Beer 40 - Fosters

August 27, 2010 - Beer 40
Fosters
Brewed (and packaged under the supervision of Foster's Australia Ltd, Melbourne, Australia) by Oil Can Breweries, Fort Worth, TX bought at Spec's Liquor, Houston TX and drunk at Nicola and Stephen's home in Pearland, TX as we get the house ready for sale.
A nice gold color and a small head on the beer. It smells a little musty and the taste is not crisp and clean. (the date on the bottom of the can says Dec 2010)
Interestingly Fosters do not tell us what the beer is. If you were a visitor from Mars and were looking for a lager or a brown ale or an IPA or a bitter you wouldn't choose Fosters from the description on the can because Fosters is, well, Fosters.
Unfortunately this was not a good example of the genre. The beer tasted old and tired, it did not entice me to become a Fosters drinker.
