Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Draught. Clear golden yellow with good head. Almost no aroma, just slightly malty. Light bodied with good carbonation. The flavour is very light with a little bitterness in the finish. Overall, it’s a quaffable inoffensive beer but nothing special.

...I have drank this many times, but I despise that weird aftertaste, I don’t know what it is, but it is horrible and you still taste it in the morning after a night of a slab.

The flagship of all that is horrid about Australian lagers. I can’t think of a single positive element. It tastes awful, metallic and has a vile chemical after taste. It smells like a freshly opened can of Ajax. Carlton has no excuse to make beers this bad. It’s sadly one of the most popular beers in Australia though.

Carlton, Melbourne, Australia - Spring 2007 On tap Very thin - but OK in the sun

UPDATED: FEB 20, 2008 An average beer.Pale golden color, small head. Little malty nose, some malty and yeast flavour.Drinkable, but not a big one. Thank you Okosoa&Karesz!!!

Gold pour,head not big but leaves good lace,carb good.Aroma hoppy slight malt.Flavour bitter but then a sour metallic finish,30 years since I drank this it,s changed hands and it,s still krap.

Due to its ubiquitiness one does get to sample this often. It is unpretentious bland but invokes pleasing memories of good pub sessions.

Virtually non-existent aroma, very weak. Pours a nice well rounded clean lager that looks very enticing. Light bitter flavor - nothing special. Average palate with not much aftertaste or complexity.
