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.

For this price you can’t complain. Far superior in comparison to VB and Toohey’s New. Goes down quite smooth, but it has a sweet bite.

Great summer beer, clean taste that can be enjoyed with a wedge of lemon in bottleneck. Head retention is poor but does not detract from this easy drinking light bitter.

I’m obviously going to be in a minority here, but I actually liked this one. (*shock* *horror*) Not as much as certain other beers, though, and what I liked most about it was that it was very drinkable (quaffable, I think someone else said). Noted of course that it’s a clear bottle, so drinking it locally will be very different to drinking it overseas where the skunk factor will have probably well and truly kicked in by the time it’s reached the consumer.

Yellow golden color with whie head. Aroma of hops, malts and a bit honey. Clear, clean and crisp. Moderate bitter finish. Easy to drink from the bottle. Screw cap.
