Impossibly simple yet gently effective Chinese pilsner never allows unduly skunked malt waft to prohibit crisp-watered lemony hop pep and cracked barleycorn nicety from reaching fizzy soft-toned nirvana. At finish, pearly-headed palest-bodied lightweight levels astringent corn trepidation with nice rice splice.

Swift citric-hop softness agitates sugared malts and dry rye snip of musty lemon-wafted medium-bodied pilsner. Grassy barnyard-hay astringency encumbers minor herbal spell.

Acceptable clear-bodied pearl-headed pils with initial skunked grain malting settling above buttery wheat groove. Mild citric sweetness guards floral grapefruit bittering enveloping crisp grassy hop backdrop. So drink a Dink, as the old ad says.

Murky grains dominate sullen hops as a gust of sweet wheat gets lost amidst ill-defined cardboard din. Apprehensive sourdough finish a bit disappointing. Still, richer and heartier than most slack pilsners.

Icelandic-styled light-bodied golden-amber pilsner coddles wheat-chaffed fresh-cut hay dryness as sour green apple tartness rises, but drab diacetyl finish puts this in mainstream territory.

Strong musk-like stench, simple soapy flow, and polite bitter grain presence up-front. But don’t let ‘light’ tag fool you. By no means a processed macrobrew like Bud or Miller Lite, though lacking malt character of better domestic pilsners.

Unlike many yellowed Latin brews, iconic Dominian medium body is never reliant on tequila familiarity. Fizzy carbonation, foamy head, sugared corn malting and aromatic spices adapt skunked barley hop acerbity. Unassuming cracked wheat finish retains salty bitterness and buttery silkiness, giving it slight edge over Corona (which has better water) and Dos Equis (which has balmier finish).

Wheat-based pilsner lacks punch. Mild fruity hop essence initially half-pleasant, but not nearly as distinct and firm as it should be.

Bready yeast moderation tethers tingly hop sedation, giving rust-clouded web-laced pilsner initial light-bodied luster. Beyond delicately carbolic fresh-watered flow resides bittersweet fruited tang that suits tame simplicity.

Rancid pale-toned puffy-headed pils clashes harsh corn sugar malt thud against tedious fizzy sweetness for irritating malt liquor-lacquered cud.

Bitterly pungent puffy white-headed mild body lacking expected ‘tropical’ fruitiness. Fizzy hops streamline sweet barley tones to soapy finish.

Mildest maize and straw wheat astringency barely registers for watery carbolic bantamweight. Inconsequential.
