Carlton Pure Blonde

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

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, golden with a small, white head. Discreet aroma of malt and brewing cereal. Medium-bodied with a light maltiness and a dry, sulphurous finish. At least for a Low Carb it is pretty drinkable. 280108

Bottled. Golden coloured with dishwater-like head. Light bready aroma. Fairly sweet with strange, artificial plastic flavour. Thin, but not sharp. Drinkable, but certainly not enjoyable.

Bottle at a small Aussie-Kiwi beer festival in Copenhagen. Pale colour with a short lasting head. Weak aroma of malt...nothing else to notice as it was the beer was served quite cold. Flavour is waterish with some weak maltiness and little graininess. No aftertaste. A very waterish brew indeed! If the blonde refers to the style of beer then I thats a great joke.

Bottle. Another bland, crappy lager from our innovative friends at Carlton and United. Impossible to write about the flavour, aroma, etc, when it doesn’t have any.....zzzzzz.

had a bottle of this at a party which at least meant i didn’t have to pay too much attention to it. limp and yellow and with only some corn syrup flavour

On tap at the Googee Hotel Pub. Pale yellow with a fleeting white head. Served extremely cold and prohibitive of aroma. Thin body and watery finish. Good for coming right of the beach, but then again, so’s a cold drink of water. I mistakenly thought I was getting a Bondi Blonde. This, like all low carb beers by style, leaves a bit to be desired.

Very pale golden, clear, medium head. I wouldn’t go so far as calling this "foul", but it is pretty boring. Sweet malt is really all you get for flavour (the same as all corn-adjunct, over-processed pale lagers on the market). Very thin palate. If you really need to drink while you lose weight, why not drink a better beer, just less often? Not one I’d come back too.

Bottled. Pale yellowy golden colour. Fizzy & cold nonsense. Note a great drop.
