Tastes like beer with vodka, why they ever released this is beyond me. Carlton cold just made worse.

I don't know why they bothered. It doesn't taste much different from Colds at all. Little flavour. Infact, taste a bit worse because of the alcohol. It is also my belief that a shot of vodka is 1 standard drink, which means this beer should be around 8%. Overly priced flavourless piss really.

I dont know how they thought this could ever sell. The idea is bad, and the execution is worse - tastes like motor oil, its worse than the original. cheers

This beer is disgraceful, tastes like a carlton cold (not saying much) that has been opened and left in the sun for a week. No thanks.

crap bland and quite nauseating tasting. like carlton cold but a bit ranker. I heard a rumour they are going to stop making this, due to it's lack of sales. i hope that it's true.

Like licking the pavement on Parramatta Rd, heaps of rubber and metal in there with some raw alchohol in the finish, also got some boiled carrots in the finish. Pretty terrible.

and in a move that would make practically ever serious beer lover baulk at the knees, CUB adds a shot a vodka in their bland range of beer in order to get the young and hip crowds drunk faster. Now all they need is a bottle with a wider neck and this beer is complete.

My wife asked me to clean the toilet on the weekend. We were out of toilet cleaner and so was the local supermarket. I went next door to the bottle shop and bought a stubby of this muck and you know what...it worked a treat. Had one sip before I emptied the contents on the sides of the toilet bowl and wished I had not. Nuff said.
