Bavaria Pilsener

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

Serve in Lager glass

Typical Dutch lager with some sweetness and golden look and nice firmy head.

500ml can into a pint glass. Slight corn aroma, pours nice golden colour with a hoppy-tasting head. Decent lacing on the glass. A little too much aftertaste for my liking, but overall it’s not a bad lager.

Light aroma of floral hops, quite nice. Light foamy head that dissipated quickly and left nice lace. Flavor was sweet and malty with a dry finish. Mouthfeel was well carbonated, crisp and lively. Not bad stuff (definitely not pilsner) but comparable to most north american macro lagers.

Upon pouring developed a large white head that was mostly lasting, and a medium yellow hue. The smell was heavily hoppy with a hint of honey. In the palate it had a light to medim body with a slightly oily texture. It had a slightly sweet taste but seemed mostly watered down. This is an easy beer to drink, and I would recommend it if you plan on "tossing back a few."

Gold beer,thin frothy head,carbonation okay.Aroma malt and hops,bread notes.Flavour,malt and hops.little lemon.bitter,just an ordinary type beer you might find at your local pub and not knock back.Finish sweet and bitter.

Clear straw pour, no head or lace. Sweet skunky aroma. Sweet, corny, and grainy with a pleasant European green bottle skunk. A bit of metal and a thickish, slightly phlegmy mouthfeel. Good, like a bold Heineken.

UPDATED: MAR 1, 2009 500 mL Can. This one poured very lively and very frothy; it may not have had enough time to settle from a wipe-out I had on an ice patch on the way out from the store (a later visitation revealed a scanty white head that again left good lacing on the sides). Grainy aroma with a grassyness about it and a very faint note of grapefruit. The taste is light sweet malt with relatively little aftertaste followed by a clean finish. A very light bodied beer, the flavor is a bit shy but I wouldn’t call it watery by any means. Quite smooth in the mouth. Best suited for hot summer beer-drinking. There are lots of more expen$ive beers that get a lesser, and sometimes VERY LESSER rating. Brownie points for good value.

500 ml can, split with my cousin in Beirut. Clear yellow color, minimal head. Less yeasty taste than a typical pale lager, but a nice fruity aroma was present. Slightly sweeter aftertaste than I’m used to, which was nice. Beet taste, possibly.
