Red Stripe - Jamaican lager
Expert Rating: 3.5/5
My girlfriend took one sip of this and said, “Oh. This is a dad beer.”
And sure enough, this beer is more likely to impress your dad than your girlfriend. (You know that momentous first time when you’re watching the game with him and he offers to go pick up a six-pack…suggest this!) It’s a man’s beer–a good strong taste with a kind of depth to it that it’s hard to put your finger on. It’s not quite interesting enough to be called exotic, but it’s definitely not what you’re used to either.
Red Stripe is a good beer, but it’s not a good beer to get drunk on. Enjoy one at a barbecue (of the six I drank the one I enjoyed most was with chicken wings) or a day at the beach, preferably while listening to Bob Marley on an outdated boom box. If you have to incorporate it into the party scene, use it as a pre-gamer.
Overall, Red Stripe is a little too expensive to be your regular beer, and a lot too expensive to get you all the way through a big night. But it’s a little different, and it tastes pretty good.

No, dad is intentional. Aaron is saying that this is a beer for your dad, not for your average college student.
