Bavaria Pilsener

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

Serve in Lager glass

What can I say, this is a skunky watered down version of Heineken. It lacks aroma, flavor and it has a very lacking palate!

Golden yellow large white fizzy head disappears quickly. Poor aroma of adjuncts sweet malts in aroma and flavour. Syrupy palate with sweet overly cloying flavour and fowel!

Gonna have to disagree with many of the raters on this one. It was actually much better than I expected. Enjoyed it much more than the Dinkelacker I had last night, which was overly bitter. The Bavaria poured a clear gold, aroma is very pilsner - malt and hops with just a slight sour undertone. Flavor was a subtle blend of malt and hops with a touch of sweetness. A touch of hop bitterness in the finish, slightly tart. Altogether a decent brew. A notch above Heinekin in my opinion. Probably still overpriced, but as I got a single for $1.28, I’m not complaining.

Rated 1/20/07: Blah, weak lager lacking adequate malt content. Grassy aroma slightly appealing. Average pale gold pour, medium white head, moderate lacing. Light shallow mouthfeel, finishes with a weird emptiness. Flavor is virtually non-existent, really lacking in the malt department I could however detect some mild hop bitterness. Overall a guzzler perhaps, may be refreshing after a long hot day but rather weak.

Originally rated August 2006. Bought a single can at the LCBO on Bank street. Pours a clean golden colour with a decent tiny-bubbled cream white head. Stays quite a while and lacing is thick and all-around the glass. Very lively carbonation that is all-over. The aromas are of grain and malt. Crisp mouthfeel. Mild sweetness in the taste at first, then very light bitterness in the finish with a little dry aftertaste. Refreshing brew with a good look, but no grass in the taste and nose make this one a regular lager, and not a pilsner (as the name refers to).

330 ml green bottle labelled Bavaria Original Brew. Pale golden colour with a mostly diminishing creamy and fizzy white head. Grassy and perfumed aroma. Starts with sweet buttery corn flavour finishing with an unpleasant oily bitterness. Light bodied and fizzy.

Canette 500ml sous le nom "Bavaria Holland Premium". De couleur jaune et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle avec des notes de maïs sucré, de houblon herbeux et quelques traces d’agrumes. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort et une texture légèrement aqueuse. Moyen goût de grains de malt pâle avec des petites notes fruitées (agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute de faibles notes de maïs sucré puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes amères de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé) avec des petites traces métalliques. Post-goût court et aux petites notes sèches, très légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec des petites notes métalliques.

this is another usual find in amsterdam and other places in holland: typical flavor and your favorite corn, rice, crap adjuncts that we have all learned to love....next!
