From Dec 2006

Poured from 12oz bottle a clear light gold with a medium sized head of foam that shrank quickly leaving a fine broken layer.

The smell has a bit of hops and malt that I've smelled before in many a macro brew. Not impressive at all.

The taste has a bitter-malt buttery flavour to it. If I had tasted this blindfolded, I'd just know it was an Australian brew. Hey, it was a staple of mine back in the early 70s when I lived in Australia.;^)
The finish is not good at all and when the aftertaste finally left my palate, I was a happy camper.

After a few more sips, I find myself saying...yeah I'm glad I got to try this again but I'm certainly glad my palate has evolved in the right direction. I think I'd prefer a Canadian brewed Fosters over this.

Bottom line: I couldn't give a very descriptive review of this beer cuz not a lot was happening with it. *Another* old favourite bites the dust. :^(

Can thanks to @@ron. Pours clear golden, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is corny, grassy, grainy. Flavor is light sweet, and light bitter. LIght body. Pretty standard adjunct lager.

On tap. Pours amber. Sharp acidity, touch of lemon, quite a bit of stale bread. Thin and highly carbonated. Pretty unpleasant.
