Commercial Description:
Carlton Cold was launched in 1993 and enjoys a significant share of the packaged full-strength beer segment. Cold is produced with a cold-filtration process, pioneered in Australia by Carlton & United Breweries and is also the first beer in Australia to be packaged in clear glass and the only beer packaged in unbreakable PET bottles.

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!

Bottle: Pale and sparkling apperance. Sweety, malty and citrus in nose. Taste malty, corn, metal with a thin bitter finisch.

375 ml bottle, bought at Vaaland, Bryne. Clear golden color, fine white head. Aroma has hints of fruit and malt. The flavor is very thin, with some sweetness and maybe malt. Very thin stuff.

375 ml bottle. Good-looking, mostly diminishing white head. Brilliant golden color. A note of fruit and cardboard to the nose. Light sugary grain flavor. A touch unfresh bittering hops and a light lemony note. Skinny body. Fruity, light sourish ending. Not that bad, utterly boring only.

375 ml clear bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.6%. Crystal clear pale golden colour, fizzy, with a big to moderate lasting white head. Moderate fruity aroma, notes of candy and citrus. Zesty mouthfeel. The flavour is moderately sweet with some fruity notes, minimal hops, bland finish. Not much to write home about here. Far from undrinkable though.
