Another easy flowin’ Rebel brew (bottled for Svijanska Brewery). Pale yellow hue, fragrant hops, watery flow, and a nip of sour bread yeast consume billowy front end. Mild grain bitterness and light malt persistence soften skanky yeast finish reminiscent of Heineken. A pleasantly acquired taste.

Light, straw-hued, ceramic cold-filtered pilsner with sharp hopped carbonation, malted grain embellishment, and lemony lick lacks consistency and dense texture of Sapporo Reserve.

Sweet Scotch-liquored burnt wood chip entry fades abruptly, allowing insistent barley roast to contrast dry-hopped maize astringency. Dirty grain murk drags down butterscotch-spiced creaminess and grassy straw-hay backend to dull lull. Dissipating wood-smoked curry-spiced finish lacks resilience.

Woozy malt whiskey waft and musty sourdough pungency upset sweet cereal-grained corn sugar frontage and biscuit-y wheat remnant. Faint hop bittering, suspect orange candy fizz, and herbal tinge of pale medium-bodied Baltic brew reach unwelcome astringency, though grainy thickness bests most lagers.

Pure mountain spring water flows through dirty mineral grain essence to soapy finish that’s indistinguishable even for a light pale body. Conservative barleymalt saunter under-whelms.

Pale-hued ivory-headed clear-watered pilsner links perky hops and musty barleymalts to sweet maple complacency. Ultimately, too simple to be effective.

Clear pale-bodied white-headed mediocrity with short sugary cereal splurge picks up smoked wood chip tinge at prickly hop tongue, but soapy finish palls.

Succinct amber-browned lager with pervasive mineral grain frontage, lively fruit-spiced insistence, and muted chocolate-vanilla trace coalescing grassy Saaz hop bittering, finishing smooth, crisp, and richly full-bodied. Apple-candied apricot-orange subsidy pleats caramelized Vienna malting. A formidable winner!

Pungent doughy aroma-mouthfeel fits funky malt souring, cracked wheat sweetness, and flaked barley crusting. Barest orange hint aids dry moderation.

Husked wheat permanence embellished by mildly bitter Saaz hop spicing and floral lavender-violet illusions before sweet grain finish delicately subsides.

Basic straw-hued pale lager layers rice-caked barleycorn graining and glutinous wheat sweetness atop icy quartz water from underground springs. On second passing, caramelized apple, kettle corn, and butterscotch illusions distend above fizzy popcorn buttering.

Sparkly carbonation, tepid malt sweetness, and lively hop bittering inform unassuming lager too plain and simple to attract serious attention and closer to boring domestic pilsners than inviting Asian imports.
