Pours clear copper with off white head. Malty aroma with some grassy hops. Slightly sweet malt flavor with a little hop bitterness. Medium body with average carbonation. Not bad for a macro and definately better than their lager.

Revised rating, 1-28-08 Drunk from the oil can, this is a much more interesting beer. Less skunk, less cabbage, and a nice sharp bitterness. For such a commonly available beer, there are not a lot of ratings, so let’s encourage a few more. Original rating: 6-25-07 .75 L [that’s 24.5 oz] "oil can," made in Canada. First off, these Foster’s Oil Cans are not designed for pouring into a glass without dribbling over. Okay. Coppery pale ale color, decent half-inch head, busy streams of bubbles. Cooked cabbage smell, though. Taste may actually be intended more toward our idea of a Bitter than a Pale Ale. Either way, it’s sorely underdone. For its color, it still tastes less hearty than some Pilsners I’ve known. Nothing distinguishing about its bitterness. Intended as a lower-alcohol session beer, I suppose, but thin taste does not invite lingering over it. I feel as though I could slam the whole can and not remember having tasted anything an hour later.
