Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 New lager from Carling, it's only 2%. They are branding it as a "mid-strength beer". Had a two or three cans last night, it's alright for supping (no worse than the usual fosters/carling/calsberg out-of-a-tin stuff). Quite a good idea for drinking on a work night I reckon. I used to like it when lagers were only about 3% and you could drink them all night and not get wrecked or have a hangover. Got to take it a bit steadier with the 4-5% stuff midweek.

ewerk 26793 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Its been out for a while now. Ordinary Carling is bad enough, I dread to think that this tastes like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14136 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Depends how much it costs I suppose. If it's the same as a regular pint, is your manliness really that important that you can't sip on a J20 all night instead? (On second thoughts, that's our Steve's tipple of choice, so...)

The Fish 9221 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) tried it and really didn't like it. But to be fair I'm falling out of love with lager more and more...

Ally 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yeh i've seen it down the Student Union. Can see why they've released it and it will certainly have a market, but I don't think students is the best tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cheaper. I think the point of it is if you fancy a beer but don't fancy getting mortalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9221 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 If I'm driving I don't drink, if I'm trying to cut down then I'll just get a Lime and Lemonade. can't really see a time when I'd choose this over the other three options.

Renton 18038 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Pointless. There's not enough alcohol to get pissed in that, but still enough to significantly count to your alcohol intake if you drink a few cans. Better of with water or tea. It reminds me of when I was a student and tried to get pissed on "Trent bitter" (ABV 3.0%). I drank 20 cans and the only thing I felt was a need to go for a piss every ten minutes.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I was in a pub in Scotland one teatime, and these Americans came in (dressed ott in golf gear as you'd expect) and they asked the barman if he had any 'light beer'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused. you're right though it seems like a fucking waste of time, too much alcohol to enjoy irresponsibly and not enough to actually enjoy...

I've always wondered what 'light beer' is. I've seen Coors about but never bought it, think thats one. Is it light as in less alcohol or some kind of 'diet' beer? Speaking of which, saw diet Bacardi Breezers advertised the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I believe it's beer with less calories in it, so diet beer sort of.
