Carling Lager Reviews

Carling is the most ubiquitous brand of lager sold in the UK. It has a rather unsophisticated taste and seems watered down compared to premium continental brands. It is cheaper, but often flat and I would rather pay the extra for better quality. Served cold on a hot day it can be refreshing, but it wouldn't be my tipple of choice. In ...  Read the complete review

Some may say this is the "cheap and cheerful" option, but I must strongly disagree. Although it is the budget option, it is by far the best you can buy for your money. When I decide to have a drink (as I often do on weekends) this is my preferred larger over the more predominant brands, and another advantage is it goes down ...  Read the complete review

What does the popularity of this Canadian moose piss prove? Most Brits are white-van driving Sun readers who wander about with their arse crack out and obviously haven't got a clue about lager. Or anything else for that matter.It just goes to show we should ban adverts - too many morons get brainwashed by pretty pictures and catchy slogans and end up buying magic shampoo and beer that tastes like bath water.Here's some slogans for you ...."I bet he drinks Carling Black Label .... he's a retard""Carling. Brilliantly depressing""Your best bet for no flavour""You know who your mates are ..... the other ones in the bar with their knuckles dragging on the floor trying to remember what day it is drinking the same pint of stagnant pond water as you."I'd rather drink fresh piss from Kate Middleton's fanny.......... now there's a thought.

I like a good lager. Budweiser Budvar (not the horrific US version) and other Czech beers are usually refreshing and tasty. But Carling epitomises everything wrong with a lager. Gassy, metallic and thin, it amazes me that modern brewing technology can produce something so appalling from hops malt and yeast, though I suspect that many ...  Read the complete review

I thought about this a lot, generally my reviews are fair and often I review things I really like, so they never have much bite to them, well unfortunately I saw Carling lager and thought i'd give it a review. I think i've got enough experience to review the product, i've probably bought most lagers it is possible to drink ...  Read the complete review

Arguably one of the pioneering drinks in Great Britain. It was originally brewed in Canada but made the transition to Britain in 1952. Traditionally a nation of ale drinker Britain took time to adjust to this new drink but a massive advertising campaign in the 1970's and the production of carling in Cans increased its brand awareness and ...  Read the complete review

If you're looking for a general average lager, staying away from the premium stuff and being a bit kinder to your pocket without sinking to the lowest of rubbish lagers, then you could do a lot worse than Carling. brewed from 100% British barley, it's a 4% ABV (alcohol by volume) lager that has a nice smooth taste to it. It's been around ...  Read the complete review

My brother in law drinks too much lager. Like a lot of others he doesn't drink as much as he used to in the pubs but with canned lager still being much cheaper, he does always tend to have a stock in the house and that is really far too handy for him. In visiting him recently however, during the lovely warm weekend that most ...  Read the complete review

One of the cheapest branded lagers available and in my view still one of the best. I have been drinking Carling since I could first get served in the pub, and I still more often than not choose it before other more 'exclusive' brands such as San Miguel and Peroni. The big advantage to me about drinking Carling is that it doesn't bloat me ...  Read the complete review

Carling lager is a rather peculiar phenomenon on the British beer scene. It is without doubt one of the most popular brands of lager on the market with me yet to see a pub without an appropriately titled tap or a shop which does not have mountains of the stuff on sale. The reasons for this apparent popularity baffle me as the taste is ...  Read the complete review

I have never been much of a lager drinker. I prefer wine spritzer or cider. But of late I have enjoyed an ice cold lager at the end of a long day whilst sat out the garden. The summer evenings have turned me into a bit of a lager lover. But the lager that really 'floats my boat' is Carling. Carling lager is one of Britains ...  Read the complete review

Ah Carling, whenever I'm feeling a little patriotic at the pub I invariably end up deciding to give Carling "one more chance". Unfortunately it is always as bad as I remember it being. At 3.6% it is amongst the weakest mainstream beers on the market. It is similarly lacking in the taste department, having a very watery flavour. ...  Read the complete review

What a drink, for all the wrong reasons. It's absolutely incredible that someone could make such a tasteless beer out of such nice things as hops and barley. I remember a few years back when everyone was going through the binge drinking stage. We used to go to Tesco and buy a couple of crates of Carling at an outrageously low ...  Read the complete review

There are two reasons to drink alcohol; too savour the taste and appreciate it, and to get drunk (in the cheapest way possible). Carling belongs to the latter. Taste: I think it would be safe to assume that anybody that has drank Carling from a can would say it tastes very watery. This is true, the quality of the ...  Read the complete review

I have not always been a big beer fan. I used to only drink cider and could not stand beer. However after spending a few months in America, where cider is virtually non-existent I finally converted to beer. I am a fairly heavy drinker but cannot fully tell too much difference between various types of lagers. However I can defiantly say ...  Read the complete review

This is the the the lightest lager to currently drink on the market, as well as being one of the most popular and cheapest. In one way you can drink this like water because its brewing and low alchohol content make it the perfect option for anyone wanting to become a mellow drunk without any unusual side effects. The taste is ...  Read the complete review

Carling Black Label is possibly the most offensive lager known to mankind. It has a highly unpleasant, almost urine like bouquet and texture, and the can itself just makes it look look incredibly cheap and nasty, which it is. It s 4% ABV. and tastes weak, diluted and stale. Although very cheap (around £5.50 for eight 440ml cans, and ...  Read the complete review

I have long been a faithful drinker of the good stuff, ive enjoyed beers from around the world from african to australian. While i cant unfortunately claim that we in rainy old blighty have the worlds best beers there are certainly worse out there. When going to the pub carling is my pint of choice and the same goes for most of my ...  Read the complete review

I'm off on a weeks holiday tomorrow, so the last week has been a case of frantically trying to get organised - delivering guinea pigs and fish to various friends to be looked after, trying to get the fridge empty so I don't end up wasting food, washing, drying and then packing clothes . All this for a week in Sussex . So, ...  Read the complete review

Intro ------ Carling lager is definately the cheap of the cheap when it comes to Lager. It is a bearable product but i do not believe that it has anything on the more premium lagers such as Cobra or Peroni. However, you get what you pay for when it comes to lager and this is certainly true in this case. Carling is ...  Read the complete review
