Half pint draught at Tolbooth Tavern in Edinburgh watching the rugby match between Scotland and South Africa (10-14, I think). It is not so much to say about this clear golden beer. Perfumed smell followed by the taste of sweet hard water, maybe a few hints of lemon. Rather tasteless [15.11.2008].

Draft, Heathrow terminal 4, Whetherspoon. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Light cornish an bitter aroma. Light grassy and bitter flavoured. A bit bland to be honest. Ends sight watery and vague bitter. Leaving a nice lacing on the glass.

[on tap at Chronicles, Reading] A bit of history this - Fosters was the first beer I ever bought in a pub, at the tender age of 15. I drank this for about a year, before swiftly moving through cider and onto bitter and real ale. Now, 18 years later I was forced into trying it again through being in a pub with no other beers that I hadn’t already rated. It pours a pale yet dirty gold, with a moderate lasting head. The smell is vaguely stale, even though from the taste it clearly wasn’t. Tastes of corn and cardboard, with slight hints of citrus, malt and some wheat dust. But these really are hints - the overall impression is of fizzy water. It is one of the sweeter lagers - which explains how I was able to get into it easily as a teenager. And as a definite plus, there’s none of the metal in the aftertaste which characterises so many keg beers. Overall, it’s very bland, but easy to drink, and there’s nothing actually unpleasant about it to make you ditch it - but then there’s nothing to make you buy another pint either! There are far worse pale lagers out there...

Bottled(330ml). -Malty, lemony and corny with soft carbonation and sourish finish. Crap.

Canned(500ml). -Had this before few years and unfortunately a week before in London. Watery and bready aroma with notes of metal and just tiny hint of hops int the finish. Easy drinkable but bad.

330ml bottle @ Cardinal (sampled from someone else’s bottle, not the kind of beer to purchase when visiting Cardinal). Golden body with a foamy white head. Aroma is to much citrus/lime and no beer. Flavor is not balanced at all, its sticky, sour and vapid. Rather thin body and not much reminding of beer at all.

Bottle. Clear, golden, with a small, white head. Lemony and slightly malty aroma and flavor. Thin body, and lemony finish. A real waste of money, unless you normally don’t drink beer, but like the lemon taste. (070704)

bottle. Yellow/ Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is malt behind lime and citrus. flavour is lime, citrus, malt . Not my kind of beer.

Weak lager. Yellowish colour with little aroma. Watery tasting with an unpleasant chemical aftertaste. A serious contender for my least favourite beer.

The highlight of LCRBM2. Pale golden, bodyless hayish nonsense. I am going to kill that cat....
