Bavaria Pilsener

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

Gonna have to disagree with many of the raters on this one. It was actually much better than I expected. Enjoyed it much more than the Dinkelacker I had last night, which was overly bitter. The Bavaria poured a clear gold, aroma is very pilsner - malt and hops with just a slight sour undertone. Flavor was a subtle blend of malt and hops with a touch of sweetness. A touch of hop bitterness in the finish, slightly tart. Altogether a decent brew. A notch above Heinekin in my opinion. Probably still overpriced, but as I got a single for $1.28, I’m not complaining.

(Bottle) Pours a yellow color with a white fizzy head. Sweet aroma. Some hops, but in general the taste is pretty muted... like many Euro lagers. All in all, nothing to exciting.

330 ml green bottle labelled Bavaria Original Brew. Pale golden colour with a mostly diminishing creamy and fizzy white head. Grassy and perfumed aroma. Starts with sweet buttery corn flavour finishing with an unpleasant oily bitterness. Light bodied and fizzy.

Golden yellow large white fizzy head disappears quickly. Poor aroma of adjuncts sweet malts in aroma and flavour. Syrupy palate with sweet overly cloying flavour and fowel!

Blond beer with a big head. Hop and a bit of flower in the aroma. Light, slightly bitter beer.

this is another usual find in amsterdam and other places in holland: typical flavor and your favorite corn, rice, crap adjuncts that we have all learned to love....next!

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.

Canned sample. Golden in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas of slightly sticky pale malts, and a wiff of grassy hops. Simplistic pale malt flavors to start, followed by some harsh/husky grain notes, with a solvent-like finish. Pretty basic stuff.... vaguely drinkable.
