Carlton Cold Shot

Formerly brewed at Carlton & United Breweries (CUB)
Style: Pale Lager
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I didn't buy this one, nor would you ever see it in my fridge. Some sort of marketing whiz kid at CUB trying to leverage off the unsuspecting drinker. In a nutshell, this is crap. It's a shit beer with a cheap nasty shot of vodka that looks like watered down lucasade...and tastes like a rusty nail dipped in vinegar. Steer clear.

Smells like corn. Looks ok but the carbonation is too fine for a lager, like a champagne. Holds a good foamy head, but this is probably due to the unfortunate vodka marriage. Then it all goes downhill. The taste has an unpleasant sourness to it and the palate is nothing short of nauseating. And it coats the back of your mouth. Pass me the bowl of jalapenos and never give me this crap again.

One of my personal favourite beers. Is alot smoother and better tasting than the original. Hey - it's 6%.

Simply Awful this beer, taste's of sweet corn with a dash of petrol. You literally have to drink this beer like a shot, because once it warms you won't want to touch it, Yuk!

fairly unexiting. no vodka taste. clean taste like coldies worth a try sometime just to say youve had it. if u like coldies u will like this

Hey, here's a better way of drinking this. Do it the other way around! Pour 200ml of vodka into a glass and add a shot of Cold. It looks exactly like the liquid produced by marketing tossers after drinking too much of the original stuff. Come to think of it that must be how the boneheads at CUB came up with the idea. You could just imagine the session in their late night 'creative workshop', sometime slightly before one or all of them photocopied their bums and came up with the complex commercial description of 'Pure clean taste'. As Betty said, a beaut beer for the blokes who think that poofs and sheilas drink Vodka Cruisers.

The funniest beer in the universe. Thanks to motelpogz for sharing a bottle with me. It hides the vodka really well, which is amazing since the foundation beer (Coldy) has no taste at all. Remarkable achievement and a Westie pinup beer for sure. This'll be all over Walgett parties when I next return home. Best wishes.

pretty much as exciting as your standard carlton cold except with an aftertaste of my saliva the morning after downing a whole bottle of stronganoff vodka
