Carling Black Label

Brewed by Molson Breweries (MolsonCoors)
Style: Pale Lager
Montreal, Canada

Clear golden color, short head. Quite bitter and dry lager. Decent beer, but not very interesting.

Hmmm, why did I drink this? Oh yeah for a tick. Nasty. Cereal, grain, stinky malt, nasty hops. NOT GOOD.

Unpleasant sour hops and corn aroma. Pale, piss yellow color. Sour malt and hops flavor - not as bad as it smells. Would be okay as your 7th or 8th beer of the night - just don’t make it your first.

Canadian version. Generic macro lager. Nice light gold colour and light white head and lacing. Forgettable but not offensive unless you let it warm. Then the cheap, tinny, bitter-beer taste ruins an otherwise bland moment.

Big fine-laced white head. Light amber body with lots of fast carbonation and big bubbles up the side of the glass. Unbalanced grain and alcohol aroma with vegetable notes. Dry and sweetish caramel and paper taste, also unbalanced. Watery. Dry cardboard aftertaste. Drinkable, if necessary. And this is supposed to compete with the local bitters? (0.5l can from Centra, Oslo.)

Bouteille de 341 ml dégustée chez Boston Pizza (Laval, QC). Arôme: Légère odeur d’houblons et de malt. Apparence: La couleur est blonde avec une faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col mousseux. Saveur: Goût de céréales avec une pointe d’houblons fruités. Courte durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps et la texture sont mince. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence d’houblon en arrière goût. (Rating #1317)

Standard macro pale lager. Not the worst ever, but pretty featureless compared to its numerous colleagues.

I’m only doing this in the name of research, you understand. And because it was 49p. Nothing but pissy malt and distant rubberiness. And people drink this for pleasure. I’m giving it to the G/F because I’d rather drink tyres.
