Bavaria Pilsener

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

yellow lager with thin fizzy head. grassy yeast aroma. nothing special. tastes the same as every import premium lager. green bottle and all.

Light bright gold, large foamy head. Strong skunky aroma. Flavor is mildly skunky with some decent clean malt and light bitter finish. Definite vegetal/cooked corn flavors develop. Uck.

Pours urine test yellow with a large white fluffy head. The aroma is lightly grainy malt with traces of corn. The body is slightly above light with fizzy carbonation. The taste is simple and light, creamy smooth malt with a light sweet fake fruit taste. The finish has a light touch of spicy hops. It wasn’t horrible at this point, but once it started warming up a bit it started tasting more and more like sweet corn. I could take no more and had to pour it.

bottle - Poured a decent looking yellow/gold, almost no head. There isn’t much going on with this beer. Palate is thin and the flavor is quite malty. The hops are very subdued. It’s better than having a Bud, but that’s not saying much.

Don’t ya just love those green bottles? Date code 1719, aged well! My bottle did not say pilsner on it, it said Bavaria Holland Beer. Sometimes these out of country labels are difficult to ID for a rating. Pop the lid and there is immediately a short pungent veggie cabbage aroma. Once poured it mellows into a simple, clean and perhaps sweet smell. Looks like any other ubiquitous pale yellow American lager. Taste is a little pinchy, like an instigating pilsner. A small back of throat mild bitter linger hangs for a while. Good medium carbonation. Has a very thin froth on top for a head. Stacks up well against American pale lagers and perhaps even pilsners. Overall not bad but could have a few more manners. For a lager it is too much and for a pilsner it is not enough. After a few chugs there is this industrial hint of alcohol lurking around on the back of the tongue.

Cheap imported beer. You get what you pay for. Looks good and will compete with any other Pilsner in it's price range. Average at best.

Nice gold color with hardly any head or aroma. Has a faint grainy malt flavor with medium body. There’s not much here.

Bottle: Clear gold with a white head. Aroma, it has that distinct imported green glass smell to it. I won’t elaborate, we’ve all been there. Flavor, tastes like nothing but that skunk in the room. So glad I picked this up.
