In this case, it is all about memories (well, that and the fact that Ellie went beer shopping with my dad the other day to fill my pipeline while I played the doting son and stayed home with mom, and she picked this one up knowing I hadn't blogged it yet..)
Admittedly, I had this one last fall when we went to a wedding in Jamaica (the Proc's daughter Sara). It is your basic lager, with a dry finish that gives it a bit of personality. Still, I don't so much taste the beer as remember the sun, water and great time. So, I wouldn't go so far as to recommend a trip to Jamaica just for this beer, but then, do you really need such an excuse?

This is a safe bet for those who stay on the beer highway and don't like to go off-roading. It even is in a 24 oz bottle, so you don't have to stop for refills that often..... ;>)
Mom is doing well, making dad and I watch Dancing With The Stars.....ugh, probably should have been drinking the spiced wheat I have....
