Presidente is not that great 9/11/2010 2:51:58 AM |
dustm All American 14296 Posts user info edit post |
its arguably better than pilsner urquell
and if you think they are not that great, consider that they have an aromatic head like a good bag of pot... i mean IMHO they are pretty good. also they are how pilsners are supposed to taste. tell me a better tasting pilsner. 9/11/2010 2:53:48 AM |

Prima Pils from Victory Brewing
Czechvar (in the US - Budvar in the CZ)
umm...
Warsteiner makes a decent pils so does Brooklyn Brewery
^ if you like the smell/taste of hops I recommend you switch to a heady IPA like Dogfish Head 60 Minute or Hoppyum from Foothills if you wanna do the local beer

I've just got a problem with Presidente because I overpaid for deuces of it at bodegas in NYC that didn't store their beer properly
it didn't take long for me to just switch to Ballantine Ale 9/11/2010 2:59:32 AM |

well sure i drank some hoppy-yum at sadlacks tonight
but its not a 'true pilsner'...
when i think of pilsner i think of pilsner urquell
and a fresh bubbly taste plus a potty head, not excessive hopps
maybe its just skunky beer taste? delicious, skunky beer 9/11/2010 3:01:32 AM |

Hoppyum isn't a pilsner at all
its an India Pale Ale
pils is a form of lager, not an ale at all 9/11/2010 3:02:39 AM |

^^^ohh... yeah.. overpaying for beer will make you bitter.
may have to try ballantyne.. how much for a siz pack? this presidente was 8 at the HT, which is probably more than what its worth, but probably on par for prices in raleigh

more pils for you to try
Staropramen (Czech) Radeberger (German)
^I'd get Ballantine for like $1.25 to $2 per deuce at bodegas around Brooklyn
the point here being that Presidente (like Ballantine) is available in a 40 oz bottle because of this it loses a little cred in my mind

yeeeahh... i hear ya, but better than bud or coors light (yet to see regular coors in a 40, but if i did i'd be on it)
anyway, have you had lone rider peacemaker? that shit smells just like pot... (not trying to dwell on the pot thing, but damn, makes a good beer) I've had it fresh at the brewery, amazing stuff. They made me get off the railing outside 9/11/2010 3:12:41 AM |

I really do enjoy a good pils though but I don't think of it as beer so much as a reasonable alternative to soda/water
I traveled around central and eastern Europe a bit and would often have a small glass of pils with my breakfast
^ not familiar with that beer - where is it from, etc?

the best beer warm the next day i've ever had was a pils (pilsner urquel)... tastes just like it does cold. plus its only like 4%... is that pretty standard for pilsners? perty mild, definitely like drinking soda
