Carling Black Label developed as a brand in 1927 from the Canadian brewery Carling O’Keefe's existing Black & White Lager. It was introduced into the UK in 1952. The brand became hugely successful in the UK via a very popular ad campaign with the slogan "I bet he drinks Carling Black Label". The name changed from Carling Black Label to Carling, with the subtitle Original Lager, in 1997.

I have decided to try some of the worst lagers I have experienced again to be able to tick them off on here and get them out of the way. There is clearly something wrong with me. Anyway… 440ml can. Clear golden and overtly gassy. I struggled to get an aroma, so much so that I got too close and some of it went up my nose. It cleared my nostrils out through and I got a faint air of sweet malt and a hint of citrus. Tastes of light malt, a hint of sweetness, and then a light bitterness which surprisingly holds its form considering. Watery but not as bad as Sol. It’s a bad lager but strangely I was expecting worse. Its not too bad ice cold on a summer day.

Draught at some pub. Clear golden colour with a thin, white head. Sweet aroma with pale malts, light chalky, citrus and grasses. Taste is light sweet. Light to medium bodied. Slightly drying finish. Ordinary macro swill.

Bottle, from historic notes. Source not recorded. Poured pale gold with a fizzy white head. Aroma of wet straw, light citrus, malt and hop. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Light body, watery texture, above average carbonation. Not enjoyable.
