"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

kiwianer (708) - Mönchengladbach, GERMANY - MAY 28, 2012
Geschmack sehr mild und dazu ein ganz schwacher saurer Beigeschmach der auch im Nachgeschmach vorhanden ist. Fazit: Zum Saufen ok, zum Geniessen nichts, den meisten Frauen hat es Geschmeckt, der Preis ist mit ca. 0,80€ für britische Verhältnisse gut. Mittelmäßiges Lager. Test vom 8.8.2008, Gebinde: Dose Noten: 9,9,11,9,10,10 - 9,75

kermis (962) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - MAY 19, 2012
This was really terrible, actually returned a pint thinking it was bad but it was just the way carling is. Bad gone off lemon and metallic. Couldn’t even drink it.

Low quality lager. Has all the standard pale lager traits: fizzy, flavourless and weak.

Lowenbrau (346) - SPAIN - MAY 7, 2012
On tap. Corn aromas. Pours bright gold, with white head. Light body and high carbonation. Some bitterness. Average standard lager.

Aluminium bottle from b&m in Blaydon. A pale golden lager with a very light malty and bitter finish.

VanDer1584 (24) - Bavaria, GERMANY - MAY 5, 2012
Average low-cost beer. Can’t expect anything else from this! alcohol aroma, no fruit at all. Very very light body. Even worse taste. It should be drunk really chilled!! (To hide its horrible taste...) Overall very poor perfomance.

Kronebryg (761) - Sorgenfri, DENMARK - MAY 2, 2012
Little creamy head. Clear light golden. Almost no nose. Light and almost watery. But it is cold and I’m thirsty.

santabeer (3) - NORWAY - APR 21, 2012 does not count
UPDATED: APR 22, 2012 Is this carbonated water or beer? Can’t taste much difference. 5.2USD for a can 0.5l, less expensive with water from the tap.

mzaar (442) - Varberg, SWEDEN - APR 21, 2012
Burk 500 ml. Funkade väl till en enkel tapas i den spanska solen, men det går inte att komma ifrån att detta är en väldigt trist öl egentligen. Dock trevlig sötma i smaken där vingummi och skumbanan framträder rätt starkt.
