pilsners of all shapes and sizes

during my self-imposed hiatus from belgian beer, i sampled a range of pilsners. except for the flensburger. of the previous post, they were all so similar i'm not going to bother reviewing them individually. i tried bitburger, koenig, warsteiner, veltins, and krombacher.
they pretty much all taste like pils. high drinkability but keep it cool, conservative yet for germany high hop bitterness, standard malt filling out the body. in america, i always felt that a colt 45 was the closest thing to a german lager around, and damn good at that. some notes on the cold ones:
the krombacher was a bit thin.
the veltins i had was skunked, but nice and dry.
bitburger is the baloney of beer.

pils is an unerring default beer. you can hardly find a stand out, good or bad, in germany. if you order a pils, you're basically guaranteed to get a cold, drinkable, beer flavored beverage.
