For Beer Geeks And Rock Freaks

Rating: 2.5

Murky dry-hopped rye-malted pilsner places mild Scotch wisp above sour-fruited tartness. Toasted cereal-grained oats-dried caramelizing reinforces rotted orange-apple pungency and grassy leather-laced bottom. Ample alcohol astringency wearily consumes cracker-salted citric finish of medium-bodied triviality.

Rating: 2.5

Sour diacetyl buttering, phenolic hop fizz, and gnarly vegetal astringency plague musty sour-malted straw-hued moderate-bodied pilsner. After modest barley-rice sweetness counters mild lemon bittering and grassy-hopped repose, coarsened corn-oiled finish impedes progress. Withered white bread spine collapses and wavered herbal nuances barely register.

Rating: 5

Enjoyable frothy session beer allows candi-sugared yellow-fruited nature to inundate mild piney hop bittering to biscuit-y cornbread bottom. White grapefruit, yellow grape, and green lime complement tart lemon-seeded overture. Lively citric finish scatters floral, black pepper, and fresh-cut grass nuances below crystalline pilsner malting. 

Rating: 2.5

OSKAR BLUES MAMA'S LITTLE HELPERCrisply 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.

Rating: 2.5

CHUCKANUT PILSAdequate 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.

Rating: 1

BUD LITE GOLDEN WHEATBoringly 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.

Rating: 4

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

Rating: 2.5

Tags:

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.

Rating: 2.5

Tags:

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.

Rating: 3

Tags:

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.

Rating: 2.5

Tags:

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

Rating: 3

Tags:

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.
