Never had a LSL, but Lone Star is a mighty fine beer ice cold on a hot summer day. I think it got lumped together with Pearl and PBR as cheap nasty beer just because it's always been inexpensive.
But it's really a good lager.
Shoot, I'm old enough to remember when Shiner Bock was THE cheapest beer. It was all we could afford to buy a couple of kegs of for parties... LOL Then the preppies "discovered" it and look at what it costs now....
