Simple cookie cutter brew lacks memorable sweet grain flow and loses wispy citrus fizz and predictable hop bitterness to soapy Asian-like buttered rice finish.

RINGNES PILSENER
Pungent gold-hazed premium pils with all-too-familiar Nordic yeast souring. Unlikely Mexican-related agave spicing and floral accents pique interest temporarily but overwhelmingly musty pilsner malting brings raunchy astringency. Barest hint of mocha found at ambiguous finish. Barely thicker, richer than most one dimensional pilsners.

WURZBURGER HOFBRAU PREMIUM BAVARIAN PILSNER
Insignificant musty hop-wafted, white fluffy-headed, light-bodied pilsner with dank yeast bitterness reminiscent of Holland brews such as Heineken or Peter’s Brand Pilsener. Flat carbonation, trifling citric souring, and watery flow don’t help. Bavarian? No. Closer to a bad white ale, perhaps. Try Killian’s version instead.
PACIFICO CLARA PILSNER
Typical pale-bodied Mexican done right. Clear pale yellowed suds retains fizzy lemon spritz crackling atop cardboardy French breading as distant floral perfumed agave snip wavers. Only slightly reminiscent of Dos Equis or Carta Blanca. Unassuming caramel-spiced nut graining assuages musty green apple bitterness if warmed. Perfect with spicy Mexican food, though ultimately unoriginal.

BANGKOK PILSNER
Moderately creamy, fluffy white-headed pilsner with musty aroma (closer to paint thinner) imbibing candied malt sweetness to roasted barley spine. Heavy dry-hopped carbolics nearly extinguish rye-breaded grain-smoked nut singe and complacent citric tang. Though soapier, its skunked yeast pungency compares favorably to Dutch brews.
