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."

12 oz bottle. Smells like any American macro--cardboard, cheap adjuncts--terrible, in other words. Looks the same: yellow, a quickly dissappearing head, shit lacing. Actually tastes worse than most American macros. There’s a nasty stale grain taste to it not present in most beers of this ilk.

12 ounce bottle - $1.29 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours a clear, golden body with a foamy, frothy, white head. Smell: Sweet-smelling aroma with mere, vague hints of barley and little else. Taste: Sweet light pale malts with faint, fleeting grain hints. Incredibly small amount of floral hops and bitterness, leaving this one to finish sweet and somewhat crisp. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation. Drinkability: Pass this one by, folks. Foster’s has very little to offer beyond a simple, basic sweetness and some carbonation -- like a soda!

Fairly awful beer, very light bodied with a slight skunkiness that lingers on your taste buds afterward. Looks, smells, and tastes like shit.

On tap and oil can. Pours a clear light gold with a big persistent white head. The smell was mostly faint grainy malts. The taste is much like the smell, bland but bearable.

Light straw color; Light to medium body; Aroma & flavor of malt, grain and light hops; Very slight bitter finish; Overall, not bad - about average for me.

25oz Can. Really clear light golden color, decent head retention. Dominant corn smell. Corny/ricey flavor, no detectable bitterness (used to high ibu though). Little to no mouthfeel, medium carbonation.

Oil Can. Pours a dark corny color with a white fizzy head. Nose is light corn and a hint of sweet corn notes. Palate is thin and fizzy. Flavors of light corn and some grain. meh

Fosters is pretty much the most nondescript beer fathomable. Pours a yolk colored pint with a frothy white top. The taste is like someone packed the cans with carbonated water, forgot the ingredients of the actual beer, then feverishly shipped them throughout the world. I’m dedicated to believing that Fosters actually hydrated me at one point. A bubbly, unoriginal brew that has less kick than a ginger ale. Pass on this one.
