Beer Review: Lagunitas Brewing Company Pils

This beer from Lagunitas is supposed to be a Pilsner. I suppose it is supposed to be an actual pilsner, unlike Miller Lite, which claims to be a 'true pilsner beer'. Unfortunately, this beer reminds me more of Miller Lite than an actual Pilsner...

This beer pours a pale yellow color, with lots of carbonation and head. It has a weak, limpish smell that does not inspire thoughts of great beer in Czech, as a good Pils should do. This beer has a very plain, boring taste. I would describe it as more of an average american beer, like a Miller or Bud, than a flavorful Bohemian beer with some tasty bite.

The original Pilsner, Pilsner Urquell, (which really is the original Pilsner, the claim is not just a marketing scheme from them, it is true) is much tastier than this boring, limpish, excuse for a Pilsner. If I wanted to drink beer with this little taste, I would save the money and just go out and buy a 6-pack of MGD. Not to say this beer tasted bad, it just wasn't good (like P said, "I can't give you a pound to that, but I'm not not giving you a pound".)

Overall rating 2 beer bottles out of 4.
