One of the worst and cheapest beer you can find in Belgium. Do not drink this one.

Golden, white head. Corn aroma, some butter. Grassy flavor with some corn. Watery and thin. Some bitterness in the finish.

UPDATED: JUL 31, 2005 As long if you drink it cold enough is this a very refreshing beer. Cara is certainly worth it’s money (this is a almost free beer). But it lacks flavour, if you would drink some better beers before you taste cara then this one tastes like bad water. I prever the bottle over the can.

Can, 33 cl. Let’s start rather positively: the beer looks good: golden, celar colour, with many bubbles rising and a little dirty white to grey, but stable head. If you smell you encounter a grainy, but also a malty smell. But the smell is and strange and unfresh. Than the taste: if you ever wondered what you would experience if you take a glass of beer, fill it for the half with beer and the other half with water, well, I think Cara Pils comes very close to that experience. The taste is light grainy, but flat and... watery. There is some dryness, but a bad one. But the overall taste you have is beer dilluted with water. Maybe refreshing, but as a beer you can’t get away with that, even if the taste isn’t ’bah!’ like I had with the (Dutch) Kaiser Pils. Let’s say it’s a bad but in the end drinkable beer.

Couple of those and I’ll have stomach reflux. Yeah , it’s mostly metallic taste overpowers old bread malts and bitter hops leaving a sour acid aftertaste. Buerk.

33cl. Clear golden body, minimalist white head, medium lacing. Very weak light malty aroma, metallic flavour, too less hops, short finish. Should be drunk cold enough.

pretty awful nothing else to say here... think beast ice and mine was served warm too

From a can. Really watery beer with hardly any remarkabilty what so ever. Only reason to drink this is for the cheapness.

Gedronken bij Benzay samen met Dutchdrebus, pils, geel maar wel helder, wit schuim, ruikt niet lekker, kotsgeur, tent-feest-geur als je tot het laatst blijft hangen, bah. Smaakt waterig.

If there’s a party, they ask you to take every kind beer with you, except cara pils. Now i know why...
