Carlton Cold Ultra Chill
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008
A relatively new beer on the Australian market and from what I have heard a lot of people dislike this brew but I actually don’t think it’s that bad. For a mainstream beer with an alcohol volume of 6.5% it goes down alright. I would love to give you an insight into the unique ultrachill innovation that this beer is brewed with but it would seem that Carlton United Breweries who are owned by the Fosters Group are keeping it under raps, either that or it is a wild marketing ploy with no substance.
I am unsure weather it was from my test beer being chilled in the freezer an hour prior to drinking it or weather it is actually the beer itself, but after every sip it left my mouth with a numbing feeling similar to that after a swig of Listerine in the morning. The taste is very smooth and personally it tastes better then it’s less alcoholic brother Carlton Cold. It has a subtle sweet aroma and a medium yellow appearance. As for its nutritional value is has only .2 more calories per 100ml then the standard Carlton Cold, which is quite impressive since there is a 1.9% difference in alcohol per volume.
Having only tried the one bottle of this brew I can tell you it does go down well when served ice cold but as for making a night of it, I’ll let you decide on that one.

Hi All,
I made the mistake and bought six. Agreed, the first one was interesting (it was still well chilled from the bottelo).
However, the rest of the pac was disgusting.
It was like drinking beer and brushing your teeth at the same time. The sweet aroma is then getting really nauseating esp. if the beer is not served ice-cold.
Don’t we all know that we can drink anything, as long as it is really icy as the tastebuds do not give us a response.
Seriously, keep your hands off or if you really want to try go for a SINGLE bottle.
Hi there,
My husband loves this beer we live in Queensland just wondering who stocks this?
