Musty yeast-scented clear-bodied Heineken ‘light’ maintains white bread signature, gentle hop fizz, crisp water flow, and wheat toast finish for amiable simplicity bettering most astringent or metallic non-alcoholic rivals.

Heavily carbonated pale gold medium body with swanky yeast aroma, lively hop penetration, and hearty Bavarian-styled grains softened by crisp water to soapy off-dry finish. Competing Heineken’s bitter malt-hop fizz and Beck’s darker malted grain insistence prove more assertive. We’d swear this had more distinction in the ’80s when it wasn’t mass produced.

Billowy fluffy white head builds atop golden body as thick webbed lace coats glass of mouth puckering, harshly acidic dry pilsner reminiscent of tart Belgian gueuze. Corky perfumed waft, unusual white-peppered Band-Aid palate, and grassy-hopped blue agave-clove acccents buttress sharply vinous grape tannin bitterness, affably upending lemon-soured banana eruption.

Sedate wheat chaffed barleycorn opening and mossy earthiness coerce shy biscuit-y sweetness to casual citric hopped vegetal finish. Brewery closed due to fire 2004.

Musty malt aroma, mild burnt toast palate, and fizzy carbonation given firm grain foundation for easygoing mass appeal. Cereal-cornmeal sweetness contrasts silken hop acridity and chalky cocoa dryness, gaining more overall bitterness than comparative German competitors. Soft and watery enough to attract bourgeois middle American tastes without prohibiting heartier thirsts.

Crystal clear, gold-hued, fluffy-headed, sharp hopped pilsner soft, unassuming, and mildly sweet by dreary finish. Made for those who enjoy cheap Bud instead of ‘real’ beer.

Extra dry pilsner with murky barley sweetness, cloying butterscotch mouthfeel, and maintained fizzy carbonation. Watery texture and soapy finish make this pretty plain.

Fair yellow-cleared bohemian-styled pilsner barely overcomes disturbing cabbage waft, spoiled fruit souring, and corn-dried diacetyl mouthfeel. Cloying soda-like tongue tease and mellow hop fizz reach watery finish, nixing mellow bitterness.

Explosive carbolic flow mires bland mineral graining while mild citric-hopped tartness wavers. I don’t know… tastes closer to Pez than pils, and a weak one at that. Brewery defunct: 2006.

Shabby soured wheat bounty and putrid cabbage nose flaw citric domain. Mild lemony hop flow slides under carbolic spume. Bavarian yeast, brought in for Edel styling, does nothing to counter buttery astringency or sulfuric sniff.

Sour citric aroma, puffy white head, and yellow-tinted body consume senses initially. Slim lemon-lime astringency given unobtrusive hop fizz, softening crisp liveliness of vibrant marmalade-honeyed ‘adjunct’ pilsner changeup.

Another perfunctory clear-bodied South of the Border pilsner. Grassy grain grid, scant hop fizz, and laconic lemony bitterness dampened by indistinguishable light-stricken dullness. Serve to Miller fans on a bad day.
