However the Pilsner worked for me, but we are talking about a Pilsner here, so if you're looking for a lot of complexity, you're looking in the wrong place. And as to jofillips point, no, it shouldn't taste like pennies

I still order Trad fairly regularly when I'm out and it's definitely inconsistent. Maybe it just depends how much of it a particular bar moves and how old their kegs are, but I swear I get some pints that can only be described as 'sweet', where as typically it's a decently balanced malt flavour.
Heck sometimes I'll have a pint at lunch downtown, then a pint that evening at my local watering hole and there is a noticeable difference in flavour/profile.
