Its not that great of a beer. I only bought it once because the "Fosters: Australian for beer" commercial kept popping into my head.

shrubber85 (3740) - Wallhalben, Rheinland-Pfalz, Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - AUG 22, 2010
Can. Skunky barley malt aroma. Golden yellow color with large head. Slightly sweet honey and barley malt flavor with light hops finish. No surprises here.

Papsoe (17784) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - AUG 2, 2010
On tap. Clear deep golden with a creamy white head leaving a lovely lacework. Very neutral aroma - some indefinable brewing cereal. Light body, brewing cereal, metal and some sulphur. Very discreetly hopped. The appearance is the best part of this beer. 22010

JanEric (413) - Meppel, NETHERLANDS - JUL 11, 2010
Tap, in Brighton. It was cold and when it’s about 30 degrees Celsius you can put it to your head or pour it out over your head.

hayduke (1953) - Eureka, California, USA - JUL 7, 2010
Draft in Chester, England. This poured a dark amber color with a foamy white head. Light body and watery mouthfeel. Nose of very light floral hops. Very little flavor. Finish is bland. Very undistinguished.

Parket (372) - Bruges, BELGIUM - JUN 23, 2010
from tap, a pint. (higher rating maybe becaus it wasn’t from a can but from tap?), golden/yellow colour, very small and lacing white head. Smell: a bit industrial. Taste: smoothy, refreshing, grainy, fruity, a bit yeasty, strawberry, dry. Simular to a good pilsener.

sm89walt (788) - Norwich, Norfolk, ENGLAND - JUN 17, 2010
440ml can. Yellow with a foamy white, quickly disappearing head. Mildly malty aroma - fairly unnoticeable, grain & metal. A light, sweet and fruity maltiness in terms of flavour, but too thin and watery. Very mild bitterness and an abrupt finish. Lacks body and character and overcompensates with fizz.

dynamiteninja (168) - Richmond, ENGLAND - JUN 8, 2010
The Ralph FitzRandal, Richmond (Yorks). Not much on the nose, metal and water. Unnatural bright yellow-gold colour. Crisp and refreshing on the palate.
