1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
330mL bottle
Pale straw, doesn’t hold a head. Reeks of skunk and DMS, fizzy, insipid, fetid, with a strange metallic/corny dryness lingering on the palate.
The last few lagers I tried were nothing special, but not offensive, this is - it struggles to go down. Reminds me of being a teenager and drinking any cheap piss we could get our hands on...avoid!
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle - pours a pale honey colour with a thin white head. Cardboard aroma with a hint of porridge. Bit of malt up front but then nothing. Very watery with lots of carbonation.
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
A true shocka. Makes VB seem like it has depth and character. Watery and chemicals.
0.9 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
No, no, no. This beer is wrong in so many ways, it’s hard to know where the start. From the skunky smell to the plasticky, vaguely offensive taste, this is not a "great" anything. Had this when it was being sold cheap at a happy hour. The first was so bad I thought it must have been "off"; but the second was exactly the same.
0.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
I did not enjoy this beer at all. tasteless and pointless beer really. has got nothing going for it at all. don’t waste your money on it, but something better.
1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20
Struggle beer, expected when given away at the pub for tasters, don’t bother.
1.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Pale gold pour has a good head aroma hoppy grassy flavour grassy bitter of medium strength has some sweetness but more like metallic rough tasting bit of grain finish sweet malt metallic taste leaves a bad aftertaste no matter what
0.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
330ml bottle. Pours thin and watery as expected with basic bland aromas of dishwater. No head except for a few sparse bubbles. Horrid flavour. Brewed for the masses.
1.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
330ml clear glassed bottle (never a good sign). Carlton United are trying to increase their market share in parochial Queensland by brewing this bland Mexican-style lager locally rather than interstate. It pours clear bright golden with a small short lasting white head. The nose and taste is sweetcorn syrupy golden malts with a mild and rather soapy hop bitterness to the finish. Light bodied and sessionable which I guess is the point.
