COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Carlton Cold was launched in 1993 and enjoys a significant share of the packaged full-strength beer segment. Cold is produced with a cold-filtration process, pioneered in Australia by Carlton & United Breweries and is also the first beer in Australia to be packaged in clear glass and the only beer packaged in unbreakable PET bottles.

Bottle Poured clear yellow with an average head. Nothing there, just a tin, artificial after taste. Canoe beer, even worse than most Latin American brews.

Benzai (2296) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - NOV 19, 2011
Bottle thanks to Countbeer. Big rough white head on top of a clear yellow colored beer. Smell almost nothing, just a little malts. Taste malts and some sourness. Low carbo, low body.

StuffWine (42) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - AUG 17, 2011
Bottle. Weak head of large bubbles dissipated quick. Clear and typical straw hue. Thin aroma of hops and wet carboard (yummm). Hardly any initial flavour, followed by weird funky (in a bad way) bready/yeasty finish. Slightly oily on palate while still water (dont know how). Would drink if there was nothing else available/safe. So boring.

pale straw when poured into glass, white head which diddipates quickly, light malt and hop flavor, very uninteresting beer.

Föreställer man sig det sämsta ölet i världshistorien kan man möjligen ana hur Carlton Cold smakar - men veta, det gör man bara efter att ha fått sina smaksinnen våldtagna av den här vidrigt blaskiga ursäkten till öl. Överlevde mänskligheten Andra världskriget bara för att få producera sådana här förolämpande dåliga maltdrycker? Det här måste gå att åtala under Genèvekonventionerna.

Koelschtrinker (6544) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - JUN 19, 2011
Eine dezente herb-bittere Note legt sich im Antrunk auf den Gaumen, das Bier schmeckt ansonsten fad und meiner Meinung im Antrunk leicht abgestanden. Im Grunde war es das - das Bier hat sonst nichts zu bieten. Test vom 30.3.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,5,6,4,13,4 - 5,20

If its not cold you might choke on this one. Probably one of the worst beers going around, a tad step up from corona

From a 375ml bottle on 16/10/2010. I have a friend who, for a long period of time, pretty much refused to drink anything but Carlton Cold. I would frequently tell him he was drinking possibly the worst beer in the world. He has now dumped Cold, because of the change to the formula, which takes it down to 4% abv (I note that the new version no longer makes any reference to the Carlton brand at all). This is my first (and hopefully last) try of the revised Cold. Could it possibly be worse now? Virtually nil aroma (though my partner detected a touch of urine) and negilible taste, with a tiny bit of unpleasant sour bitterness at the end, which lingers too long and makes you crave water. Appalling.
