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.

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.

Aroma is like rising sweet dough, comes out at me before I even pour. Pours a clear light amber, significant but rapidly fading white head leaves some spotty lace. Floral hops with just a little bite, some apple, malts far more subdued in the mouth than on the nose. Clean finish. Very light bodied but crisp on the palate.

Transparent golden/yellow color with a medium white head. Slightly sweet aroma with a mild hop bitterness and a light malty mouth feel. Kind of average.

[Bottle] Pours gold with a moderate whitish head. Aroma is sweet malt. Flavor is a touch of hop, lager yeast. Smooth and a little bitter.

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.
