Jacobsen Extra Pilsner
Jacobsen Extra Pilsner has this crisp, almost electric finish that catches you mid-sip. The noble hops cut clean without being harsh, and there's a mineral-forward dryness that lingers. You taste the grain structure early, then the bitterness arrives like a conversation starter—it's there to be noticed, not forgotten. At 5.5%, it drinks with more presence than its ABV suggests.
Three Taverns Prince of Pilsen
Three Taverns Prince of Pilsen is the quieter sibling—softer in the mouth, with a honeyed malt sweetness that rounds out the corners. The bitterness is polite rather than pointed; it fades into a gentle grain finish. This one disappears easily, which is both its strength and its character. You can drink it without thinking, or you can lean in and find the subtle merit.
