Carlton Cold Filtered
Product of Australia, by Foster’s. S$3.95, 375ml bottle @ 4.6% ABV. Got this from Cold Storage Funan Mall.
One of Foster’s innovative and successful brand launches of the early 90s, first to be cold-filtered and packaged in clear glass as claimed by them.
Early 90s? I think I will not take clear bottled beer for granted anymore, however, it does make sense to use clear bottle after you’re able to remove undesired yeast, proteins or other impurities using “cold-filter”. Never thought of they use similiar technique as “chill-filtration” in whisky industry.
Bright copper colour.
Clean, malty nose.
Nothing much on palate except for more malt with some ricey sweetness. Medium-bodied, slightly higher density in the mouthfeel than other lager.
Fruity with hoppy finish.
This beer tasted like any brews with rice added to me.
