What a fantastic beer!! I wasn't expecting much other than a slight headache after a heavy night, but the low alcohol lets you knock back a carton in a night and still enjoy the last as much as the first without so much as a hint of a headache the next morning. it has a good full body flavour and just gets better as it gets colder.

This little effort by CUB was not bad at all. Its got some long taste as well as a good puring head. Don't know why people have rated it so low...maybe they are not drinking that well.

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

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!

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

This beer has a light yellow body - hue with a bitter initial flavor and a light body.

In the bottle. This label now is called simply "Mid" and not midstrength. Claims to be double hopped. Pours gold with a medium poofy head of fairly big bubbles. Has a strong adjunct aroma. Does have a stronger hoppiness than most Oz beer. The finish is a bit lemony. Body is not much up front, but I like how the beer finishes.

Brought back from Australia in the "Beers down under" six pack. This offering from Carlton pours a pale yellow with a highly carbonated body. The inital smell is lemon, somewhat herbal hop presence. The taste is dry, I’m finding that alot of Carlton’s beers are basically the same. The taste reminds me of dried lemon rind, merged with a simple syrup (sugar and water) sweetness. The finish is sour, gives your mouth a tart aftertaste for a bit.
