Bavaria Pilsener

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

Pours a bright clear golden with a thin-lacing wispy white head. Aroma of slightly skunked earthy hops and pale grain with just a hint of sweetness. Starts lightly sweet with some faint toasty biscuity notes and a sprinkling of Saaz hops. Body is pretty thin and watery without much character at all. I guess this would be refreshing on a hot summer’s day, but otherwise, it gives Bavaria a bad name.

Fruity aroma, hay. Neutral, fruity taste (grapes). No hopbitterness, watery.

Yellow color clearly. Firm, little fizzy. Classic beer trades them without defined body.

Not bad for the price, but had a similar watery feel as that of the mass produced american beers.

(50 cl can from Systembolaget) Clear golden color, big lasting white head. Sweet malty hay scent. Sweet malt and butter taste. Slightly metallic aftertaste. Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Pours a sparkling clear gold with tons of rising bubbles and a loose, frothy white head that diminishes quickly. Decent lacing. Skunk on the initial pour; shocker given the green glass. Given time, however, the aroma clears to reveal a lightly sweet macro-esque lager nose with just a whisper of dry grass in the background. Light-bodied and slick with a dry, lightly bitter and somewhat metallic finish. A sweet malt front with a lightly bitter end that lingers far too long for my liking. For a lager, it’s not awful, but it certainly doesn’t inspire me to drink another.

Pours very pale gold with a 2 finger fluffy white head that has good retention. Aroma is grass, sweet malt, toasted grain, wet limestone, raw grain, some grass and a little bready lager yeast. Flavor is sweet malt, grassy hops, woody notes, half baked white bread, some toast and a nice mildly bitter finish. Not bad for the style, pretty ho-hum, try it if you love Heineken I guess. Palate is thin, dry and nicely carbonated.

Standard pils, nothing to stand out but just a drinkable, boozy european pilsner.
