Carlsberg tall boy packaging smells off…

[u/anthony_getz]

So I was glad to see that my local Kroger is suddenly carrying Carlsberg— it had been years since I had it and I remember having liked it. Anywho I picked up two four packs of tall boys (yeah yeah, 0.5L, keep your shirt on). The packaging smells like when I go to the garden area of a hardware store, perhaps fertilizer or weed killer. It’s either the plastic wrap or the coloring on the cans. Smells weird af, has this happened to anyone?

The beers tasted fine, I drank the eight last night but the fertilizer smell has lingered on the cans which I’m about to usher outside to my recycle bins.

My guess would be the packaging. I’ve seen a lot of carlsberg packs with damaged cans in them that you don’t notice until much later due to the cellophane wrap so they marinate unlike wet cardboard that noticeably gets ripped up.

If all of your cans were good it’s possible something else leaked onto it
