robpet (98), Stone Mountain, Georgia, USA Oct 22, 2005 I find it hard to believe that Labatt Blue is rated higher than this one. Not a great beer, but...
Best features are a good palate, a pleasant Pils aroma and good hoppy bitterness. This is a decent "set up a cooler on the deck on a hot day" beer. Mullo (102), Brisbane, Australia Oct 10, 2005 I had this on in the same sitting as Hollandia and found them quite similar. A nothing special - lightly hopped lager. Cookie, grain, hay, straw, grapefruit, apple, wine. Quite malt sweet. Slightly dry. GiBrew (171), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada Oct 6, 2005 Pours clear, golden fairly carbonated. Aroma is a bit skunky and grassy. Typical watered down, mass produced stuff. wunderbier (1264), Tampere, Finland Sep 20, 2005 Medium gold-straw body with a medium, foamy, white head. Decent lager-malt aroma, floral/herbal continnental hops. Faint pancake-dough aroma. The floral aroma almost feels fake, like a dryer sheet. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter flavor. Moderately bitter finish. Decent crisp bitter finish. Less flavor than the aroma indicated, but still that same "fake" floral element. Medium-light body, watery texture, lively carbonation. A tinge of the typical pale lager ’honey sweetness’ as it warms. 21iceman40 (1731), vienna, West Virginia, USA Sep 20, 2005 nothing special here, just a light colored lager that is however not offensive. I cant say that this beer has any good qualities, but it doesnt have any really bad qualities. I could drink 1 or 30 of these. Suttree (2701), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Sep 11, 2005 This beer is imported, I’m assured by the label, so I’ve got that going for me. However, its called "Bavaria", but its from Holland. That seems, I don’t know, deceptive somehow. I mean, really, You can’t just call your beer Bavaria and then boom, you’ve got yourself a Bavarian beer. You can’t fool me.
This is a standard green bottle importedlager, by the way. Grandpa (325), Verona, New York, USA Sep 11, 2005 I liked this one. Yeah, it’s light, but it is a pilsener. Not a lot of malt flavor but has a good hop finish. Light gold in color with a big snow white head. The head lasted and left clearly defined sip lines. It is refreshing. The 8 ounce bottles require two just to score and satisfy. Cable (286), SE, Oklahoma, USA Sep 9, 2005 Sampled from can. Bavaria pours a brilliant gold with a lasting white head. Aroma is mild with uncharacteristic DMS-like characteristics. Flavor is balanced with a good malt backbone and pretty much devoid of character. Light to medium-bodied, moderately carbonated and easy to drink. Simply unsophisticated and common.
