BAMBERGER MAHR’S PILSNER
EFES PILSENER
BAVARIA HOLLAND PILSNER
Aromatic mineral-grained lightness more typical of moderate-bodied American pilsner draught than most casual Euro brews. Creamy English-style barley-malt saturation, moldy bread scant, and citric slip embittered by grassy hop swathe, assuring well-balanced versatility perfect for Bud drinkers yet to discover the beauty of a true handcrafted lager.

SIERRA NEVADA SUMMERFEST 2006 PILSNER
Marginally better bottle-conditioned ’06 version of Czech-styled pilsner layers sleekly soft floral-hopped grapefruit-lemon fizz, thin green grape-apricot-apple sass, and earthen barnyard waft atop fragile cracked wheat spine. Pale translucent body and white head seem as delicate as its baked bread finish, but metallic tinge impairs mild rye sag.
