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.

500 ml can, I think it was from Seiyu. Pours clear light amber, some foam that even leaves lacings. Nose has corn, wet cardboard, stuffy biscuits. Tastes sweet, bitterness very light, average carbonation, biscuity and watery. No real aftertaste, maybe just a bit of plasticky feel lingering. Not really pleasant to drink, too characterless.

Bottle, 0.5l. Clear golden pour with two finger soapy white head. Ok retention and lacing. Malty, grainy smell, not imposing, a bit grassy. Thin body, softly carbonated. Very watery. Empty and bland. Malty sweet, almost no bitterness. Aroma of malts, hay and grass. Heavily watered down lager. Overall, weak and watered down lager. Pretty much fails as a beer, but if you look at it as a malt flavored carbonated water - it’s not so bad. Meh.

Pint at the Rock, Cambridge. well I’ve drunk almost everything in here, so desperate ticks call for desperate measures. Darkish gold with a big white head. The head settles quickly and leaves some sort of odd film. Smells of naked malt and salty sweaty lemon. Doesn’t taste of much, like alcoholic barley water, but the aftertaste has some odd plastic citrus note. Its actually not actively bad, but certainly disappointing, although I have no idea why I may have expected better...
