Crisply carbolic straw-hued Czech pilsner needs deeper yellow-fruited luster and more incisive lemony lime tartness to overcome bleak corn malting. Understated herbal-floral influence, lackadaisical grapefruit bittering, and barren honeysuckle whim weaken over time.

Adequate corn-malted yellow-fruited cereal-grained pilsner brings spoiled lemon nuances and herbal tinge to the forefront of German-styled medium body. Murky orange-grapefruit meander needs better thrust.

Boringly astringent and completely insignificant Bud Lite derivative flattens out metallic phenol hop coarseness with meager coriander/ orange peel wisp to stale white bread frailty. Lacking sufficient salty-grained bitterness, and worse, efficient counteractive malt sweetness, this fizzy orange seltzer approximation goes nowhere fast.

Pungent grain bitterness and thick malt sweetness combine for distinct full-bodied pilsner. Judicious hop tang and raunchy yeast souring punctuate musty grain grit. By peculiar tart cocoa finish, a mellow creaminess creeps through.

Extremely pale, light-bodied, second shelf German with aromatic mocha whisk, chaffed wheat palate, and delicate hop bitterness caressing sweet malt serenade. Easy flowing and highly accessible for lightweights, though benign grain follow-through and soapy finish preclude serious assessment.

Low calorie-carbohydrate pils expectedly lacks sugary malt thrust to put it over the top. Instead, harshly astringent honeyed almond frontage gets mired in soft hop-fizzed neutrality. Luckily, light marzipan reminder avoids annoyingly synthetic ‘lite’ beer affliction.

Imaginative non-alcoholic pale golden medium body with musty skunked malt waft and astringent grain sharpness analogous to Beck’s Pilsner. Mild hop-fizzed orange peel bitterness and off-dry lime-y bottom convincingly contrast glutinous honeyed wafer aftertaste.

Impossibly mild translucent pale-bodied pils stays bland as fizzy hops, cardboard-like grains, and cracked wheat nearly fade into club soda anonymity.

Musty yeast-scented clear-bodied Heineken ‘light’ maintains white bread signature, gentle hop fizz, crisp water flow, and wheat toast finish for amiable simplicity bettering non-alcoholic rivals.

Dissipating fluffy white head, pale yellow body, and murky malt aroma introduce soft-toned barley-husked ‘light’ Latino. Faint acidic citric bitterness fades to bland fizz-hopped finish. Surprisingly, flimsy Brussels lace coats the glass despite lackadaisical watery lull.

84-calorie lemon-limed spritzer with dank sourdough malting gets sulfuric by fey white bread finish. Only its sunny citric disposition saves this from disgust.
