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

Jul 5, 2008 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.

does not count  Jun 30, 2008 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.

Jun 28, 2008 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.

Jun 23, 2008 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.
