Supposedly the original ‘light beer,’ this soft-bodied pale pils isn’t processed, chemically altered ‘lite’ fare a la Miller or Butt Lite. However, sudsy washed-out fizz undermines garbled barley-hop presence. Mild bittersweet grain palate too passe to challenge dedicated drinkers.

Plain, simple pilsener with moderate barley sweetness, understated grain-hopped bitterness, and tart peach-grapefruit mist hidden below overwhelming carbonation. Zesty citrus pep deadened by swill water flow that puts it too close to cheap American macrobrews such as Schmidt’s and Black Label. Hopefully, you’ll think it’s a tad closer to Red Stripe upon further inspection.

Impressive burnished amber tone, crystal malt palate, and husked wheat dryness make this a first rate low calorie alternative. Though watery, blandly sweet, and unobtrusive, moderate grain flow remains steadfast.

Bread-like yeast aroma stinks up room quickly as cereal grain, fresh maize, and dainty citric-floral hops pep up fizzy severity. Watery pilsner substitutes usual agavi-tequila subtleties most South American brews endure for caramelized honey nut caress and rice-like Asian template (reminiscent of Tsingtao).

Unconventional flaxen-hazed light-bodied dry lager disregards customary hop-grained malting for herbal spicing and grassy barnyard asperity. Straw wheat-parched Saaz hop bite expands juniper bittering, perfumed tulip-rosebud subtlety, and black peppered rosemary-thyme tingle.

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 most astringent or metallic non-alcoholic rivals.

Heavily carbonated pale gold medium body with swanky yeast aroma, lively hop penetration, and hearty Bavarian-styled grains softened by crisp water to soapy off-dry finish. Competing Heineken’s bitter malt-hop fizz and Beck’s darker malted grain insistence prove more assertive. We’d swear this had more distinction in the ’80s when it wasn’t mass produced.

Billowy fluffy white head builds atop golden body as thick webbed lace coats glass of mouth puckering, harshly acidic dry pilsner reminiscent of tart Belgian gueuze. Corky perfumed waft, unusual white-peppered Band-Aid palate, and grassy-hopped blue agave-clove acccents buttress sharply vinous grape tannin bitterness, affably upending lemon-soured banana eruption.

Sedate wheat chaffed barleycorn opening and mossy earthiness coerce shy biscuit-y sweetness to casual citric hopped vegetal finish. Brewery closed due to fire 2004.

Musty malt aroma, mild burnt toast palate, and fizzy carbonation given firm grain foundation for easygoing mass appeal. Cereal-cornmeal sweetness contrasts silken hop acridity and chalky cocoa dryness, gaining more overall bitterness than comparative German competitors. Soft and watery enough to attract bourgeois middle American tastes without prohibiting heartier thirsts.

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.

Extra dry pilsner with murky barley sweetness, cloying butterscotch mouthfeel, and maintained fizzy carbonation. Watery texture and soapy finish make this pretty plain.
