You just seem like a guy who'd enjoy a roasty, malty, perhaps even barrel-aged offering, based on your posts.

A pilsner is a type of lager. What do you mean by lagers you don't prefer, exactly?

I don't know a ton about beer, so forgive me. I didn't know pilsners were a type of lager. I'm probably not educated on this subject enough to use the right words to describe what I'm talking about.
What I'd say is, if I pick up a beer that just says "lager" on the label whiteout a qualifier, I usually don't like the taste or how it hits my stomach. Which is weird because I used to love Stella. But I digress.

Perhaps what it really comes down to is the malt? Seems like just doing a quick search that it's the maltier/breadier stuff that I don't gravitate toward. Which would include the helles lagers, right?

That sweetness you find in the malt goes a little unchecked by a hop balance in a beer like that, so you may be on to something there.
Ever hear of the German Purity Law in beer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot
It's fascinating to me how a beer, made in total compliance to that law, can taste so different from another also made to spec. Those four simple ingredients yield infinite possibilities when messed around with. Science, man.
