OSKAR BLUES MAMA’S LITTLE YELLA PILS
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. Kolsch-like ale yeast brings latent green grape esters and champagne sparkle.
CHUCKANUT PILS
Adequate yellow-fruited, corn-malted, cereal-grained pilsner brings herbal-tinged lemon spoilage to the fore. But German-styled moderation’s murky orange-grapefruit meander needs better thrust.
(ANHEUSER-BUSCH) BUD LITE GOLDEN WHEAT
Boringly astringent and completely insignificant Bud Lite derivative flattens out metallic phenol hop coarseness with meager orange-peeled corainder wisp to frail white bread staleness. Lacking sufficient salty-grained bitterness, and worse, efficient counteractive malt sweetness, this fizzy orange seltzer approximation goes nowhere fast.
LOWENBRAU PILSNER
KELSO PILSNER
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.
BROWN’S TOMHANNOCK PILSNER
CERVEZA LA TROPICAL PILSENER
STONEY’S LIGHT PILSNER
ALMAZA PILSENER
HARPOON PILSNER
Tannic cranberry tartness and tangy apple-peach fruiting provide up-front thrust. Easy and smooth on the tongue without interrupting full-bodied bite, as maple-sweetened malts and casual sharp-hopped spicing form core. Robust and adventurous for pilsner class, leaving pleasant (if not truly distinct) dry finish that could be mistaken for fine red ale.
MAES PILS
Fair pale-toned bubbly-headed German-styled Belgian pilsner with unassuming corn-soured aroma, dry metallic mouthfeel and buttered biscuit cereal graining. Subtle lemon-laced mist provide easy drinkin’ flow for weak, metallic light-bodied Belgian. Insufficiently thin malt backbone strictly for lightweights.
