Carlton Cold

Brewed by Carlton & United Breweries (CUB)
Style: Pale Lager
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

37.5 cL bottle. Pours clear and yellow with a diminishing white head. Light grainy to cornish aroma. Flavour is mild cornish with a medium sweet base. Slowly increasing bitterness into the finish.

Pours a nice light golden yellow. Aromas of hops, grass, and maybe corn. Taste is crisp with a nice mellow hop flavor.

Bottle. [Courtesy of yespr, thanks buddy] Average egg-white head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Clear golden colour. Aroma of hops, cardboard, grass, grain, caramel. Light bodied with a soft carbonation and light dry texture. Light bitter and sweet flavour. Light dry and bitter finish.

...similar to an "ice" beer in the US. Nothing really good about it, but it is drinkable, but only when free.

Warm golden with a moderate and dense head. The aroma is weak with notes of flower and malt. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of flower, malt and a light bitterness. The overall impression is a somewhat thin beer, that is very easy to drink, refreshing and uncomplicated.

Bottle 375ml. Clear golden body with normal size white head. Sweet in the nose. Very neutral flavour with hops in the aftertaste. Not much of a beer...

Am being abit generous but there are worst beers made by CUB. Soapy and abit frothy and abit of metal at the back.. Have had worse.

This is how beer smells. Well, at least this is how 99.9% of the beer drunk in Australia smells - sweet and full of Pride of Ringwood. Tastes even worse, the sickly sweetness managing to have me pulling a face of disgust without even realising. This can somehow be tolerated if drunk with very small sips, but who the hell does that when drinking a beer under 5% abv. However it comes in a great clear bottle that lets you see exactly how the beer looks. How good is that!
