Bavaria 8.6

Brewed by Bavaria Brouwerij (Netherlands)
Style: Strong Pale Lager/Imperial Pils
Lieshout, Netherlands

Serve in Lager glass

Can. A deep golden beer with a creamy white head. Aroma is malty and sweet with strong alcohol notes. Taste is sweet and grany, strong alcohol notes. Low carbonation

Aroma of corn and abv. Sweet corn with a prominate abv gassing. There is an almost grainy texture to it. The warmth is a bit like paint thinner smells. This seems to be a push for abv at any cost. This kinda tastes like a candy bar that has been wiped down with a rag soaked in thinner. Nice sweet but the harsh alcohol kills it. Is this the worst beer I’ve ever had? Not by a long shot

Part of a 500 ml can from TBS, served cold in a tulip glass. 13OC11.

App.: Clear deep golden with a nice white head. Aroma: Vague grain/cereal/adjunct, a little biscuit, some odd sweetness, vague light fruitiness, a little fusel oil and alcohol. Palate: Medium body, relaxed carbonation. Flav.: Typical malt liquor, fruity, sickly sweet, alcoholic, grain/cereal grossness, fairly horrible, what a misuse of “Bavaria”; sickly sweet with limited bitterness and biting alcohol and biting alcohol, followed by a strange peppery/sweet fruity finish.

This doesn’t taste like Bavaria at all.

Originally rated April 2006. Best before date on the bottom of the can reads 05-2007. Pours a golden-caramel colour (darker than most lagers) with a white foamy head. Carbonation is under-average and retention is not bad. Dirty lacing with a nose of cereals. Medium mouthfeel. The cereal is present in the taste as well, with some mild bitterness. Alcohol is there too, but very well blended, with no burn found. No corn in this one. Quite an interesting malt liquor that is slightly different from others.

Bottle at Cafe Buitenlust, Oirschot. Clear yellow / golden color, white head. Smell malts and sweet. Taste malts, sweet and a little alcohol. Lightly bitter perhaps. Nothing special, but decent.

Very very clear. High carbonation, like someone pumped it into the can. some amberish colour. Smells like generic macro lager. has an almost sweet taste to it. this beer has no direction but i must admit i have had worse beer in my life.

Can: Regular white head on top of a clear golden colored yellow. Smell malts, corn, sweets. Taste sweets, malts, alcohol, light sticky and light bitter. Sweet malty bitter aftertaste. Absolutely nothing special and not balanced, but it’s an easy way to get drunk.

UPDATED: JUL 27, 2011 Can. "Bavaria" is an insult to the region. Generic, high alcohol pilsner. No character.
