2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Nice light malt flavor, strawberry blond hue, very easy drinking. Doesn’t resemble a lot of English Bitters. Very smooth!

Why is this so carbonated? Anyway, this is a bad beer. what else can I say that its score doesn’t.

Greatly superior to regular Foster’s. Notwithstanding this fact, it’s still mediocre.

Well I love bitters, but I have drank much better than this one. It is not the worst bitter I have ever had though, it does however have a nice clean taste to it, but not the dry bite I was used to that most bitters produce. I want to try it one more time however.

oh, i dunno, it’s not so bad. i was thirsty, took a sip... that seemed okay. then i found a stick and jammed it in my eye... ouch. not okay. so, choosing between those two, i’d have to go with the fosters. the amber color is superfluous since there’s nothing in the flavor suggestive of a dark malty wort. the head was perfunctory with cobwebby bubbles. some diet pretzels in the aroma, a bit of orange kool-aid. flavor is okay, nothing offensive, goes down smooth, and stays down. light bodied, watery at the edges, kinda ritz crackery, tho a little sweeter. there IS that moderate bitterness, but it’s not apparent that it derives from hops-- could just as well have come from the judicious addition of a few rusty hubcaps and horseshoes.

This is much better than regular Fosters. It’s not especially bitter, but it’s surprisingly good.

This was especially not bitter. I actually enjoyed this one when I don’t tend to like bitter beers. A nice balance of ingredients.

Pretty good stuff, certainly better than the blue cans. Good head, bit of an aftertaste, but overall a nice smooth brew. Slight skunky smell, but not overpowering.
3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
I was surprised. For a fosters beer this was actually quite good.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
This was definitely better than I was expecting, although it was not very special or bitter. Brownish orange with a very thick foamy head that dissipated quicker than I expected. Light hops aroma. Flavor was really not bitter in any way, it was rather mellow with a malt presence. A little tinny and thin which I WAS expecting. Dry, lightly fruity finish. Overall I think if they tweaked this one a little it would be worth another try but as it stands it is kind of mundane.
