I don’t want to waste real beer on cooking, so whenever I need more BBQin’ beer, I quickly calculate the absolute cheapest beer per ounce and Carling wins every time. In the 15-pack I bought, it was about 50 cents a can! I consider Carling a 2nd-tier beer, alongside PBR and Narragansett, and above stuff like Busch Light, but really I never actually drink the stuff, just use it for boiling hot dogs, sticking in a chicken, or pouring into a water pan for smoking. If only there were a rating for VALUE.

Sweet fruity aroma with mild caramel notes. Sweet flavor with fruity and hoppy notes that finishes it bitter.

Draught available widely in UK. A truly woeful effort and always has been. Smells disgusting and tastes of nothing. Beer of choice for morons in the UK.

Can at the Levee: It’s difficult to resist a beer of this caliber when it’s $4 for a shot of bourbon and a can of this stuff. Good deal, and I got a rating with my buzz. Pale golden. Adjunct/husk/corn aroma. Thin and fizzy with almost no bitterness. A mess.

From tap at Den Engelske in Fredericia as Carling Extra Cold - served at 2°C. Pours pale yellow and clear with dense chalk white head. Mild bitter pilsner aroma. Flavour is medium dry and slight cornish with a light bitterness following. Ends medium bitter and dry. Not much different from any european lager. Boring yet clean and crisp.

Heileman’s can. Ok, I must be the only non-hater of this beer. I actually thought it was pretty good and would consider buying a case to go camping with. Pours to a filtered pale yellow body with lots of visible carbonation and a tall, lasting frothy starch white head. The aroma has that corn and husky lager aroma with slight specialty malts and light floral hops. The flavor is actually not bad for a suspected premium lager. Corn flakes are crisp and it has a clean lager flavor. Very smooth flavor with no hints of nasties. The palate is medium-light bodied with a nice crispness and lingering mouth-watering feel. Nice simple hop bitterness. Surprising! I gave it a bunch of bonus points.
