Bottled. Pale golden, airy head. Light raspberry aroma. 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.

Pale golden colour, thick white head. Pale malt aroma, a bit cardboardy and stale. Faint honey sweetness. Very simple and boring.

Almost golden body, short lasting head, lager taste with some bitterness. Still it was boring but inoffensive.

They have a lovely picture of barley on the label. Nice touch, if only there was some in the can. Why do people bother with light beer?

Canned: Slightly skunky on opening. Very faint pale gold with a small short lasting white head. Faint soapy bitter hops aroma. Weak bitter hop start, followed by some light soda water and corn sweet flavours. Weak asprin like finish

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)
