The Crisp: 2.0 – What a bitter over hopped mess. Expectations were not high when this came as part of a 4 pack where the rest were IPA’s but there was hope that some solace and sanity would prevail in the pilsner, no hope could be found though. Just another bitter hoppy beer wearing a disguise.
Price Average: $20 for 15-pack sampler

Kulmbacher EKU Pils: 6.0 – Going into this fearful for another generic import, it’s actually a really nice pils. The aftertaste leaves a little bit to be desired as it sort of ‘grays out’ but it’s got good flavor, isn’t overly hopped, and it’s not disarmingly weak taste-wise.
Price Average: $3

Matsurika Pilsner: 4.0 – So this is a type of pilsner that adds jasmine petals which are called ‘Matsurika’ in Japan (hence the name). However, if you try this it feels less like a Czech pils, and oddly more like a south american lager? It’s overall not the best pils so regardless of where or what it feels like – pass.

Von Pilsner: 6.0 – It has a sort of wood or honey-like flavor to it. There’s definitely something to that effect beyond just hops and wheat. Overall it’s a nice delicious beer.
Price Average: $11 for 6-pack cans

Pride Pils: 5.0 – It’s a tiny bit hoppy for a pils, but otherwise forgettably average. Yeah. not really much to say here. The can is very pretty and the cause is nice.
Price Average: $10 for 6-pack cans

Mama’s Little Yella Pils: 4.0 – We’re not sure if it’s the design, the name, or the piss color – but this looks like cheap garbage beer even more than the actual beers we know are trash. This is fairly cheap though, no real issues – just subpar and a bit too hopped.
Price Average: $10 for 6-Pack of Tall Cans

Luppolo: 6.0 – It’s a sort of nice, mellow pilsner, and the aftertaste is clean making it nice easy drinking.

Cerpa: 4.5 – That is such a generic pilsner it’s almost comical. It is however not awful, very easy to drink, and totally inoffensive.
Price Average: $4

‘The Crisp’ Pilsner: 3.5 – This is a pils for the hipster IPA crowd. The hops and bitterness here are not everything there is to the beer, but theres certainly a bunch. The word ‘crisp’ is appropriate we guess.
Price Average: $11 for 6-pack

‘MPL’ Pilsner: 7.5 – That is a great pilsner its got a really decent amount of hops that adds a spicy element to it, but its balanced enough to make for easy drinking.
Price Average: $4
