I recall it was thought of as that  at one but it was never really very good, 
IMO.  As a mediocre euro lager, not best in  class ever-- not that it is my 
favorite style.  
We have astoundingly good microbreweries within driving distance and don't have 
to put up with such swill anymore.  I am sure there are wonderful offerings in 
the country of origin as well.

That beer never ranks well for good reason and it doesn't age well in those 
green bottles that can make it even worse.  (Hop isohumulones are degraded by 
photochemical reactions leading to yuck)

I have a few Whirlpools from  Night shift brewery--a wonderfully bright APA  
and Mayflower Porter--an English Porter style in the fridge now.

I happen to like both styles, but these are superb examples of each.  

No swill  pour moi, Mike
