Challenger 1
Name: Hacker-Pschorr Munchener Gold
Origin: Germany
Alcohol: 5.5%
Price: USD2.29/bottle USD0.46/100mL
This was a good, smooth, light beer. Nothing outstanding, nothing unique, but solid. Final score 6.65/10.
Challenger 2
Name: Baron Bohemian Tmavy Lezak
Origin: Czech Republic
Alcohol: 4.7%
Price: USD2.33/bottle USD0.47/100mL

Challenger 3
Name: Kulmbacher Export
Origin: Germany
Alcohol: 5.4%
Price: USD3.05/bottle USD0.61/100mL
Starts with a sweet floral scent, but is deceiving, because there is a strong rubbing alcohol finish. Final score 3.5/10.
Challenger 4
Name: Krusovice Imperial
Origin: Czech Republic
Alcohol: 5%
Price: USD2.55/bottle USD0.51/100mL
Smells a bit like urine. Fizzy with no taste. Final score 4.9/10.
Challenger 5
Name: Tyskie
Origin: Poland
Alcohol: 5.5%
Price: USD2.80/bottle USD0.56/100mL
No particular aroma. Taste is bland and lacks character. But kind of has a refreshing finish! Final score 6.15/10.
Challenger 6
Name: Zywiec
Origin: Poland
Alcohol: 5.5%
Price: USD2.75/bottle USD0.55/100mL
I like the label design. Claims to be Poland's "#1 Premium Beer". Doesn't smell that good though. Taste is watery and slightly bitter. Final score 5.45/10.
Asahi "The Master" Pilsner takes win #5!
