Commercial Description:
Tröegs Bavarian Lager is an authentic German style lager, brewed with Munich malts, Hallertau Hops and fermented at cool temperatures followed by a full month of aging, or "lagering", to impart a range of complex maltiness and subtle aromas only found in traditional German lagers.

12 oz bottle, courtesy of Tidiaguy. Deep golden color, foamy head. Nice malty/bready aroma. Sweet, very full-bodied for a lager, some smoky hints, light lemon zestiness near the end, aromatic piney hoppiness appears, a well-constructed if unspectacular lager.

Color is a nice strong golding amber toned hue, thin off-white head appeared then fizzed out fast, leaves small spots of dripping lace. Smell is faint of crispy fresh toasty malts, somewhat breadish, with a hop note but quite soft on the nose. Taste is pretty light, fresh, crisp, toasty smooth and subtle malts that has a slight breadish quality with some nutty notions. Balanced well with a good mildly spiced hop twinge of bitterness that hits fast, lingers some then disappears pretty fast. Feel is medium to light bodied with a small amount of chalky and dull grainyness into the finish. Don't know what to think of this one other then I won't think about it. A slightly better then average Marzen.

Pours a clear copper with decent carbonation and a half inch off-white head. Bland stale malty lager aroma, but true to style. Body has some light dry caramel and peat malt character with a hint at fruit toward the bittering finish. Has good complexity for a lager, but could still use a little more balance.

This tastes like a candied lager. Sweeeeeet! Its like they threw some fruit cakes in during the fermentation. The first few sips are very good but it soon grows a bit overbearing, eventually turning into drainpour.

Copper-gold, very long-lasting head for a lager. Nose is sweet, slightly hoppy. Initial flavor is tart and quite cidery. Quite sweet. Finishes slightly hoppy, nice bitterness. A very enjoyable lager.

Good lager overall, dark color with a hint of smoke in the flavor. Sweetness almost seems artificial.
