Off-putting sulfuric sour mash aroma doesn’t hinder hop-fizzed bruised orange snip entangling crusted white bread efficacy and dry wheat chaff backbone of summery light body. Skirted floral quince dab dubiously fades but increasing rye influence flourishes.

Fresh tobacco aroma and lemony hop spritz introduce light-bodied pilsner. Subdued smoked spices echo across lingered butterscotch range.

Middling amber-yellowed lightweight with initial corn sugar sweetness beckoning soft hop fizz, cracked wheat slack, and crisp water flow. Starchy sourdough funk cheapens crystal malting. Happily, no chemically processed ‘lite’ beer additives detected.

Lightweight fluffy white-headed pale-cleared German-styled pilsner counters wheat-cracked sweet corn entry with mild yeast souring to salty bottom. Faint hop-spiced finish fails to overtake flat fizz banality, though watery flow and thawed grain subtlety will captivate Eastern European beer fans.

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.

Off-putting dry-bodied straw-cleared German-styled pilsner becomes metallic in a flash. Cardboard-y salted cracker astringency, petered-out pale malt dankness, and washed-out bruised lemon souring confront weirdly skewed herbal-floral nuance.

Heavily hopped citric bitterness and deep grain-roasted persistence calmed by permeating fizz of aluminum-hued medium body. Just a tad thicker, heavier, and more yeast-y than Czechvar (the original Budweiser), but less satisfying.

Straightforward light-bodied frothy-headed russet-clouded pilsner applies wheat-cracked barley biscuit overtones and mineral-grained mildness to frisky lemony-hopped seltzer fizz, procuring amber ale-like evanescence. A fine middle of the road brew.

Well-balanced bottom-fermented seasonal retains lively citrus zest, sweet berry-cherry conflux, and sharp hop bitterness. Effervescent.

Originally brewed in Austria and Germany, smooth golden lager maintains slick honeyed malt inertia, sweet corn-sugared cereal-grained dalliance, and mild hop-spiced lemon zest. Mild multigrain breading and biscuit-y finish add to light-bodied goodness.

Taking into account its ‘sell by’ date was overdue by December ’04, possibly deterring mediocre Czech lagers’ chances, its butterscotch tingle and oily popcorn backdrop form musty yeast-soured center. Brisk Saaz hops enliven minor citric zest.

Unassuming pale-blanched white-headed lark bends sweet malt stickiness into dull sour candy dreck and mild grassy hop bittering, barely beating out watery American macrobrews.
