The Can Says: "Super Strength Dutch Lager"

Rortise says: The words super strength and Dutch are not normally seen together in the same sentence however, in this case, they are and they go together very well indeed. Bavaria have a known pedigree in producing "premium" lagers and their implementation of a screw top on all of their bottles is a wonder to behold. Bavaria super, on the other hand, comes in a can like all good supers. The can is a tad drab and uninspiring but you would be a fool to miss the giant 8.6 on the front. The ring pull opened with little resistance which is always a bonus and the smell was not off putting. 

On first taste this could pass for any premium strength lager - it tasted just that good! For a super it is very light and doesn't have that chemical taste that many of its rivals do, although Marakon disputed this heatedly. Four cans for a fiver is another bonus but, alas, they are only 440ml cans. The most surprising thing about Bavaria 8.6 is just how palatable it really is - you could drink this at any time and anywhere. A true top super.

In Conclusion: Bavaria 8.6 tasted fantastic chilled or warm, very much like its 8.6% brother, Tesco Super. It really has now become the Trampjuice reviewers choice and would gain a full 10 and dethrone Tennents as the tramps favourite if it wasn't for two things. The first being is that it is simply too upper class for tramps to drink and the second being the 440ml cans. When will super brewers learn that we are willing to pay an extra few pence for that all important 60ml? These two problems are really picking holes in what is otherwise a fantastic brew and as such Bavaria 8.6 is rewarded with a 9/10
