On tap at Ambulance, famed Bavarian cult beer brings sour yellow fruited pungency to delicately skunked dry hop bittering and light pilsner malting. Mild lemon-rotted grapefruit zing gets scattered across raw-honeyed mineral graining, sourdough yeast and grassy herbal niche.

(C0VINGTON) PONTCHARTRAIN PILSNER
Easygoing gold-cleared Czech pils provides pale malt dryness for toasted white bread neutrality and strawed maize acridity. Fizzy hop spicing and drab yellow-orange fruiting don’t help matters.
ST. LAWRENCE BARNSTORMER BOHEMIAN PILSNER
Bothersome nickel-hazed Czech pils (in a can) tastes like an infected sour saison or problematic Belgian pale ale. Superficial orange souring and lemon rot spoilage reach bad cider finish, picking up tannic white grape tartness and earthen musk.
FIREMAN’S BREW BLONDE BEER
Bland blonde pilsner serves musky grains to clean rice adjunct and grassy hop waft. Lemony smidge recedes to cardboard-like oxidation. Cheap pale yellowed light body will barely satisfy Blue Collar thirsts.
O’SO MEMORY LANE GERMAN-STYLE PILSNER
Rustic pilsner malts bring light toasted graining to musty yellow-fruited dalliance and pungent wood-dried hop bittering. Polite carbolic fizz and faint phenol esters mask mild grapefruit niche while white-breaded bottom softens precipitously.
LA CERVEZA RUBIA PILSEN
(COSTA RICA) IMPERIAL LIGHT
KAISER LOW ALCOHOL PILSNER
DYCKMAN BREW PILSNER
On tap at Blue Ribbon Tavern, musky moderate-bodied flagship pilsner brings gluey cardboard-like pale malting to raw-honeyed sour lemon putridity. Lusty carbolic citric spritz negates musty vegetal herbage that wispily seeps into roughhewn bruised orange finish.
TOMMYKNOCKER ALPINE GLACIER PILSNER LAGER
Crisp mountain-watered golden-hazed German-styled pils (not to be confused with Alpine Glacier American Lager) betters its similar-named predecessor. Honeyed cereal graining backs up grassy-hopped citric zest. Lemony briskness brightens the overall mood as sourdough, baguette, white rice and sweet corn dalliances overwhelm any metallic solvency.
DOGFISH HEAD PIERCING PILS
Modest hybridized fruit-forward Czech pilsner (circa 2013) brings white pear tea and fermented pear juicing to toned down Saaz hop earthiness. Complacent Bosc and Chinese pear subtleties flutter across herbal-nipped florality, leaving sweet ‘n sour lemony grapefruit-orange spritz to contrast depleted husked corn astringency as well as barren chamomile-green tea nuances. It’s like a laid-back pear cider.
ALFA EDEL PILS
Drab spring-watered light pilsner compromises cotton-candied caramel sugaring, sweet corn incentive and soft-toned grassy hop crisping with raw-honeyed mineral grain astringency. Beneath, murky lemon-soured spritz contrasts doughy white bread sweetness. Passive blue-collar fare for indiscriminate tastes.
