3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a really clean white head that stays around for a while. Lots of bubbles. Aroma is very light and clean with some hops. The beer itself is perfectly clear and golden. The flavor is subtle... has a fair amount of hops. Decent for summer.

From tap at Lucky Baldwins, Pasadena as Bavik Pils. Pours pale and almost clear yellow with a lacing white head. Mild bitterhops aroma. Flavour is citric to orange fruity yet also with an unmistakenly cardboardish note. Light spiced too. Finish is dry, solid bitter and lingering spiced.

11.2 oz bottle: Pale yellow pour with a rising white cap that sticks all around. The nose is delicate, but complex, with notes of light caramel, fresh white bread, watery honey, cereal and distant grass. The medium-mouthfeel and moderate carbonation releases more of the hop character onto the tongue. Notes of grass and pine lead the way as more creamy caramel and buttery bread follow. Very clean from start to finish - a nice example of the pilsener style.

12 ounce can. Pale golden color. Thin white foam that lasts well. Nose shows some light malts, a touch of vinous character and some grassy hops. Really clean nose. Flavor has some bready malty character and some tangy, slightly citrus hops. Well balanced, clean lager.

This is a great Pils. Slightly green in color, like a classic Pils. Overall, this is the best Pilsner I’ve had in the US thats come over from Europe.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: MAY 12, 2009 Based on the number of ratings this is most likely what I had on tap at Stumbling Monk. Nice creamy head. Earthy straw. Euro lager scent. Straight forward flavour profile. A bit of sourness around the edges.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Ours amber golden with a thick white head. Aroma is light malt, bitter. Flavor is dull grass, and some sweet malt. crap.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
33cL Bottle at the Michigan House Cafe - Calumet, MI. Light grassy hop nose, lemon-tinged malt and a bit of alcohol in the aroma. Pours a slightly hazy yellow, with a clean white soap lacing the glass. Flavor is a decent blend of faint bready pils malt, some juicy hops and water. No metallic bitterness, skunkiness or soap. This is a clean, mildly flavor, pleasantly hop-dappled pilsener. Very refreshing, rather clean and quenching. Underrated, in my opinion. Because it’s nice to get a fresh, balanced pils every once and a while.
