Aying Pils if you want authentic German restraint,
Three Taverns Prince of Pilsen if you want a beer that pushes slightly harder.
Both clock identical IBUs at 38, but Aying's 4.8% lets the malt whisper while Three Taverns' 5% adds a touch more body and presence. The difference isn't night and day—it's the difference between a pilsner that knows its place and one that's confident enough to take up more room.

Aying Pils
Aying Pils tastes like the pilsner that doesn't need to prove anything. There's a clean, almost mineral-forward bite upfront, followed by a delicate sweetness that feels like honey dissolving on your tongue. The finish is crisp without being aggressive—it just vanishes cleanly, leaving you wanting another sip. It's the kind of beer that disappears in your glass because you're not thinking about drinking it, you're just drinking it.
Three Taverns Prince of Pilsen
Three Taverns Prince of Pilsen has more backbone. You feel the extra half-percent of alcohol as a slight warmth that sits comfortably on your palate. The hop character is more assertive—not bitter, but present—and there's a grain-forward sweetness that gives it real substance. It finishes with a subtle spicy note that lingers just long enough to remind you it's there.
