"The great balance of taste and refreshment". Britain’s best selling beer since 1971.
<a href=http://www.carling.com>Website

The "Black Label" has been dropped from the name in the UK. The brand, originally Canadian, was launched multinationally in the 1960s and since then ownership fell into the hands of different breweries in different countries. The original Carling O’Keefe brewery that developed this beer was purchased by Molson in the 1980s. Coors later purchased both Molson and the UK license holders Bass. Carling Black Label is still brewed in Canada

jredmond (2820) - Manhattan, New York, USA - MAY 25, 2011
Draft at Three Kings in London. Pours a clear golden yellow. Smells like a normal bland, macro lager. Mouthfeel is carbonated piss. I will never drink this again. Didnt finish the pint.

Cheap as chips.Tried both keg and can. Quenches a thirst if nothing else is available. Similar to Carlsberg. Choice of chavs. Gives Stella a run for its money. Officially endorsed by Jobcentres around Britian.

Bierkrug (1666) - Idar-Oberstein (In East Africa), Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - APR 26, 2011
500 ml can in England. Pours pale golden in color, very low white head. Has that wonderful US macro taste, aroma and palate. Not quite as terrible and intense as a Bud but trying to catch it for sure.

Rune (4924) - Tromsø, NORWAY - MAR 26, 2011
Half pint as Carling Extra Cold, only keg-beer available for rating at the pub called The Old Red Lion Theatre pub. Clear golden, almost no head. Smell is more or less nothing, notes of mineral water perhaps. Careful fruity hints in flavour, otherwise very tasteless. Watered and fizzy carbonated, no off-taste, though (London, 20.03.2011).

can@home, left by a friend, by accident(?):cheap, simple, somewhat shitty, should be simply called beer, even the can looks cheap, yet this is somehow strangely offensive
