It's all personal taste.

I just don't get that. Won't touch it.

Oh, and Michelob. Won't touch that either.

Agreed. There was a brilliant commercial a few years back that
featured people tasting rain and thinking it was raining beer.

Little difference from water.


Try Michelob Amber Boch if you can find it. Not bad for an American
beer.

Eisboch

We agree about Sam Adams, but M A B is nothing more than dark water.

Very little flavor.

There's a big difference between the bottled version and draft. We used to
keep it on tap in a kegerlator in Florida because it was the most popular
beer in the neighborhood we lived in. Not quite as heavy as Sam Adams, not
as good, but not bad.

One of my favorites while stationed in Germany was a Czeck beer called
'Pilsner Urquell'. If you've never done so, give it a shot. Our
Safaway carries them so I guess it's fairly common over here now. It
may not be much of a beer anymore either.

Pilsner type beer is named after it.

Actually Pilsner Urquell (a fairly decent beer) got it's name from the
area, Plzen.

The beer is named for the town,' pilsner' , meaning what they brew in
plzen. All the rest of the so called pilsners are named for Urquell,
the only brewery in town for, I think, 400 years. Pilsener is a
common claim, Urquell is the only true one. Pretty good beer. Some
think it is the worlds best. Hard claim to verilfy, maybe if you
specify high volumn.
Carlsberg and Tuborg, Danish, were good forty years ago last time I
had some. Beer is always on charter at every newsgroup.

Not all Pilsner Urquell is good beer. While visiting Prague, I saw
Pilsner Urquell on the shelf so I bought a couple. The label was
brown, instead of the label with the green writing and red seal. The
stuff tasted like crap - very weak and watery. Later I asked some
English speakers why it tasted so bad. It was because the good stuff
was made for export only. What I had was the stuff availabe in
Czechoslovakia.

I used to like Carlsberg and Tuborg. I don't see it that often anymore.
BTW .... the handle I've been using for the past 20 years on the Internet,
"Eisboch" is a variation of the spelling of "Eisbock", a particular type of
beer. Coors used to produce an "Eisboch" seasonally and I happened to grab
the name one day when prompted for a screen name on the old Prodigy Internet
service. Been using it ever since.
