pored from a 375ml can, would be lovely on a hot day. this low alcohol beer is refreshing ang has a clean malty taste to it, typical of many mass produced beers. nothing bad about this beer, its just nothing special.

Yeesh. Carlton you have fucked it up again. All your ad campaigns still won’t convince me to "stay a little longer" Serve this swill up to lose your mates. That is a given. Harsh beer, light carbonation and just too chemically enhanced to be considered.

375ml bottle. I love the new logo with the horses... somehow this beer now tastes better than it used to! Smells good, tastes good and goes down like a treat. You can’t tell it is a midstrength by the taste. It really has a full bodied taste as they promote. Easy on the head which is good. No nasty hangovers from this one. I’m a fan. Can’t see what all the fuss is about how bad CUB beers are... except carlton cold of course. Thats just awful stuff!

It isnt really an exciting beer, for the price per case I would far prefer a box of James boags light or xxxx gold. But with that said if it is really cheap or something offered it isnt that bad that I wouldnt drink it. It is like a cider water with a beer cordial added to it very lightly. I noticed someone else said it tastes almost metallic and I tend to agree. When it says double hopped I am expecting something that would smell like a pilsner. Very deceitful.

hoppy taste, a lot like carlton draught, tastes more like a fullstrength than a light, generally a pretty good effort at a stubby with exactly 1 standard drink

I rate this beer above VB but with similar bland faint flavour. I guess it is good if your thirsty and have to drive.

This is a decent beer at a very affordable price, mainly found in Queensland, which is an Aussie province north of Sydney and Melbourne.
