| Comments: Geez, why did I even bother? Talk about hard to down, this beer is possibly the biggest joke to hit the shelves of the local Liquor store since Carlton Cold!!! Warning bells were there just from the label and the clear glass bottle, I should have put it back. Poured into a Pilsner glass, medium soapy white head formed quickly atop a crystal clear straw body. Heavy metallic aroma, skunky, and something almost like Ouzo and coke wafted from the glass. Carlton Cold in the mouth, very soapy and Diacetyl slick, chemically derived carbonation and clamminess across the palate, yet oddly flavourless. Almost not beer at all. I don’t know what drugs the Bean counters at CUB are on because this is an insulting Drain poor of a ’drink’. ’Nuff said!!! | ||||

| Comments: Well done Carlton! You actually managed to make a version of Carlton Cold that was even worse! I didn't think that it was possible, but here it is. To say that it tastes like it came from a camel with syphilis, is an insult to syphilic camels everywhere. From the nasty yellow colour (well indicated by the clear bottle), to the soapy detergentesque head, this is the beer of Bacardi Breezer drinkers. Late hopped? I think the hops were so late that they missed "processing" (I don't believe that this chemically-flavoured liquid was actually brewed). Surely someone at CUB lost their job for letting this one get out. | ||||
