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 lightly hazy amber with a very thin cap of white foam. This changes rapidly to just a ring around the edge, leaving minimal spotty lace. Mild sweet malt in the aroma with a touch of caramel malt. Subtle sweet honeymalt / caramel malt flavor, minimal hop presence for balance only. Better than a macrolager by far, but ultimately lacking any interesting character. For the same price you could pick up their Special Pilsner (which is much better), or if you were so inclined - three times as many fluid ounces of Stroh’s.

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a hazy honey colored body with a small white head which diminished quickly. Light bodied with moderate sweetness and little else. Palate has some honey notes with a wisp of hops with little to no aftertaste. Not a beer to be enjoyed ice cold. This beer’s flavor and aroma improves as it warms. Throughout the tasting, I noticed that this lager goes down quite smoothly and does not offend in the least.

Honey gold color with a white soapy head. Very little visible carbonation. Malt dominated aroma with a hint of floral hop and some honey. Flavor is same as the aroma with a tad of spice. Light toffee. The hop provides just a bit of life to the feel that grows as the beer warms.

Bottle poured to glass. Amber, orange brew with small wothe head. Sweet aroma of toasted malt grain and flowery hop. Lacked in head and lacing so a 2 for apperance. Light, smooth mouthfeel and flavor from the malt grains. Long mellow finish.

Just aight. Not crazy about it, but not completely disgusted with it like other lagers. No skunk involved.

Bottle. Big, fluffy head. Aroma of malt and hops- medium yellow in color. Flavor is crisp and slightly hoppy. Taste some crackers, slightly sour in the finish. Well made, but my rating is lower than average only because this style isn’t my favorite- body is a bit too thin and light for my taste.
