Review: Carling Black Label

Carling Black Label from South African Breweries plc
Rating: D

Probably the worst beer I had while in South Africa. Here goes:

Appearance is light honey, with a tiny head and no lacing at all. At least it's clear? Smell is nearly nonexistent. Tastes like corn, corn and more corn. Bitterness is very light, you can taste the alcohol. To its credit, the mouthfeel is smooth and there's no harshness to it, but probably because it's simply so light and watery. I drank this one slow - there are better alternatives available, no reason to ever pick this one, even if it has the "man-sized can" going for it.

Serving type: bottle
