Overall, this incarnation of Foster's is pretty bad. The brew pours a bright golden hue and is capped with a short-lived fizzy head. Both the smell and flavor are astringent, grainy, alcoholic and fairly strong on metallic flavors. The feel is about on-par for an AAL, but this is supposed to be a bitter, so I'd expect a bit more tooth. I would not want another one of these.

Can to Pint
750ML

No dating.

Not sure how my wife got this can and then ended up in my hand. Oh well. This thing could be old as shit. If that one dude can do Bud Light from the ocean I can do this, but here goes.

**So yeah, only 1/2 a glass from 1/2 a can. I couldnt do it**

App- Looks a bit like a mix of an ESB mixed with a DIPA but had a huge three finger long lasting head that leaves a ton of cling and stick.

Smell- Smells a lot like Taffy thats been melted and pulled and a bit like Malt of meal. Not in a bad way just the way it turned out. Oh well.

Taste- Its like a bad caramel apple mixed with a bit of astringent soapy water. I don't think my wife knew anything about this can before giving it to me other than Foster is our last name. Just way past it's prime with a pastey like rice taste to it.

Mouth- A light body and full carbed rice/soap/paper machet bomb.

Drink- Not again. I appreciate the wife's effort to give me a can of a namesake beer but man this was bad.
