So it sounds like the pils simply can use slightly more boiling hops. Interesting.

Found this chart. Shows pils 25-45 bitterness and blonde lager 15-28 or so. Apparently some overlap so it's subjective in that range. Huh.

Those beers are expensive for you ? Never imagined to hear that a pils, or worse an heineken, could be expensive.
Heineken is one of the cheapest beer around here, and basically no one drinks it where I come from.

I love ale. Belgian beer ale are the best, trappist if you can. Try a Kwak or a Triple Karmeliet and I'll be damned if you ever go back drinking Pils.
Chimay blue, Trappist Rochefort, Chouffe are among my favorite.

Our prices are high, but not near the highest in the world.

Look at world prices for a 6-pack of Heineken. Canada is above average, but not in the top quintile.

It's even more glaring if you look at a bottle of Johnny Walker:

Unless you drink Heineken in Holland then you ain't drank Heineken. I had a session on Heineken in England a few years ago. Next morning I wanted to die, must be full of chemicals. Never touched it since. Dommelsche is a much better tasting Dutch lager and not so severe on the bonce the next morning. Nowadays I stick to the top shelf, gotta watch the expanding waistline.

I have always disliked Heineken. I spent a couple of months in the Netherlands and thought it would taste better... it did not.

I have always been neutral towards it. It's not me first choice but it's far from last too.

My buddy loved it and when I said it's usually skunky he replied, "That's part of what I like about it. When I smell skunk I think of Heineken."

My standby beers are getting old, I checked yesterday to make sure none of them are in bottles.

Yes, I suppose it depends on the drinking location:

- Bar/pub - draft/draught
- Home - bottles
- Sporting event - cans

Depends on the beer too. Guinness and some others are much better from a can with the floating widget. When you open the can the co2 gets infused into the beer. Seems much more like draught.

Most Lager types or Newcastle Brown is definately more delicious from a bottle.

If it's a can I like to put it in a glass first then drink it.
