Carling Black Label has been quenching South Africans’ thirst for over 40 years. As one of the most awarded beers in the world, it has built a reputation which is hard to ignore.
A quality brew The beer itself is one of the stronger lagers in South Africa with a clean, refreshing taste. It has a spicy hoppiness complemented by lightly kilned malted barley. There are also subtle fruity notes in the aroma and taste, adding to the depth of the beer. A dense white head and straw-coloured body characterise it.

Bottled. A light golden with beige head. The aroma is fruity with some dusty hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of dusty hops, citrus, and hints of metal. The body is thin and the finish metallic bitter.

(Bottle 34 cl) Clear golden with a dense, white head. Sweet aroma of brewing cereal. Medium body with sweet corn and a somewhat crude bitterness in the finish. A rather primitive Pale Lager. 030508

Can (thanks, MoritzF): Clear, pale golden, mid-sized stable fluffy white head; grainy nose; light sweetish flavour, light bodied to watery; a faint citrousy fruitiness in the short finish, illusion of bitterness in the aftertaste...... Bland !

Pale yellow. Fizzy, sweet and bland. This succeeds to be even more boring than the rest of the SAB line.
