Bavaria Pilsener
A clear, light-blond pilsener with a fruity character and a fresh finish, 5% ABV. It is brewed with natural mineral water, hops and barley that Bavaria malts itself, at the family-owned brewery in Lieshout, Noord-Brabant. In 1925 the brewery switched from top- to bottom-fermenting beer, and the Swinkels family has run it since 1764.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Bavaria Pilsener
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
