2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle: Skunky malt aroma. Pours a pale yellow without much of a head. Sweet up front. Finishes lightly sweet, lightly bitter, and lightly skunked. Just a light flavored beer all the way around.

Van de tap. Niet het lekkerste pils. Te zoet. Verder weinig op aan te merken en aardige dorstlesser.

Yikes. Upon opening the bottle a large cork like head pushed it way up looking for all the world like styrofoam. Poured into a glass it was mostly this thick head until it settled down into a pale yellow brew. Almost no nose. Slight hint of hops/ Very bland taste. Not much good.

UPDATED: SEP 7, 2006 One of the last dregs of the ’Liquorland’ lot. Amazed I hadn’t tasted it yet, thought I was through with novelty pilsners. Poured a sparkling, yellowy gold with fine carbonation capped off with a loose, rocky white crown that managed to stick around for the length leaving minimal legs. Dry, fresh mowed grass and dusty malt aroma, quite clean but lacking somewhat. Thin, watery, soft palate. Light blend of barnyard grain, souring malt and stale hops. Gently bitter on the finish with a soapy, short swallow. Nothing too offensive, quite straightforward, bland and brain-dead quaffing. So-so. (33cL, BBE 05/07, Liquorland throughout Oz)
re-rate - Bloody spelling mistakes, bloody iespell not working...

A poor man's Heineken that actually ended up tasting better than Heineken. Feels light in the mouth and sparkly. Not great by any means but if you drink non-special beers and are looking for some sophistication, look no farther than Bavaria; Don't buy the Heiny!

500 ml can. Very pale golden beer with thin white head, fading back quickly to thin lace. Aroma of hay, pale malt. Flavour is slightly sweet, pale malt, grassy hops. Comes across a bit industrial. Sweetish finish.

Can, 5%. Clear golden colour, stable white head. Grainy flavour, quite watery. Low bitterness.

15-Aug-07 (12 oz bottle: BevMo in La Jolla, CA) Dark straw in color with a slight haze, but even immediately after the pour, barely any carbonation bubbles rise through the beer. So, not an especially impressive appearance to this beer, but it does have a white, rocky, fluffy head that leaves plenty of lace near the top of the glass. Grainy, vaguely bready malt aroma doesn’t provide much inspiration to take a sip. The bready malts taste fairly sweet and become almost honey-like on the palate toward the finish, but a bit of stale, papery flavor comes through in the finish as well. Hops makes the mildest of contributions in the attack, but then quickly and totally disappears in the evolution, and without that mild bitterness, the beer doesn’t have a pleasant aftertaste. Light-medium in body and carbonation, but lacking the crisp, clean flavor and mouthfeel one expects from a premium lager. Overall, this premium lager lacks a quality malt flavor, needs a more balanced finish, and is simply way too sweet to be taken seriously. Won’t buy this again.
