Bavik Premium Pils

Brewed by Bavik-De Brabandere
Style: Pilsener
Harelbeke, Belgium

Barely drinkable, its got a the noted sweet malts then adds a papery taste to which makes it unpleasant. unfortunate for a beer from Belgian

A creamy drinkable and tasty lager, with some yeast in it. A find at Eagle Provisions in NYC. Yellow with some cloudiness in it, some white head and drops of lace. Smooth drinking. Offset some spicey food. Smartly malted, a versatile beer.

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. It’s drinkable but just barely.

If you like apple juice, you will like this beer. Good color and decent pour. Fruity taste but not quite the right ’beer’ taste. Good head for a light beer.

Poured light to medium gold, with a very white head, bready with faint grassy and hay fragrances, fragrances some sweet malt and pilsner, light pilsner taste with a small hop bitterness, dry on the palate, little bread taste, lots of carbonation, better then I expected.

bottle from total wine in va. pours a cloudy pale gold. aroma is malty, bready. fruity malt in the finish, but enough gentle hop bitterness to make it nicely balanced. relatively full bodied for a pils. not bad, i could see drinking quite a few of these in a bar in belgium, but not something i’ll really seek out here.

Pours a hazy amber gold, with a few clumps of protein floaties swimming around. Thin bead of white head dies to nothing. No lacing. Appearance of ample or even lively carbonation. To me this taste more like a wheat beer than a pilsener. It is soft, fruity, yeasty and wheat, with some floral hoppiness in the finish. All of these flavors are quite mild, however. Lots of unassuming flavor. Pick one and stick with it, and you’d have a pretty decent beer. Oh well… Very soft and gentle carbonation and body. Too far to the light side to be very interesting.

Bottle from Whole Foods. Medium golden pour. Aroma is of cardboard and watery grains. Flavor is better than the aroma. Some creamy graininess going on. Fair amount of bitterness. Not too bad.
