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."

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

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.

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....

light yellow pour, for a pale mass produced lager it has some decent malts to it.
