PASigThat beer can have a skunkiness to it especially if it wasn’t stored properly.

goose5Every single one I've ever had has been skunky. Light green bottle subject to light strike, shipped over in hot hold and distributed in non-refrigerated trucks.

dsietsThe light-struck flavor is so common that people expect it to taste that way.
I've never tried the Silver.
If I want a beer close to that style, I like the Pilsner Urquell in cans.

goose5I found an Austrian beer that set up a brewery in California. Trumer Pils. If I can find it in cans it's good, but in bottles it's the same story. Skunky beyond all measure. Starting out I thought the skunk was what it was supposed to taste like, and thought it was good. A friend and I drank a bunch of Lowenbrau back in the day. Touring the Coors plant in Golden at the end they held a tasting and said which is Coors and which is the expensive import. One glass was skunky and I thought that was the import. Nope, it was Coors that they purposefully ruined.
