Carlton Draught is the traditional flagship of Carlton & United Breweries, tracing back to the founding of the Carlton Brewery by English immigrant Edward Latham in 1864, and has since established itself as one of Australia's most popular and widely consumed lagers, supported by the iconic Clydesdale horses that have shaped the brand's visual heritage for generations. In the glass, this typically Australian lager appears crystal clear in a deep golden yellow with a fluffy, long-lasting white foam crown, while the nose combines mild, bready malt notes with slightly spicy and woody hop aromas. The taste starts crisp with a slightly sweet, lightly buttery malt base, shows mild bitterness with that spicy-woody note, and overall is very easy and uncomplicated to drink. Carlton Draught is the down-to-earth choice for anyone looking for an uncomplicated, easy-drinking, and thoroughly Australian lager with over 160 years of brewing tradition, which impresses equally at barbecues, in pubs, and social gatherings, as well as being a reliable classic on whose shoulders much of the modern Australian craft beer scene is built.
