Sweet and rather thin with some flavours of cardboard and metallic vegetables. Luckily the awful flavours of Melbourne Bitter is here diluted, making this a much more drinkable liquid.

| 1.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | Nov 23, 2006 Things that Carlton Light is light on: flavour, smell, body, head, alcohol, barley malt, flair, invention, ambition, passion, character, quality, pleasure. It’s drab-looking lager with a sparse standard-issue CUB head (no point in a brewer worrying about head when the beer will be drunk from a stubby, is there?) The aroma is piercingly uric and grassy. There are unexpected honey notes in the mid-palate before a classic metallic POR finish. To be fair, this has solid bitterness for a low-alcohol beer. Just a pity it’s bitterness of the sucking-pennies variety. Soda-water thin body. By no means the worst in the CUB range. (330ml bottle. Best before Jan 2007)
