Yeah, I'm hearin ya guys.I'm sure your beers were great and you loved em.
I was only putting in my 2c worth of my personal(worthless to any one but me) opinon.
I'll stick with me ales and get my lager fix commercially.

I guess the question is have you tasted any all malt home brew lagers that have been fermented with a quality lager yeast at the right temperature and then racked or lagered for an appropriate length of time, such as those Doc and Kev refer to? Unfortunately I haven't so I can't make a statement saying all HB lagers are shit.
Bundy is just a hop and a skip mate.
