Foster's Lager
Foster's Group Limited

Presentation: 25.4 ounce can poured into a pint glass

Look: Rich golden color. Small foamy head. Looks better than other comparable beers.

Smell: Grainy, cereal like smell. Minor hops odor.

Taste: Grainy, cereal taste to begin with, and a bitter hops aftertaste. The taste is distinct and enjoyable.

Feel: Mouth feel is decent. Smooth with a bit of a seltzer feel at the end.

Overall it is a respectable lager. Nothing remarkable about it but it has a distinct taste which sets it apart from other similarly priced beers. I'd recommend this beer if you're on a budget, but still want a flavorful lager.

 

 

This was not a terrible lager. It was reasonably dry, without the corruption of sweeter cereal grains. The body was well carbonated, with the carbonation, being very visible. The grains that came in the initial, lead to a clean, dry finish. On a hot day, this would be exceptionally drinkable.

 

Pours out of the enormous can a crystal clear gold with an inch of head that dissipates quickly. Smells malty with a bit of sweetness. Taste follows the nose well with a good solid mouthfeel. I was expecting a "bad beer" from my peers' opinions about it, but I actually kinda liked it.

 

This beer is very delicious. Yeah it's relatively cheap but it's a very good tasting lager. An a matter of fact it's my favorite beer now. It comes in a 25 oz. can and it's just a great lager. Not too hoppy and goes down good. I recomend this to anyone who likes just a neutral tasting lager beer. It gives you the buzz you want but the hangover isn't any worse than some of the others I've drank.. Try it. You'll probably like itl....

From a 750ml can. Hard to pour, I guess you're just supposed to drink it out of the can. Clear golden color with white foamy head. Smells of light grain and straw. Light body. Earthy grain flavor. Basic macro lager. Nothing really stands out.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours straw yellow orange with a fluffy white head. Smells of cereal grain, not too strong but not too weak. Tastes of cereal grain. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, an average beer.

 

 

Foster's Lager, 5% ABV. Pours golden with a 5-finger white head that left great lacing. Nose is malty and sweet. Taste follows, plus slight grain and bitterness. Decent mouthfeel, overall very good. Be sure to say "Foster's" with an Australian accent.

 

average lager, 5 percent abv. good head on a hard pour into 500 ml pilsner urquell glass. good retention, good lacing, fair taste. clean, possibly a tad sweeter than your average american macro style lager. inoffensive, would pick up again.

Its a nice refreshing beer with a corny taste. Nothing special just a typical lager you can drink with a pizza or burger.

Very light golden color with a large white head that goes away quickly. Very carbonated. Has a skunky light hop smell. Tastes grainy but very watered down. Not at all what I remember from my younger days.

25 oz can

Brewed in the US which was a bummer to find out.

Pours yellow with a fair head.
Smell is sweet, light and almost sharp.
Very effervescent but doesn't linger.

Honestly, it's my go-to macro beer and I enjoy it as such.

 

2003: (330 ml bottle, ABV 4.5%): Light golden colour, large head that doesn't last long. Initial fresh Heineken-like aroma that doesn't linger, bland watery flavour, aftertaste has a little strange and unpleasant bitterness in the end. So boring they could have named it "Neville Chamberlain".

25oz can

Pours over a finger of pillowy, slightly fizzy white head into my Kolsch glass. Retention is decent for a macro, the head hangs around a minute or two, but surely fades soon enough. Initial lacing actually looks ok as well.

Nose is pretty standard, light malt, corn, some sweetness.

Flavor has some light maltiness, faint corn, very one dimensional. No hop flavor to speak of, but what do you expect? That said, it's actually not bad, pretty clean.

Carbonation is on the higher side. Light, but has a little body. Not bone dry like some lagers, this has a little sweetness to it. Bitterness is barely there. Overall a serviceable mouthfeel.

Drinkability is great.

Appearance turned out ok. Lacing just barely held on.

This isn't exceptional, but "clean" is ahead of the curve for a macro. Overall it's unoffensive and easy drinking. Not bad.

If you want beer that tastes like corn and nothing else, then this is the beer for you. Not the worst beer, but probably never going to get it again in the future. I had this out of a can so maybe the bottle is different though.

 

 

 

No idea how I never did review this stuff. The iconic oil cans were a big draw for my teen self to feel like I was drinking a grown-up beer. This stuff's not that great, even in the AAL world when compared up against the likes of PBR or Bud.

750 ml can poured into a tumbler style pint glass.
Brewed in Texas.

Looks and smells decent but taste and mouthfeel are poor. Malty and grainy, not sweet, rather astringent. Highly carbonated, crisp with harsh alcoholic bite. Seems below average even for an Adjunct Lager.

 

 

750ml can

This is the beer I used to steal from my dad when I was [REDACTED] years old, grabbing out of the minifridge while controlling each smooth muscle movement as to not let any sound penetrate up into the upper caverns of my old suburban household. It was just okay back then, now it is pretty awful, caramel malts that are astringent and slick on the tongue, basically tastes like grain and cheap cereal, along with a half shot of even cheaper vodka. Ugh

 

Not sure why but the name and look really speak to me. Also it’s Australian so that’s cool. Just looks like an old oil can or what I assume they used to look like. Either way, I approve even if it’s just an adjunct, if your drunk enough anything will taste good.

Edit: good is comparative, it taste like oily sandy mud but much better than many other adjuncts. Also cool can.

Good maintenance beer for the masses.

 

 

Pretty solid. Would drink again. Malty and sweet. Almost no bitterness. Not nearly as bad as I expected.

 

This beer I liked early on until I realized all the stuff in it like corn syrup

 

Look is very good for an adjunct 3ish finger head on first pour out of the 750mL can. Laces when I drink pretty well and is a darker straw color but still pretty pale.

Smell gives away some macro properties and has an odd metallic off smell, but the malt comes through, the off smell could be the hops but other than that no standard hop smell detected.

The taste is mild sweet and grainy in a good way if you like malts with a hint of hop bitterness befor the sweet finale, but again the hops are just hinted at.

Feel is smooth and soft, easy to drink, but clearly not light. Very foamy once you sip but in a good way, not overwhelming.

Overall it's good for the price point, about 3 bucks at a neighborhood liquor store. For the only way to get it being in a single 750ml can it's pretty good, but still not super interesting. I would drink again every few months for the novelty of the can.
