Goose Four Star Pils

I hate pilsners and most lagers at this point. Got this in a deeply discounted mixed 12 pack. Decided to drink this now after seeing commercials for it during the Hawks game. I tipped it over so when I opened it, it foamed up all over my phone and the tests I was grading. So I'm pissed off and have every fucking reason to hate this beer . . . except it's actually fairly good! Kicks the shit out of "Bud" who's parent company owns Goose now. Handily better than Urquell, my previous ideal standard for Pilsner. I would never choose a Pilsner over an ale, except maybe for this. I laugh at the Goose commercials for their IPA saying they want to be "the best beer you drink". Their IPA is acceptable at best, 100s are better, so they have NO chance at being best. BUT, they should focus on Four Stars, because this just could be the best Pilsner out there. So this does deserve a MB for when you want a Pilsner, or when you want to get a cheap beer drinker to try something better. I will choose this over an inferior ale, because it is a wonderful lager!
