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."

Smelled skunky and had much more of a bread taste than other American Macros I’ve had. This isn’t really my style of beer, but in respect to its competitors it’s not that bad.

Had this at Outback, wanted to give it a try, a friend told me it wasnt good. He was so very right, overly sweet, didnt even taste like any beer ive tried so far. Id have rather had a Bud Light. This is bad, very, very bad. Its been two and a half hours and I can still taste the aftertaste.....ughh

Can, 500 ml, 11 P
Appearance: Pours amber, shiny, well filtered and clean body, the colour of it is quite intense and impressive as for a Pale Lager. Carbonation is soft, gentle, head is initially medium, frothy, than decreases giving very nice lacing that is fair noticable. Body is clear and looks thin to medium, head is snowy white.
Aroma: Alcoholic nose with oily altyness and corn. Corny and syrupy, chalky and dusty, dull, cardboard, some hops on the top, oily, yeasty, mild - creamy, later on a bit grainy (like corn grains). Aroma is not so weak, and well noticable as for a Plae Lager.
Flavour: Mineral, salty a bit, soft water, watered - hoppy nose, very soft carbonation, flat beer, not much sweetness, corny a lot but not disturbing, drinkable, seasion beer. Rather one dimentional, impression of popcorn aftertaste, chalky, a bit yeasty, dry, parched aftertaste is becoming unpleasant. Finish is short.
Palate: Texture is wattery, body is light, carbonation on plate is soft, finih feel is parched, chalky, almost non - alcoholic. Finish feel is chalky, dry, parched.

12oz. Surprisingly dark pour for a beer of this nature. Nose is mostly corn and some malt. Flavor follows with some notion of a creaminess from the soft carbonation. If I’m going to drink something like this it has to at least have some heavy carbonation. I’ll pass.

Not great. Had in a can. Aroma is skunky and corn hinted. There is a bad aftertaste which lingers for a while. The appearance of the beer although unimpressive is more impressive than its taste and flavour- a pale straw lager with a medium head which completely dissipates quickly.
