Not the best if you're going for great tasting beer. But if your aim is to get bolloxed, you can keep drinking this forever. Good stuff.

Can only be drunk when the other lagers are off or the only other option is Stella Artois (Scally Artois, Wife Beater - See other review). This lager is okay if the pipes are clean - soon as they get slightly dirty the flavour turns to fricking mould. Can on occasion smell like egg or toilet, but usually a bit sicky. Never the fuel of a pissed up night out - coz you can't fuel pissedness with piss itself. The drink of choice of young fisherman who clearly are misinformed about the joys of life, and probably have weils disease.

The flavor is the best thing about this beer. It has more bitternes/hops than most beers of the style. Fosters is more characteristic than the normal beers I drink.

Pretty poor lager, too much cabon dioxide, mass produced taste.

Nice, sweet finish. Very refreshing. At only 4% ABV though (British canned version) a little too weak.

This is popular in the UK for some reason. Warning - do not drink if there is an alternative (even water). Awful.

Dull, dull, dull, dull, DULL! A triumph of marketing not of brewing!

Singularly undistinguished, mass market beer. 1% weaker in the UK, and yet the taste is still the exact same level of crap.

Neither good nor bad, a reasonable low alcohol lager.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2005 Poor to average lager. Needs rerating.
