I like Pilsner Urquell but it's a little bitter for my tastes. Same as Warsteiner - it would be good if it weren't so skunky.

The bitter is what I like about them, but the skunky is a flaw - it's not meant to be that way. Poor handling, usually - light and/or heat.

Frankly, I'm shocked at how often Czech beers reach NZ in good condition. I suspect warehousing in the American South is the real culprit - it is so often in good condition here, and was almost always skunked when I used to get it in Oklahoma. Of course, Oklahoma has arcane beer laws - it used to be (and may still be) that it was illegal to refrigerate beers over 3.2% - barbarians.
