Commercial Description:
While being a mild pilsner style beer, Bavarian Lager is our version of a clasic German "Helles" style of beer from Bavaria. Bavarian Lager is pale golden colored with a nice hop character over-laying mellow malt flavor.

Pours a copper color with a white head. Aroma is pilsner malt, grain, honey, and some herbal hops. Flavor is pilsner malt, honey, grain, and a hint of hops.

Bottle and served in a standard pint glass: lean golden hue with a frothy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of pear esters, bready Vienna malts, a hint of honey and corn, and some herbal hop vapours. The taste displays a moderate sweet bread malt along with a dash of twangy fruit and a dry and metallic hop finish. The mouth feel is sprite yet still soft, almost too dry for maximum refreshment. Solid enough brew.

I’m not a fan of Helles beers, or lagers in general. That said, this wasn’t bad. I just don’t prefer all the malts in them. This had a nice balance between malts and hops, and an appealingly light flavor. VERY sessionable.

Bavarian Lager gets some points for doing a difficult style (Dortmunder), but to me it’s pretty much average in every way. Light grassy aroma. light yellow appearance. Light grassy flavor. I didn’t notice much in the way of hops. Just not my cup of tea.

A bit light for a helles but an ok beer anyway. Gold in color and there is a white head. Good malt flavor and hop balance, almost like a Bohemian pilsner. Saaz hops maybe?

Pours a cloudy amber with light head. A soft bitter hop odor. The taste is soft and clean, but hits with a slight malt taste that is matched with a hop aftertaste. A drinkable beer, but there are still better Dortmunders out there.
