Melon, sorrel or lemon? Red Stripe tweet sparks debate on which beer flavour is best
It’s going down on Twitter, BUZZ fam!
Jamaican manufacturers Red Stripe hopped on
the options trend on the Twittersphere but may have bargained for a lot more
than it can handle after sending the timeline into a feverish debate about
which of its flavoured beer is better.

“Let’s settle this!” Red Stripe exclaimed
on Sunday (June 14), as it asked Jamaican Twitter users to drop a reply for
Melon beer, a retweet for Sorrel and a like for Lemon.
Personally, I like them all but if I were
to choose it’d always be sorrel. PERIOD.
Well then, imagine the joy and unbridled
satisfaction I feel when I see the TL sticking up for Sorrel beer.

So proud of y’all! *sheds a contented tear*
The realisation that sorrel could outright
win the debate has not sat well with several Twitter users, seemingly in
disbelief.
Others are just upset the drink isn’t more
widely available overseas (which is another story we’ll need to address Red
Stripe). A travesty!

You already knew this was coming, and no, there are no wrong answers (even if I strongly disagree), so BUZZ fam, what is your favourite flavoured Red Stripe beer?
