Nonchalant clear straw moderate-bodied German-style pilsner allows vegetal lemongrass opening to dissipate as brisk grapefruit-pineapple tang picks up slack. Dry rye, straw wheat, and baked bread provide resolute backbone and currant bittering knocks back impending soapiness. Canned version had sudsy candi-sugared bruised lemon scamper, corn-oiled nastiness, and misplaced herbal tinge.

Heavily carbonated amber-cleared pilsner lacks full-frontal crystal malt assault. Despite sturdy grain richness, soapy water finish undermines subsidized moderate hop bitterness.

Dank musty malt sweetness envelops nasty sour diacetyl funk invading near-acidic finish. But light doughy nuance and pertinent crisp carbonation save clear-toned mouthwash from being deplorable.

Puffy white-headed pils suffocated by overly anxious carbonation. Dry orange rind bitterness needs tangy-tart infusion, but instead gets iodine-like off-taste. Fizzed hops get watery, forcing unwanted tinniness to deplete finish. Brewery defunct: 2006.

Pearly-headed clear-bodied pilsner with fizzy sugared pep, scant soured yeast tenure, and light maize lilt collapses due to feeble grain base. Sunny citrus splendor softens slender soapy finish.

Snub-nose bottled, straw-hued Serbian pils retains aromatic muted peach sedation, faded buttered popcorn pleasantry, and phenol inclinations; lacking proper grain-hop assertion. Serve to Bud fans as a Euro alternative.

Astoundingly robust German-styled pilsner integrates dried chaffed wheat parch, cereal grain sweetness, and delicate citrus tingle with lively hop bitterness. Subdued barleymalt serenity edged out by musty orange peel luster and mild grapefruit twinge at spongy finish, completing this rather complex well-carbonated brew. Brooklyn Brewery remains a vastly underrated East Coast contender.

Conventional clear golden medium body stays mildly hop-embittered and nearly unassuming, as corn sugared cereal oats gently carry brittle Seltzer flow forward. Phenol metallic nature hinders chaffed wheat dryness, grapefruit sourness, herbal peppering, and vegetal reminder.

Much better on tap, where barley sweetness and fruity malt residue shine through. In the bottle, murky grains and musty malts are not fully integrated, becoming tinny lightweight dreck.

Considering Asian auspices, extremely flavorful and surprisingly fruity. Goes down smooth with softly carbonated sweet water flow. Roasted barleymalts engage orange-red fruiting to relaxing rice finish. Serve with Chinese food (if you could still find it).

Distinct musk-like hop-grained aromatics and crisp-watered bread-like yeast mouthfeel could be mistaken for Heineken (Holland’s better brand) in a heartbeat. But heavy carbolic fizz and soapy finish become obtrusive obstacles, narrowing its appeal. Canned version gets metallic.

Soured butter malt slickness dulls thin barley strand and bland soapy finish. Closer to dank grainy Eastern Euro than crisp rice-caked Asian.
