. Smells grainy Ana has a light yellow color. Taste grainy and is light bodied. Light grain aftertaste which lingers some. Nice island beer which is smooth. Cheers!
Very refreshing light crisp beer served on tap in st lucia
Refrigerated 275 cL clear bottle on the calypso cat. Clear golden with small white head. Aroma is malt, medium/light body, lower carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is light grain and some light floral hops for balance.
Can at Cotts 2019. Sweet cardboard aroma. Gold. Thin translucent white head. Saccharine sweet before some sourness into the finish. Thin. Light. Soft carbonation. Abrupt finish. Not great.
Bottle at Cotteridge Wines V Ratebeer event; straw yellow pour with a tightly bubbled off white head, aroma has corn syrup, taste is slightly crisp, but mostly terrible.
At Cotteridge Convention V 2019. not the worst pale lager. Some lemon some hop and bitterness. ok.
Shared at the Cotteridge convention 2019. Poured a clear light straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is gluey grainy malt, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, watery, malt, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.
Bottle shared at Cotts Convention. Thanks to Sarkynortherner. Pours clear yellow gold with a thin white head. Aroma is malt, grain and grass. Taste is grain and malt. Not awful.
Pours straw golden with a full white head that is durable with heavy carbonation. Aroma is corn and light citrus. Taste is corn syrup, moving to some citrus and light hops. Finish is non-existent.
Clear golden colour, white head. Malty aroma. Light bitter, light sweet flavour. Sweet malty finish.
(from taster @ JTClockwork's place. Thanks for sharing!)
Piton was tried and enjoyed on an earlier Caribbean cruise. I am back in St. Lucia so now is an opportunity for a rating. It represents nicely, all light gold through the clear 9.3 oz bottle. Sampled without a glass, no real need or desire. The scent is basic West Indies lager, hay and grain. In the high humidity and served very cold there is nothing to complain about, the taste delivering barley, rice for some reason, field and just a touch of sweetness. Not bad, just not exciting. Live in the moment, you’ll be happier.
Bottle. Country tick #153. Pours gold, small white head - nose and taste of corn, watery malt - light bodied
Appearance: Light orange golden, slight haze. Small white head.
Aroma: Quite fruity, slight grains.
Taste: Light fruits, watery, sweetness, handful of malt molecules. Travelled far, but obviously not that well.
Bought: Trade with Grzesiek79 - big thanks!, sample

Many thanks for sharing the bottle (275ml) to Mariusz. Alez totalnie zle piwo. Kiepskie, lekko metniste, jakby z domieszka piasku. Zero piany, zero aromatu. Smakowo bardzo wodniste, sprawialo wrazenie jakby do syropu kukurydzianego dodano syrop glukozowo-fruktozowy:) kojazylo mi sie takze z tanim z marketu podgrzewanym miodem rzepakowym. Bleee. Thi BAD beer should be in Top 50 in the worst beer ranking.
275ml bottle, thanx JS. Clear pale yellow with a thin, disappearing white head. Not much going on here, some malt aromas, light malt, corn flavors. Light bodied, attenuated finish. Drink it very cold on the beach.
Can. Golden body with white head. Aroma is malts some sweetness and hints phenolic. Taste is sweet malty. Aftertaste is sweet.
