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."

Ok, it’s slightly better than american lagers, but this doesn’t match anything that comes out of Europe. Good beer if I lived in 100 degrees of dry heat every day, but I don’t.

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.

Yellow color with a thick white head. Faint aroma of sweet hops. Slight flavor of malts and spices, smooth with a crisp finish. Impressed that there was absolutely no skunkiness to this beer even as it warmed up.
