Skunked yeast waft, soapy dishwater flow, and cloying mouthfeel ruin biscuit-y wheat cracker contour of sweet-grained moderation. Gentle grassy hop bittering underscores latent sourdough persuasion. Rivals vapid American macrobrews.

From Peru’s main port comes this grainy corn-sugared hop-infested light-bodied mainstream pilsner. Only moderately engaging in its watery simplicity.

Befuddling plastic-cardboard mouthfeel debunks sweet crystal malt chasm, light-hopped fizz, muted orange backdrop, and grassy tinge. Pass.

Briny-wafted pale-toned pils with cardboard-like grain palate and eager spiced-hop bitterness retains casual dry-bodied splendor to lightly oxidized floral finish.

Spoiled sourdough swill and acrid malt inadequacy ruin sharply astringent malt liquor-ish spew. Makes Schlitz seem appetizing. Appallingly abhorrent.

Dubious wheat-backed lightweight voids soft-toned hop fizz and slim sour apple tinge at dry popcorn finish for mainstream matinee quaff. Brewery defunct: 2008.

Golden complexion, aromatic hop jab and sweet rice caking put moderate-bodied Estonian closer to Asian brew like Asahi rather than typical pungent Eastern European fare. Unexpected prune juice ascent accommodates mellow grain-roasted caramel malting at refined finish.

Musty pale-toned malt-wafted medium-bodied Austrian underscores seltzer-watered fizz with bittersweet grassy-hopped grain compaction and bread-like yeast mildness. Acidic green apple subsidy nearly befouls firm barley base. Fine as a casual treat or served with meats and cheeses.

Shallow light-bodied pale-toned fluffy-headed Bavarian pilsner brings sour bread plainness to dank grain flank and skunked malt pungency. Thin wheat sweetness falls off at washed out finish as carbonation flattens.

Nondescript clear-toned pilsner suffers from dank soapiness and phenol spicing lesser Eastern Euro competitors succumb to. Soft-hopped piquancy, dulled wheat cracker snippet, and sullen fruitiness develop cardboard-y banality, deterring green tea, pumpernickel, and baked bread illusions.

Imaginative non-alcoholic golden-paled medium body with musty skunked malt waft and astringent grain sharpness analogous to Beck’s Pilsner. Mild hop-fizzed orange peel bitterness and off-dry lime-y bottom convincingly contrast glutinous honeyed wafer aftertaste.

Delicately bland seltzer water with skimpy mandarin orange hint and sketchy grain outline. Brewery defunct: 2008.
