Carling

What does it taste like? Can anyone describe it?

I drink John Smiths and was wondering if they was similar or are they completely different?

Just want to get an idea of what it tastes like as I don't know whether to try it, but I guess you don't know these things till you try them. lol.

We need that old bag with curley blonde hair off that old program "Food & Drink"
to describe it im affraid.

Beer

If it was calton then i could tell you

IU cant remember if ive had Carling or not

It's a pretty rubbish lager. John Smiths being a pretty rubbish bitter, I'm finding them difficult to compare.

It tastes quite bad. Why are you so keen to try it? Have you tried any other cheapish lagers? It tastes a lot like them.

Scam · 30 Jan 2007 at 17:53

Um.. just go and try it :\

It tastes like pap. It's generally the cheapest, nastiest lager going, reserved only for the lager louts who want to have 20 bottles and vomit all over their white NEXT shirts.

its quite a generic larger flavor - imagine the john smiths without the slightly bitter taste, and any of the flavor (not that there is much) and you'll have it

Rotty · 30 Jan 2007 at 17:54

er one's a lager and one's a bitter unless I am seriously missing something here :confused:

Go to toilet in a bottle, water it down a touch with some tap water. Stick it in the fridge and drink it when its nice and cold. Will taste exactly the same as Carling!

Yup, it tastes like lager, brewed with urine instead of water.

Not Fosters

I could sugest an Ale but your not asking for one. Do you want to know an Ale?

BTW you might find something in the Cascade range or Boags

Go on then, I was looking at the JD Weatherspoons websites at their different varieties of boozes.

I'm not a huge lager drinker but two I do like are Skinners Lager (formerly Cornish Storm) and Samuel Smiths. Both are all natural lagers, about as strong as Stella but without the chemicals.

As for bitter, Any of the Skinners and Sharps Ales (You can tell I'm from Cornwall) but when I'm at uni in Bournemouth I drink Spitfire, Badger or Ringwood ales.

The thing with ales is that you generally get different breweries in different areas so it's quite hard to say unless you're in the same part of the country.

spoons tend to have a pretty decent selection of international beers (inc VB zip

) Just work your way through them all, preferably not in one sitting

Corona wins...

other personal favourites are Miller and Kronenbourg 1664.

I will drink Grolsch if forced.

Guinness gets first place over any lagers when im out though, but you wanted lagers
