COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Carlton Sterling is a double hopped 2.5% lager and as its name suggests, is a true marque of brewing excellence made from world-class ingredients. The finest of pale malts and roasted barley are used to create malt flavour and colour. Noble Saaz hops and Australian Pride of Ringwood hops provide a subtle yet distinctive hop aroma and flavour. CUBs unique double hopped brewing process, normally reserved for premium beers, maximises flavour to create a light beer of distinction. Its this unique character that brings an extra layer of flavour to this excellent quality low alcohol beer.

Remember this is a ligth beer and should be judged as suuch. It is certainly a little watery but for a light beer it has a good nose and some unique flavour qualities. I enjoyed it.

This is a premium LIGHT beer. Thats its only major fall.. its a light. Its reasonably priced, and not a bad drop.

At the risk of sounding like a tool, I actually enjoyed a longneck of this. Really easy to drink, although nothing spectacular. Shame about the low alcohol.

Pale golden colour with a very average head. Light hoppy nose. Metallic hoppy taste that was slightly soapy and a bit watery.

UPDATED: SEP 18, 2003 This beer is not as bad as others would you have you beleive. A consistent flavour, which tastes exactly the same on tap as it does from a stubby.

Pretty standard light beer, no great taste or style. Just bland mass produced boredom without the alcohol to get you drunk.

No way will I repeat my purchase here. It was not a good choice, but still gave me a debate with a good friend who loves it! Shows that we are all in fact different hey! Maybe that yankee beer was not as bad as I thought after all! It had no taste, or flavour, left nothing to sing about at all really.
