Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Prince of Pilsen if you want clean American execution of a German style,
Tipopils if you want Italian subtlety and texture.
Both sit at 5% ABV with identical 38 IBUs, so the gap is craft philosophy, not alcohol or bitterness. Three Taverns nails the straightforward pilsner blueprint—crisp, efficient, forgettable in the best way. Tipopils plays it slower, building complexity that lingers past the swallow.

Three Taverns Prince of Pilsen
Prince of Pilsen tastes like someone studied the German pilsner rulebook and executed it without flourish. You get the noble hop snap upfront, a mineral undertone, and a drying finish that makes you reach for the next sip immediately. It's honest work—no hidden depths, no surprises. That's not a knock; it's refreshing restraint in a market drowning in adjectives.
Tipopils
Tipopils has this rounded mouthfeel that catches you off-guard for a pilsner this dry. The bitterness unfolds rather than hits—herbal, slightly spicy, with a faint honey sweetness that shouldn't work but does. It feels more European in temperament, the kind of beer you nurse slowly and notice different things in each glass.
