Bavaria 8.6 Extreme is a potent golden blonde lager from Swinkels Family Brewers in Lieshout, Netherlands, with 10.5% ABV. Brewed using bottom fermentation with the brewery's proprietary yeast and a blend of barley malt, wheat and hops, this is a full-bodied, intense beer with a distinctly sweet profile.

The aroma offers fruity notes and anise. On the palate, honey and stone fruit dominate, while the full body expertly masks the alcohol strength. A characteristic bitterness underpins the sweetness, with hints of black pepper and grapefruit adding complexity and a dry, lingering finish.
