Pretty much an IPL. A malt-forward lager with some upfront resin drying out the flavor. Tacky on the tongue; nice hop flavors that seem to balance the malt rather well. Not sure I like this trend toward 11.2 oz cans though.

A light-bodied pilsner, nice flavor, with a medium bitter pilsner finish. They said this was made by Bitburger, and though they said it was a different recipe it fits in very well with my memory of that beer. Very solid.

A nice, smooth pils, a little less bitter than I expect from a pils, shading towards what I'd like in a kolsch.

Starts of with a basic malt presence, leads to a somewhat noticeable hop presence but still finishes a bit sweet. Par for the course with German pilsners, drinkable and better than an American macro but nothing special.

Great, super-balanced, classic German Pils.

Missing the savory tang I look for just before the malt finish in German pilsners, so it can only go so high. But it's otherwise decent.
