Bavaria Pilsener

Brewed by Bavaria Brouwerij (Netherlands)
Style: Premium Lager
Lieshout, Netherlands

Serve in Lager glass

Can. Yeasty-biscuity nose and flavor. Bright yellow, active carbonation, patchy head. Palate opens harsh but finishes soft.

500ml tallboy from LCBO shared with a friend. Pale colour with a white head. Nothing much here. Touch of bitterness present in the mild hop presence on the palette. Nose is bread and malt. Thin and not very well craft.

Bottle. Extremely boring beer. A bit sweet and cordial-like. Watery. A 12 pack costs as much as a 6 pack of something decent... probably the latter is a better deal.

Bottle says Bavaria Holland Beer; brewers website calls this bottle Bavaria premium; Nose is grassy and grainy; pale gold with a small white head; flavor slightly sweet and a little caramel malt with a tiny bit of hoppiness.

50 cL can (as genuine imported Bavaria beer Holland, bought in Italy). Pours pale yellow with crispy white head. Slight sweet malty aroma. Flavour is malty with decent portion of bitterhops, very very minor fruity note sticking through. Ends dry malty with little bitterness.

Can courtesy of HogTownHarry. Not looking forward to this. Pours a clear pale gold with a large diminishing foamy white head. Not fresh aroma of grain, sugar, adjuncts, honey and faint floral hops -- could be worse but could be much better. Mild, sweet flavour of grain, bready malt, light hops, fake-ish honey and a somewhat harsh finish, you’d almost think it was high in alcohol but it’s only 5%. Light bodied. Far from the worse but it’s bland, slightly too sweet, unbalanced and a harsh finish -- does not make for a very good beer.

12 ounce bottle purchased in Broward County, FL supermarkets. Good for the price.

UPDATED: FEB 8, 2009 Bottle. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Pale yellow colour. Week bready aroma. Light sweet and bitter flavor. Not very pleasent. Short light bitter finish. Watery palate. Maybe one of the worst dutch lagers?
