CORONA EXTRA PILSENER

The poor sister to Modelo Especial Pale Lager much like Busch is to Michelob. Typically light, watery, fizzy Mexican pils with agave splash mired by unobtrusive neutrality; skunked if warmed (so drink quickly!). Better canned version deletes dreary Tequila dash for richer grain husk and slight yellow fruit dalliance blue collar Americans favor. Try with lemon slice over seafood dinner.

RINGNES PILSENER

Pungent gold-hazed premium pils with all-too-familiar Nordic yeast souring. Unlikely Mexican-related agave spicing and floral accents pique interest temporarily but overwhelmingly musty pilsner malting brings raunchy astringency. Barest hint of mocha found at ambiguous finish. Barely thicker, richer than most one dimensional pilsners.
