1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
ArOma has the whiff of skunked Heineken and is the color of straw and leaves no lacing. Tastes like skunked Heineken as well. I can’t possibly fathom why anyone would want to import this shit into America.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Very middle of the road, has some pilsner flavors mixed with more generic pale lager characteristics, not bad, not exceptional.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours clear yellow with white head. Aroma has notes of pils malt, some grass, floral and lemon notes, a bready note as well. Taste is bready, some lemon, and a slightly bitter floral finish. Overall not bad, but the tastes are a bit weak and one dimensional.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
This pilsner pours pale straw in color, with a floral herbal nose. Unfortunately, the thin, white head falls quickly even though it retains a bit of lacing. (A good pils, as a German brewmaster friend of mine once told me, should take seven minutes to pour—allowing the head to dissipate. “Any less than that, send it back,” he claimed.) Regardless, Bavik has a balanced mouthfeel, with plenty of sweetness to compliment the crisp, herbal finish.
While I have to consider that this style—or any lighter lager—will take a beating as an import, this is a good effort … albeit nothing more than what was to be expected.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A decent Belgian pilsener. It is obviously better than Stella Artois, but it isn’t anything particularly worthwhile.
2.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
light body, thin feel, fizzy, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, medium sourness, pale, hazy, minimal head,
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
11.2 oz. bottle- Pours pale pale golden with a thin soapy white head and little lacing, aroma is very similar to a pale lager, just kind of general beer smell. The flavor tastes like a European lager, like St. pauli Girl or Heineken, very unimpressed with this one, possibly the most boring and probably the worst Belgium beer I’ve ever had.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
The aroma has malt, yeast, and herbal hops. The appearance is pale gold with a fairly large sudsy head. The flavor is like corn and paper with light astringent hops. The palate is thin and typical for the style with a light soapy aftertaste. This beer is beyond it’s best before date by several months so maybe thats why it’s so boring and blah
