This beer is of the Dortmunder variety. Its high proportion of malts and fine-quality hops, as well as its golden color and appetizing head, make Bavaria Gold a beer of European type and character. The sensory balance of freshness, body and bitterness, together with a jealously guarded production process, make Bavaria Gold a premium-quality beer that has been in production since the 1930s.

Tall skinny 350ml can pours out crisp clean golden topped with a white head. Nose is grain some sweetness and a little cereal. Taste is more of the sweet grain cereal malt and some spice almost.

Country ticking? Why yes and thank you Brian.
Bottle to lager glass, the appearance was a soft yellow color with a fast rising carbonation hitting a quickly dissipating finger’s worth of foamy to fizzy white head. No lace.
The aroma had some sweet corn and light bready malts. Super light grassy to floral hops.
The flavor was sweet along with the aftertaste and finish, slightly sticky yet acceptable.
The feel was light bodied with a super big sessionability about it. Carbonation seemed fine. ABV seemed fine.
Overall, though there’s not much here, honestly, it does the trick on a hot day, can’t go wrong with that.

A golden lager with a thin white head. In aroma, crisp malt with light grassy German hops, light metallic notes. In mouth, a smooth crisp malt with mineral notes and light German hops, not bad. Can from Auto Mercado San Jose.

29th March 2014: Punteranus, Costa Rica. Once we had tried all three beers available at our first bar we decided to have a stroll around and see if we could find somewhere else to spend our Dollars: we did find somewhere and they had this along with two more new brews for me (Bavaria Light and Rock Lemon: not ideal, but a tick is a tick sometimes). Reminded me of the Dutch Bavarian Lager you can get in Holland and the UK: golden, bright and clean looking, Odourless almost and devoid of taste, but a typical lager based beer nonetheless. It was a lot better than what was to follow!

Bottled in Guacimal, Costa Rica. Clear golden, small head. Somewhat buttery nose. Sweetish with clean, rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Butter and overripe fruits. Low bitterness. Average industrial lager.

Canned, 0.35l, shared with CanCrusher. Clear straw color with medium frothy white head. Aroma of mild grainy malt, cooked vegetables and some skunkiness, too. Taste is light sweet malty with dry mouthfeel and no hoppiness at all. Light body, thin texture and soft carbonation in palate. Poor and much worse than Bavaria Dark...

Tastes a little better than the Bavaria dark, actually. Another boring lager from Costa Rica. Not the worst, not the best.
