The Belgian Pils I use pretty much every time is Castle, and I think it has a subtle sweet grape character, where Weyermann is the German Pils I've used mostly (though Best is great) and I think it has a slightly grainy, crackery character. But I just made a German Pils with all Avangard - My LHBS is going with Avangard as their only German Pils , so I gave it a shot. I'm curious to see how it compares to other pils malts. I have heard good things about it from a few brewers though.
