Dank-grained medium-bodied Czech pils with lemony hop fizz and floral-spiced Orange Blossom honey drift falls way short. Vacant crystal malt sweetness and inferior vegetal spill (asparagus-maize-carrot) sink it further into stylistic oblivion.

Interesting soft-watered pale yellow pilsner closer to fruity white ale with its candi-sugared hop-spiced lemon frontage receiving grassy wheat-dried barnyard-horse blanket earthiness and peculiar mint tinge.

Closer to Czech beer due to soft grain nuance, bleached barley flow, and bitter hop penetration. Also, not far removed from pungently malt-y Dutch brews such as Heineken or Peter’s Brand with its musty bread-like yeast. Soap water finish ruins its thrust.

Pure spring water, sweet mocha aroma-palate, and thick barleymalt mustiness form the core of brownish red Big Easy beer. Soft coffee notes and earthy grain backdrop descend on watered down version of a bland porter.

Special ‘06 release finds bitter lemon rind-tinged floral-blueberry frontage subsiding to grassy mineral-grained finish. Dry-bodied pale-toned billowy white-headed moderate pils’ only drawback is minor metallic astringency.

Crystal clear, gold-hued, fluffy-headed, sharp hopped pilsner soft, unassuming, and mildly sweet by dreary finish. Made for those who enjoy cheap Bud instead of ‘real’ beer.

Soapy light-bodied yellow-hazed pilsner upset by off-putting cabbage-asparagus waft, acrid bruised lemon souring, and bitterly oxidized wheat straw finish. Mild chamomile tea, lemongrass, and vegetal illusions shade grassy hops.

Swift hop-citrus softness agitates sugared malts and rye snip of musty lemon-scented medium-bodied pilsner.

Lemony floral-hopped light body gets honeyed wheat sedation before silky sugar malts deplete dank yeast sourness and straw grass waft by dry toasted barley finish.

Pungent yeast scent provokes white-breaded wheat palate up-front. Refreshing water flow and polite grain sweetness neutralize hearty malt essence. Those delighted by cloy Rolling Rock would do better to discover this Dutch light-bodied delight.

Same brew as listed above, but bottled in Lebanon. Pleasing malt sweetness usurped by moderate citric hop bitterness, pithy toasted barley must, and dried corn cusp.

Typical rice-aided Japanese beer goes down smooth and easy. Thin lead ingredients appear to be nut and barley. But Japan’s “Super Dry’ #1 beer is so clean it barely leaves a delicate yeast-sinewy cereal-grained finish. In one-quart can, tinny water presence outlasts grain ebb.
