Fosters Lager

Pros: Thirst quenching
Cons: Not much flavour.

Once again I stopped at my local 7/11 convenience store and grabbed a beer to have at home before dinner. This time I went for one of those big A cans that holds 25 ozs. That's perfect for me when I'm thirsty because it's big enough to quench the thirst ...

Pros: Very drinkable, the big cans are a treat packed in ice on a hot day.
Cons: Not a lot of flavor, green apple flavor as it warms.

I love those Foster’s commercials you see on TV, usually during sporting events. You know the ones I’m talking about. They start out with some comic situation and then end up with the words: “Foster’s. Australian for Beeeee-yaaaaa.” Come to think...

Pros: Lighter, so it isn't very Filling
Cons: Smell; Taste

Foster's Brewing CO. was founded by the Foster brothers in 1888 and it is now owned by Carlton & United Breweries, LTD., one of the world's largest brewing companies. Foster's Lager was brewed in Australia at first, but now it is brewed in...

Pros: Inoffensive, wet, good TV ads
Cons: More expensive than water

There are many beer drinkers out there who don't care one little bit about subtle nuances in style and ingredients, they want a consistent flavour at a respectable price.

Fosters Lager, the most internationally recognised beer from...

Pros: Distinct taste, Refreshing, Widely available
Cons: There are better Lagers available

G' Day mates, especially those from downunder and all across America and the world wide web, who are honoring our friend Smithwoodside in today's beverage write-off. What can I say about Epinion's resident philosopher and humorist that...

Pros: Good taste, powerful punch
Cons: Confounds tastes of other beers

I don’t know if it’s the oil can or if this stuff is really stronger than other beers, but I’m on my third, and I think I’d best get this review writ, before the moving hand moves on, or however that mixture of metaphors goes.

Actually, if...

Pros: Cool refreshing taste. Twist off cap.
Cons: Clearly made and bottled in Canada - not quite Australia.

I’m slightly surprised that SMITHSWOODSIDE hasn’t written a review on Fosters – Australian for Beer. I mean, this is a man who knows everything there is to know about Australia and what it means to be an Australian. But, I forgive him. If not,...

Pros: good, mid strength beer
Cons: not the best Australian beer

I am sipping on a Fosters Lager 355ml bottle, or ‘stubbie’ as it is called in its country of origin Australia. The label says "Australia’s classic beer since 1888".It carries a logo describing it as sponsor to the Melbourne Grande Prix....

Pros: Widely available, refreshing, smooth, easy to drink.
Cons: No real dryness, pretty simple and straightforward. As import too expensive.

Here we were at the Greek Theater in LA for the “Brotherly Love” trio, Spacehog, Oasis and Black Crows. I was actually only there to see Oasis, although I won’t say anymore as my wife wrote a review (the link is at the bottom of this page).

My...

Pros: It's cheap
Cons: It's still not worth the money

Those readers who haven’t been to England for a few years probably have a slightly dated view of the English Pub. Yes we do still have some small independently owned Freehouses but most pubs are owned by the brewery, or increasingly by a large...

Pros: Finishes cleanly, tastes pretty darn good
Cons: Not in the same league with premium beers

Well, I've been looking at what other people have written about this beer, and I'm a bit confused. "Ooooh," I've read. "It tastes like Budweiser." Also, I've seen, "This stuff isn't even brewed in Australia. It's brewed in...

Pros: Light body; easy to drink; great beer for social situations
Cons: flat taste; becomes less smooth as it warms; should only be drunk ice cold

Since I’m nearly a decade too late in reviewing this particular beer, I think it goes without saying that Foster’s is not truly an Australian imported beer, but a Canadian brew of an Australian recipe based on a generic American-style lager. ...

Pros: nicely-sized can; drink two or three of these cans and you are drunk...
Cons: over-priced, slightly “off” flavor, import version of this beer is actually of Canadian origin

If you buy this beer in America, chances are that it is not from Australia. Rather, it probably was brewed and imported from Canada, where is it produced by FBG Breweries in Toronto, under the “supervision” of Carlton & United Breweries -- the...

Pros: Neat can
Cons: Poor example of light American lager.

Let's be honest and objective for a minute. When you strip away the fancy big can and the great commercials, Fosters is just one example of a beer style known as light American lager. Other examples include all American Premium beers, all Mexican beers...

Pros: Unexpectedly full flavor, thirst quencher
Cons: Price, not quite as good a microbrews

Foster's Lager is the ultimate in-betweener. On one side we have the popular American macrobrews Bud, Miller and Coors, as well as the even worse beers like Keystone, Pabst and (gulp) malt liquors like Mickey's. On the other side we have...
