Puszka 0,5 litra, zakupiona w Anglii przez mojego kolegę. Barwa jasno-złota, klarowna. Średniej wysokości, biala piana. Aromat nikły, z praktycznie niewyczuwalnym chmielem. W smaku niestety wodniste i z zerową goryczką.
Rubbish mass-produced cheap not really cheerful low alcoholic pee water. Nothing special about it
Doesn’t deserve 0.5, bland, nasty and cheap. Enough said
A student staple across the UK. Nothing to write home about, but not the worst mass lager imho. Easy drinking if ice cold on a hot day when thirsty.
Clear, light yellow. Mild aroma of bitterness and some malt. Very clean beer taste. Looks like a lager, tastes like a lager, must be a lager.
First tried on tap in the UK. Not so bad, refreshing stuff. Not the best canned tho.
Too be honest, I’ve had worse. It’s just a crap, uninspiring pils rather than anything offensive. Not too adjuncty, not too sweet. Just dull as anything.
If you think Carling is bad then don't even attempt to try this beer out instead. You'll be very disappointed. Terrible, bland, watery beer that has faint if not no malt flavour at all
Great beer. Not quite as good as the fuller strength Aussie version but still superb.
The worst of the worst mass sold beer on the market.
Delicious 80p - £1 Max beer - great for glugging whilst cold then leaving half of on the step of your mates place.
A veritable treat for the senses. Crisp golden nectar with a delicate hint of hop and (dare I say) Australian outback notes. Much under-rated and certainly my go-to generic in a can lager. Lovely stuff
Consistent, golden textured delightful morning lager from our Australian cousins who are more interested in making delicious beer than silly ad campaigns.
Excellent session beer. Has never failed me. Not like punk IPA madness, can happily have 5-6 of these without starting an unjustified fight. Highly recommend.
Parfait pour suivre la finale de coupe du monde 2018. Bien fraîche, c'est exactement ce dont j'avais envie.
Can, 0.5 L. Light amber/deep golden, good carbonation and quite good foam (i could't pour into the glass cz the foam was so big), stays some on top, but medium-bubbly, and disappearing in 30secs. Weak aromas of sweet malt, but very very faint. Taste is weak also, just CO2 and very neutral. The only positive thing is the foam - let's say. Otherwise it is a big nothing. I can't believe why i liked it so much before... update: mine was 5% ABV, but EU Fosters should be just 4%. So if the barcode says it's UK Fosters it should be 4% right? So i don't know what's happening, but i had a competative tasting w/ Heineken, and i will never buy Fosters again. Not bad but why i should give money for this if i can drink Heineken?
Van tap in Londen. Wat waterig & neutraal, zoettonen. (7-2016).------------.
Keg at the Hibs social club. Pours golden, nose is sweaty, lemon, grass, taste is sweet toffee, floral, cereal.
Et ganske godt øl, passer til det meste av mat. Også behagelig som tørstedrikk.
This should be banned in the UK. No one appreciates this tasteless piss water, Theresa May.. sort it out.
Bardzo rozwodnione, troszkę czuć słód i właściwie nic poza tym, wyjątkowo wodnisty i nijaki lager.
Leaves your mouth dry after drinking it. It's only point is if you are drinking in loads of pubs your guaranteed to be able to drink this or an identical pint of Carling or Carlsberg so you'll not be mixing your drink on a Pub Crawl
On tap at Spread Eagle London. Clear Golden with big white head. Malts and hops. Kinda Sweet.
Brilliant
440 my can. clear yellow color almost without no head. Smells some kind light hops. taste are dominant soft water with some kind low beer taste. just so far to low in taste and no aftertaste.
Pours a clear light golden colour with high carbonation. Aromas are bready, malty, slightly sweet with negligible hops. Taste is crisp and refreshing thanks to the malt sweetness and high carbonation, but lacking any real depth of flavour. Ticks the box as a drinkable mainstream lager, but nothing special.
Bottle. Backlog rating from my bottle collection and historic scoring. Source not recorded. Tasting notes not kept, just rating.
Tap @The Wheatsheaf, Oxford [24/11/17]. Clear pale golden, small soapy white head, mostly diminishing, fair lacing; aroma sweet malts, corn, hay; taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, grainy, cardboard, light hops; medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation, average carbonation; just a lager.
Draught pint in Walkabout, Lincoln on 24th Nov 2017. Cold, wet and golden, white crown held for a while before turning into a wisp and collar. Refreshing enough, slight citrus leanings flavour wise, but not a drink for a cold November afternoon in Lincoln.
Not a lot of difference with the normal Fosters, maybe a bit sweet, but again, boring and uninspiring.
