Carling (Black Label) Lager

Please join me right now for a refreshingly wet, cold, long, twangy (it's your first one of the day, and you haven't sneaked a quiet one already) pint of Carling. Now I perfer it in a Carling imprinted special pint glass, others who are a real lady perhaps little nervous may perfer a half glass which is not as special as the pint glass:) but does the trick all the same. Today, I've gone a little crazy and have bought you a pint out of my own "Carling p up the wall account". This is an interactive experience that could catch on. Ok, lets start... Hold your horses....Now observe the subject ... more

My drink of choice is normally lager, although if you’ve read some of my past reviews, then Guinness and some odder speciality brews do appeal to me too. It’s not all beer though that passes my lips I must say – however here is a beer review! Carling is a long-standing lager available in the UK, and is a product of the Carling Brewing Company based in the traditional brewing town of Burton, Derbyshire. The Carling Company is part of the larger Bass Brewers group, a website of which can be found at, yes you’ve guessed it already – www.bassbrewers.com. Before I continue this is not my favourite ... more

The Finest british made premium lager with a sufficent volume of 4.1%. A few cans of this will do you better than Heineken, Heineken has a vol of 3.8% and this has 4.1% It says on the can made for a Full and Distinctive flavour. Distinctive it really is, its hard to explain although its like Tinkerbell in the back of your throat making your throat tingle with all her magic. Until you swallow it you dont accept any flavour! Its a great taste and is toatlly unique. I love Kronenbourg 1664, but the taste is completey different in both. I honestly dont know which I prefer! A keg of Carling would ... more

Carling Black Label, the taste of Britain apparently, I would prefer a tasty dinner but as far as lager goes, it tastes ok and my Mr. Happy Shopper man gives me them at an exceedingly good price. 8 pint cans for seven pounds sterling, not a bad swap! It tastes familiarly like other lagers. It Is 4.1% volume, so two halves of these will put you over the UK drink drive limit of two units. So beware. My Mr. Carling is alright, he stays dormant and chillied in my fridge. He causes me no trouble at all, until he calls me and I let him out on occasion. Lots of occasions actually, we do spend some ... more

im a lager sort of person, and carling is up there with the best of them. basically its almost completely the same as fosters, which is a good thing in that its highly drinkable and quite cheap. the only bad thing about this is the low alcohol content (4.1%) if youre at all bothererd by that. it does lack some of the fuller flavour of other lagers like stella artois and budweiser, but this doesnt matter too much considering its very easy to drink. a nice cold pint of it on a hot summers day is just the job, its a very refreshing lager. unfortunately as is often the case, the canned equivalent ... more
