   Just when I thought the definitions of Pilsner had gotten numerous 
enough... :-)

    I see your point, but I'm not sure I'd agree, though again, 'Pilsner' is
one of those terms that can be defined as tightly ('Only beer from
Pilsen') or as broadly ('Any golden lager') as you wish. I believe Pilsner 
Urquell uses Saaz hops exclusively, and that sets a precedent that's 
admittedly hard to argue with.  But many German Pilsners use different hops
(especially Hallertau and Tettnang, which is what I think Sam Adams uses) 
with good results. Maybe it'd be more accurate to say that Sam Adams is
a Germanic-style Pilsner.  

     My own definition of a Pilsner would be something like this: A
lager of around 5% alcohol by volume with a gravity of about 1048, a golden
color, a hoppy aroma and palette, and a dry finish. This is specific enough
to exclude such beers as Miller Lite, but not so narrow as to eliminate
beers that, though not from Pilsen, are recognizeably in the same general
style. 

    As to Sam Adams, its color is slightly fuller than that of most
Pilsners, but it fits the rest of the definition (including, I would argue, 
having a dry finish) closely enough to justify the Pilsner designation. But
since the Pilsner definition isn't universally agreed upon (and since
assigning a style to any given beer can be tricky at times), I won't claim
that as anything more than my opinion.

  Thomas Hardy's is definitely worth trying at least once, though the cost 
  is steep. Thomas Hardy's is essentially a bottle conditioned Barley Wine
  (though it's not marketed as such) of about 12.5% alcohol by volume. It's
  fairly rare, and each bottle is numbered and dated. 

  If you can, get some that's at least a year old. Thomas Hardy's changes
  noticeably with age. When it's young, it's very sweet and syrupy, almost
  unpleasantly so. After about two years, it develops a tangy dryness not
  unlike a sherry, and its body seems to firm somewhat. The brewer claims 
  that it reaches its peak at about 5 years and will last for 25. I have a
  small stock of Thomas Hardy's that's approaching its 6th birthday, and
  I use it as an occasional treat. 

  Don't be put off by the six-ounce bottles, That's about as much as I'd
  want to drink at a sitting.

I got it at a store called "The Bunnpenny" which is a (I think) chain of 
deli/wine/coffee/beer stores around the Baltimore MD. Area.

Ohio has a few stupid laws that basically say that strong stuff like 
Thomas Hardy's isn't legal to be sold in Ohio.

Probably not.  More likely that the glass you were using wasn't REAL clean.
I have found the same situation when the glass I am using is clean, but 
has been sitting in the cabinet for a while.  Now I get a glass, wash it
again, then pour and the head seems to last longer.

It's all relative, of course... I bet a Schooner would taste like water

I mainly wanted to participate in the once-in-a-lifetime chance to

We get Michael Shea's down here in Philly and I can vouch that it's pretty
tasty particularly for an inexpensive beer ($14/case). I grew up in Rochester
and generally wouldn't touch anything from Genesee but this is definately an
exception.

Michael Shea's has a nice medium amber color, decent nose, a pleasent level of
hopiness. The aftertaste is fairly clean. Sort of reminds me of Killian's 
before Coors basterdized the recipe.

Considering that it's in the same price range as BudMillCoors, Labatt's, etc.
I'd say that it's an exceptional value.

As for the exact connection with Genesee (the label says 'brewed by the Micheal
Shea Brewery, Rochester, NY' or something to that effect), I'm not exactly sure.
Anyone got any information?
