Utica Club

This is a surprisingly refreshing and tasty pilsener. It boasts that it was the first beer licensed and sold after Prohibition, and it has an unusual, old-timey feel and taste to it. It makes me feel like there is some truth to what people say. If this is what an everyday beer was like, maybe beer did have more taste in the days before I started drinking it. This is a good beer that feels mainstream but yet has so much flavor--for me, one of the better examples of the pilsener variety.

Blue Paddle

A better pilsner than Joe's, IMO. At least it knows what it is.

Joe's Pilsner

This one claims it's not your old man's pilsner, which it's not--it's definitely different, but not necessarily for the better. I'm not a fan of pilsners generally, but this one didn't improve by being not quite a true pilsner.

Prima Pils

Victory. Now this is how to do a pilsner so that it's more traditional and less tasty, imo. Probably the worst beer I have had from this brewery.

Mermaid Island

Shmaltz. A rye pilsner? Now that's the way to do it right. I'm not generally a huge pilsner fan, but this one is delicious. At this point, I'm beginning to think Shmaltz can do no wrong with its Coney Island lagers.
