Commercial Description:
Filtered and pasteurised. Available with added carbon dioxide in keg, can and bottled formats. First brewed in 1887.
Available in Britain as Export.
"A light-coloured lager style, it presents full malt character with a balanced clean hop bitterness. Combined with a slightly hoppy, but yeasty/malty nose, Foster's lager is a full bodied beer with excellent drinkability."

Slight honey spice nose. Light gold color, minimal head. Mellow honeysuckle sweetness, some clean bitterness pulling through. Good carbonation, clean finish. Pretty solid easy drinker for what it is.

It’s worthwhile for the novelty of the supersized can. Pale color with skunky aroma. Flavor not very enjoyable, but an easily drinkable beer nonetheless.

25oz can, drank straight from the can. Pale, straw color. Initial aroma is skunk. Should have guessed quickly that the flavor would be skunk, with a side of skunk. One of the most awful beers I have tasted. I suspect it was warmed extensively at some point. Carbonation dissipated before I finished the beer. An overall dissatisfying beer. Even if I was desperate to get drunk I would pass on this crap. Also: Not Australian for beer. What an insulting slogan.

Pretty bad tasting beer, but the 25 oz cans are the best in the beer section for boiling Brats. 1 can can handle a 5 pack of Johnsonville’s with ease.

(Bottle). Scant maltish aroma. Pale golden, small head. Clean mild taste, lots of carbonation. Not offensive, but not much going on.

Yellow colour, white head. Aroma has some faint hops. Flavour is metallic, malty and skunky.
