Palest clear-toned pilsner may lack body, but wood-smoked pale malting and fizzy hop-spiced continuance make easygoing Brazilian everything you’d want in a light summery refreshment. Sweet grain finish picks up grassy citric souring.

Moderate-bodied, malt-sapped, hop-fueled Russian finishes with sweet water-softened baked bread gentleness. Simplicity personified.

Admirable medium-bodied pilsner with viscous yeast sediment given instant bright apricot juiciness topped by single malt Scotch persistence tethering rye-dried caramelized wheat base. Brewery defunct: 2001.

Robust amber-hazed pils extends deep grain penetration and sharp spice-hop fizz to sugary wheat biscuit luster. Richer than its light class suggests, but flat dank finish picks up harsh acidity underlying astringent fruity esters.

Differs from Yuengling’s lager by losing most of its yeast sinew and barley sweetness for processed faux-grain rigidity and acidic phenol drop-off.

Immediate sharp skunked malt waft emanates from clear-bottled pale-bodied pils. Severely dissipating lemony hop fizz lacks proper bitter bite. Mild tobacco leaf dryness and slurry plantain astringency fade to barren biscuit-y bottom. Cheap, drab, inconsequential.

Gentle hop bitterness overcomes dissipating barley, wheat, and rice sweetness, forming expected lean Asian beer template. Spring water freshness maintains crispness, but dulls the dry finish.

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.

Soft-toned cereal grain theme spiked by prickly spice hops, but quick dissolving barley-wheat finish needs richer malting.

Hardy, but rancid, opaque amber pilsner languished by spoiled orange murk, oily diacetyl must, and steely metallic undertone. Fleeting butterscotch whim overtakes brittle pumpernickel-rye encumbrance and corn husked astringency sabotaging mucky finish.

Easygoing pale-hued moderate-bodied pilsner compares favorably to Italian beers (rather than stated intention of being a Caribbean knockoff) as buttery caramel malt mouthfeel, light lemon lime spicing, wafting mandarin orange tartness and soft carbonation culminate delicate flow.

Green label and bottle reminiscent of Heineken, as well as aromatic pungent musk, grassy spice-hopped dry malting, and faded salt-watered white-breaded nicety. Needs hardier body to avoid slipping into moderate-bodied limbo.
