KeefOz (471) - Tarragindi, AUSTRALIA - DEC 7, 2012
Poured a clear golden amber colour with virtually no head, very poor lacing, and very low carbonation. Aroma – nothing. Tasteless – not any real beer flavour. Light body, bordering on watery. Tasteless bland finish. Can’t compare to a decent beer.

This is a very good beer for the price. It goes down really well with Maccas or Fish and Chips. I’ve drank a slab to myself and woken up with little to no side effects the next morning.

Read my last few reviews of Aussie beers. This is worse again. Cold is so bad it’s barely even palatable ice cold. Not far off a drain pour and I probably would have dumped it during more healthy economic times.

Cantabrian (383) - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND - JUN 28, 2012
Abominable. Bottled beer, taken in Fiji. Somehow the label does not say "Carlton" anywhere. After tasting it, I could understand why Carlton probably does not want its name associated with this beer. The mere thought of it causes me nausea, almost like fresh coriander.

Light head disappears quickly. Light colored light bodied. A sweet and smokey aroma. Clean flavor, no bite.

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.
