This is good advice. Many pilsners will fit into the decription you gave. Japanese beers, and most American factory beer (like Budweiser, Miller, etc.) have too much rice in the grain bill, which robs them of flavor. And they are brewed to be bland - and have almost no hops flavor either. Of course, what I forget is that a lot of people like that. If that is your style, get Budweiser. That is the one I get when I get a very light flavored American style lager. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Definitely.
And are heavily carbonated, which masks the flavor even more. And are generally kept by most establishments at nearly freezing and/or are served in a frozen mug, which further robs a beer of its flavor. | |||

Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy is perhaps my favorite go-to summer beer. Crisp, clean, and with a great flavor. A very light hefeweizen. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

I was going to suggest wheat beers also. However if you want a clean crisp taste you may want to stay away from the German and Belgian wheat’s. Those beers can sometimes have a funky taste to them. Not all of them but I couldn’t tell you what brands to stay away from. I would go with an American wheat beer. A lot of the summer seasonals are wheat beers. Apart from that any of the better known Brewers have a good summer Ales every year. Sam summer is a good choice. These go to eleven. | |||

For me I keep it simple. Heineken hits all the marks in your request. It's not hoppy like so many European lagers. The colder it is the cleaner it is in my experience. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

+1 My Summer beer for all the things you mention. Can drink many on hot days without feeling bloated or heavy light a lot of the Lagers mentioned. Its lighter than Stella...which is my Fall/Winter choice. _____________________________ Pledge allegiance or pack your bag!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I’ve had many of the ones mentioned but not in some time. Straubs (St Mary) has my attention. Originally from PA myself, I’ve seen them, never had one. Now to get one! Not sure how I’d like the rice lager of the Japanese beers but Kirin Ichiban may work. Been awhile since I’ve had the Canadians but, yeah, from what I remember a Labatt’s Blue or the Molson Canadian would fit the bill. I’ll take that suggestion under advisement. The Czech beers are easy drinking and good and I could put down more than a few Krusovices (light or dark) in an afternoon. Do not care for the Hefeweizen beers in general and I’m confident that the Yuengling made in PA is better than the stuff I get from the brewery here in Tampa. Rolling Rock was a good beer till they were sold to Anheuser in 2006 and closed the Latrobe Brewery in western PA. Moved production to NJ. I noticed a difference in quality immediately, a real shame. | |||

Yes, Pilsner Urquell is what you are looking for. As a backup, rty Augustiner Brau, or St. Pauli Girl, Tuborg might also fit the bill. If you are in an area with few brands from which to choose, Heinekin is almost always available. | |||

I’m a super home-brewer beer nerd. Even so, for what your wanting I’d gowith the Yeungling, Pilsner Urquell, Stella recommendations. Or any micro pilsner or light lager which should have a lot more flavor than the macro beers. “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

If you get Yuengling, make sure it’s in the cans. The green bottles make it taste like Budwater. Any true to style Helles lager or pilsner will fit the bill also. Modelo is a good, widely available choice. Most Mexican lagers are German style and will get you the flavor/character you’re looking for. Lots of grocery stores have a make your own 6 pack section now and craft stores almost always offer singles. If you have any in your area, go in and talk to the person working the counter. Tell them what you’re looking for and pick up a few things to try. | |||

Next time you drive up through Georgia, grab some Terrapin Golden Ale. Only sold in-state, but it's my go-to. For a more lagery taste, I love Modelo Especial and Becks. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

as a hop head and beer geeky person, Coors Banquet is my go to pizza beer, slice of deluxe and a cold Coors, delicious https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

worth a try, but note, one of the flavor profiles for most Wits or Weiss (wheat) beer is banana , not always present, and each brand has its own profile, even for the same style, Berlinerweisse is fantastic, nice and crisp, but slightly sour, https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||
