Promising wheat-fronted pumpernickel-rye theme levels off nicely to bread-y yeast lightness as casual off dry Saaz hop fizz and crisp artisan water flow suit softer Czech pils palates, avoiding dank souring miring some Eastern Euro competition.
Strong wheat thrust, peppy hop-spiced bitterness, and lively carbolic fizz consume brisk mineral water flow of sour-fruited moderate body. Reminiscent of musk-y Dutch brews best suited to brutish bitter fans.
Bland puffy-headed blonde Ukrainian with washed out hop fizz and hints of berry. Typical of most Eastern Euros from Germany, Czech Republic, and Russia thanks to straightforward grain-based familiarity and brisk hop splotch.
Foamy Bavarian-styled pils with smoked barleymalts bearing down on bitter hop opening. Delicate cocoa tones provide shadowy mocha presence to moderate citric finish.
Soapy, sweet yeast-injected, clear-bodied German pilsener runs out of steam by bland burnt toast finish. Peppy hop bitterness creeps through soft caramel creaminess but pungent sour malting lacks detailed interior of similarly-styled Beck’s Light Lager.
Musty-scented, fizzy, flat, and watery, but less predictable than chemically processed ‘light’ crap. Meager lime-y citrus notes perk up otherwise glum finish.
