Foster's Premium Ale

This is a "bitter" ale from the Australian Foster's brand (but the Foster's product for consumption in the US is now brewed here as part of the SABMiller brand conglomerates).

The beer pours a deep amber in color, crystal clear. There is a tall, ragged, somewhat fizzing, head of off-white to very light tan foam. The aroma is malty, a bit of caramel, a touch nutty, with a bit of a tart note. The taste follows the aromas, but loses the tart note. There is sweetness, but the finish is mostly dry, with a grassy bitterness. The beer drinks refreshing, nicely carbonated. This isn't bad for what it is, and is much better than their lager.
