Carlton Pure Blonde

On tap. Clear golden straw colour with little to no aroma of any kind and the taste is the same. You wonder how they actually make beer like this, do they make a normal lager then water it down? Just horrible.

[Bottle] Pours clear golden with a tiny white head. Aroma is really weak--almost non-existent, but I guess some maltiness is there. Taste is grainy, adjunct-laden with almost no detectable hops. Fairly thin, but smooth, with an average to slightly below average length finish. This is a bad beer, but not cheap Russian malt liquor trainwreck bad. Basically just your typical macro pale lager, and not something I hope to revisit.

Bottle 355ml. Boring low-carb beer. Aroma is light and floral. Flavour is light too, sweet with just a hint of bitterness. Very thin and watery in the palate. Yellow in colour, bubbly, with a thin head that disappears.

Bottle - Slight Malt aroma. This has remarkably little taste. I really could be drinking water and I am not exaggerating. Wow!

Can. Well.. fairly easy to rate at least. Not bad. Not good. Just.. effing close to water.

No aroma at all. Tastes like half a pint of Carlton Cold topped up with water. Palate is thin, near non existent. Made to get you utterly smashed, basically alcoholic water. Inoffensive, but almost insultingly weak.

This is one of my favourite session beers if I plan on getting a bit wasted. Purely because it is easy to drink, relatively inoffensive and cheap. It pours pale, with no head. Very little aroma and a dry, malty flavour. Hardly impressive, but if you want a beer you can drink 24 of, this is it

Not a bad beer. This is much better than the typical light beer. It’s marketed as being low in carbs, but it’s not low in taste. A bit thin and watery, but a good accompaniment to a meal on a hot Australian day.
