Blond color. Light malt aroma. Very simple flavor. Quite useless, a bit dry and astringent at the end.

(Can 50 cl) Pale golden with a nice creamy head. Corn-like "chicken fodder" notes with only a weak bitterness. Very unspectacular. 250802

A very inoffensive beer and one that is almost perfect for my intended purpose of camping. It’s cheap and has a nice clean taste with just a bit of hops, nothing much, but still pleasant. Also one of the palest yellow beers I’ve seen and has no aroma. Still, to me, this is what a cheap beer should be.

It dribbles down the chin like fresh rutting pig juice. The sting in the tail is the perfect blend of hop and malt and metal gas. Bulges like a toy balloon.

This is now being brewed in Australia under licence by Independent Breweries. Haven’t tasted the UK version for at least a decade, so I can’t compare, but the best thing about it was the ad campaigns. The canned Australian version looked very pale in the glass but poured with a solid plug of foam. Fair head retention. The aroma is subdued but shows a mineral note, lemony hops and wet dog. Hint of bubblegum. On the tongue it has a mild lemony bite but suffers from ’grabby’ burp-inducing carbonation. Very Bud-like and ’clean’ in the US soda-like macro tradition. From memory, the UK version has/had more hop bitterness than this. (375ml can, 4.5% abv, Brewed by Independent Breweries Australia under the brand ’Carling Black Label’)

Can enjoyed cold in 27 C on Rhodes: golden coloured. Clear. Fluffy white head. Light hoppy and malty aroma. Flavour is light sweet and grassy. Is medium bodied and has some fullness. Ends on a light bitter note.

Bottle. Well this was some pretty rancid stuff. Typical macro corn flavor, but incredibly skunked. Grossness.
