Color: very light, hardly any sparkling, fine white head.
Taste: the bitterness introduced already in the aroma, comes completely forward in the aftertaste. Considered one of the top Pilsners during the Michael Jackson International Pilsner tasting in Beer Passion Magazine, autumn 2000, where 27 Pilsners from around the world were 'blind' tasted and compared.
Bavik Premium Pilsner, is considered one of the best Belgian Pilsners, and is certainly one that survived the onslaught by Interbrew-Labatt, which tried, and still tries to take over as many Belgian breweries as possible, to shut them down and to stop brewing their beers.
Bavik Premium Pilsner has been brewed since the creation of the brewery in 1894. Indeed, the emergence of the Pilsner, only a few decades earlier in Bavaria and Czechia, was one of the main reasons Mr. De Brabandere started his brewery.
The Bavik Premium Pilsner has a very strong market in the Southern part of West Flanders and in theWestern part of Northern France. This is in fact the 'local' market for the brewery, and this market is still growing at a healthy pace.

Style: Bohemian Pilsner
Bohemian Pilsners are golden, highly carbonated beers that orginated in the city of Pilsen, Bohemia (today known as the Czech Republic). Bohemian Pilsner flavors are clean with a complex malt beer balanced by a notable Noble hop bitterness.
Pilsners date to the 1840's and they make use of then newly available pale malts which were made possible through the use of clean burning coke as fuel for malting kilns.
In 1839, the citizens of Pilsen decided to found and build a brewery of their own, called Burger Brauerei (now Plzenský Prazdroj). They then recruited the Bavarian brewer Josef Groll (1813 – 1887) who, using new techniques and the newly available paler malts, presented his first batch of modern Pilsner on October 5th, 1842. The combination of pale color from the new malts, Pilsen's remarkably soft water, noble hops from nearby Saaz and Bavarian-style lagering produced a clear, golden beer which was regarded as a sensation.
Improving transport and communications also meant that this new beer was soon available throughout Central Europe, and the Pilsner Brauart style of brewing was soon widely imitated. In 1859, "Pilsner Bier" was registered as a brand name at the Chamber of Commerce and Trade in Pilsen. In 1898, the Pilsner Urquell trade mark was created to put emphasis on being the original brewery.- Browse Bohemian Pilsner
