3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Had this can from the colder glass front cooler at the Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin USA. Poured with a huge frothy foamy textured off-white head and plenty of lace. Nice beery, light malt, light hop fresh aroma. Color is a yellow gold. Flavor’s similar to aroma, with a bit more hop bitterness. A bit thin in body. Good beer, good value.

500ml can. Looks like a pilsener, smells like a pilsener, and hey, it tastes like a pilsener! Quite smooth and refreshing, a solid all around lager. I don’t really understand the low percentile. Rate it by style, jerks.

Bavaria pilsener.. it’s the regular beer to drink at parties in my region. Decent pilsener, like most others. Nothing special though.

Medium gold color and head, with mild hoppy aroma. Slightly sweet up front, with a subdued but pleasant acidity in the middle, and a crisp finish. Nothing fancy, but I didn't mind it, and for an import the price was reasonable. My label said Bavaria Holland Beer and it came in a 12pk.

A nice smelling Pilsener with a light clean taste. Not the best Pilsener out there, but very far from the worst.

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.

Can from the LCBO:
Poured a deep gold clear lager with a rocky 2 finger cap with fair retention and lacing...
Aroma is fairly well pronounced grainy/bready malts with light floral hopping somewhat like clover ( no dutch skunk here like Heineken)...
..fair malt spine. soft mineral mouth feel, smooth rounded malty character....
Fairly 2 dimensional Dutch lager with a good dose of carapils malts up front then a light herbal-lemony effect from attenuated nobel hopping, clean finish, slight drying from a light use of wheat... biscuit after taste ....like a malty, soft pilsner....this is what Grolsch would taste like if they pumped up their malts and were medium bodied.
A decent Euro all malt golden lager from a lagge dutch brewer who do their own malting....clean malty taste, minimal sweetnes, subdued lemmony hopping, soft mouth feel...no surprizes or over complexity....very drinkable....I’ll buy more if there is no JR Brickman around.
