On a sunday morning installing some software of my neighbours Cees and Gonnie de Baat I had a Bavaria. It is not the best but it goes.

12oz bottle from 24 variety pack: Light golden color, medium sized head, big bubbles, fairly quickly diminishing, aroma of malts, taste of malts, acidic, slightly bitter, light, not much flavor.

660mL bottle. Haven’t tried this in ages, never realised it came in these longneck bottle. Pale gold body, white foam hangs around. Skunky malt aroma, bit cidery and moussy. Full body, reasonably decent on the palate. More skunky, mousiness combines with metallic malts. Not particularly tasty; I can imagine this would get pretty nasty as it warms.

Another mistake in my quest to find a good Dutch Lager. Won’t bore you with the taste details, just horrible.

A watery sweet beer with a mild touch of Heineken. Competitively priced, but still not great value. A sugary bland drink for the kids.

.5l can (’premium genuine imported’) found here in Serbia. Sweet nose with average looks, tallish head. taste is sweet, lemon bread. crisp enough but rather bland. Inoffensive, which is a compliment in these parts.

Blatantly not from Bavaria but it does tastes a little bit like a Helles. Nice soft malt but it’s a bit milky. Not much hop going on but I guess that’s the style. Not bad.

Sweet, lightly malty, and weak. Huge pile of billowy white head on top of straw liquid. Malt flavors were quite decent but the hops were nowhere to be found.
