Easygoing soft-toned smoke-spiced medium body picks up dry lemon splurge to supplement cereal-grained biscuit wheat base. Cloy corn syrup usurpation may discourage expert drinkers.

By avoiding nasty skunking and flagrant soapiness typifying many below-average Polish dry lagers, this well carbonated medium body never gets too pungently sour or musk-y. Wafts of husked corn fill the nostrils, giving off hints of horsehide, hay, and raw wheat.

Musty malt aroma negatively affects bitter grain astringency, lemony hop spice, and soured honey finish, lacking resolve front to back.

Piquant Cascade hop dryness, reserved wheat wisp and mineral water crispness embrace light-bodied glee as muted fruit aroma confirms orange, tangerine and apricot tang imbuing barest spicy twang.

Top notch full-bodied golden-red pilsner builds from delightful bitter hop assertion to succinct maple sweetness mid-palate then brisk roasted barley finish. Darker, thicker, and more complex than light-bodied competition.

Ill-defined pilsner with smoked barley appeal, mucky malt sweetness, and grating grain bitterness fades to watered down diacetyl finish.

Butterscotch-honeyed sweetness and sugary crystal malting juxtapose moderate hop bitterness by slight, trite finish. Barren apple-citrus illusions fade badly. Inconsequential German-styled pils lacks pizzazz.

Canned light pilsner with passive soft-hopped wheat frontage and mild lemony grapefruit-pineapple tropicalia turns slightly acidic, wiping out mineral grain semblance. Bottled version ain’t much better.

Pale straw pearly-headed pilsner suffers from dank-grained Eastern Euro-specified soapiness, cheap hop trifle, and insignificant barley-malt waver. Boring.

Dreary dry-bodied non-alcohol brew pits chaffed wheat sham against sterile crystal malting and flat hops to soporific finish. An uninviting malt beverage that’s no excuse for an alternative to cheap pilsners.

Fluffy white head and pale gold body prove as dull as soured malt liquor nature. Barest bruised orange bittering cannot overcome phenol carbonated fizz; becomes cabbage-like when warmed.

Average Bavarian-styled pilsner enjoys early peppery prickle, but phenol hop grip and dippy citric slip fade to sour wheat limbo by soapy finish.
