BBB63 (3676), La Porte, Indiana, USA Apr 30, 2008 The dreaded Oil Can and served some it in a pint glass to judge appearance: Hum let me think, oh wait... Pale straw hue with a frothy head and actual sheets of lace. Then I took a smell, OMG what the hell is that? Not only smells like massive adjuncts but old used cooking oil from a deep fryer that is in need of a serious cleaning. If I could I would rate the aroma in the negative numbers.
So as I hold my breath I take a gulp... I am greeted by another OMG moment, something tastes sour and completely off about this "beer". At least the crappy beers I had before this were just bland and worthless, this is actually revolting. There is no way this was this bad when I drank these in the early 1980’s.... were they? At least the mouth feel here is a tad better than the past few pale lagers, it is not completely like water and a bit softer on the palate however it sure is not "full-bodied" as CUB claims. Another memory of youth completely shot to hell, thanks Fosters, thanks a lot. Bastards
joebudzjoe (77), USA Jul 16, 2008 One of the best macro pale lagers. Noticeable malt and slight hop flavors with a clean refreshing taste. In my opinion, more enjoyable than Bud or Heiniken. MrBeerFanatic (185), jamestown, New York, USA Jul 13, 2008 Bottle. Its actually not as bad as many other massed produced beer. Its got kind of a sweet lightly malty taste but nothing really else except a little skunkyness. I like it better than bud, labatt, bush and other big companies.... note666 (155), Eindhoven, Netherlands Jul 12, 2008 had it on holiday in England 07-07’08. 500 ml can. yellow colour. small white head. watery weaty tatste.

How do you expect me to write 75 characters about this ? carruthm (306), USA Jul 8, 2008 light yellow pour, for a pale mass produced lager it has some decent malts to it.
