COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
It is called the "model of meter" among beers. All other pilsners are a better or worse attempt to copy the original - the first ever Pilsner Urquell. Its unparalleled exceptionality is guaranteed by the same recipe dating from 1842.

Pour is hazy yellow with a large three-finger wide bubbly white head. Aroma is pretty faint but slightly on the sweet side with a hint of bitterness. Flavor is lightly bitter with a touch of hops in the aftertaste. Some notes of honey and czech hops. Highly carbonated.

Light yellow with white and a good carbonation. Smells floral. Taste like freshness and has a thin but nice bitter finish. Nice, clean, simple and light. This is not bad.

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Der erste Geschmack erschreckt immer etwas, der Nachgeschmack ist nicht sehr angenehm, aber das ändert sich schnell. Schmeckt sehr herb und hopfenbetont. Das Bier an sich ist etwas dunkler als ein "normales" Pils.

bergstaden (452) - Rřros, NORWAY - FEB 3, 2012
Golden with a white ehad - malty aroma - good malt body that olso has a destinct hop bitterness - some bitterness in a lingering finish - nice

I don’t understand the success of this beer. Definitely one of the worse czech pils, way too bitter...

kerenmk (139) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - JAN 31, 2012
Unpasteurized bottle sample at a tasting at the Dancing Camel. Thanks beerandbeyond. Pours clear golden with foam that quickly dissolves. Rich malty aroma with some honey sweetness. Bitter and Czech-hop mouth. Light body, soft carbonation dry finish - fresh and fun.

luttonm (851) - Belgrade, SERBIA - JAN 30, 2012
.5l can brought back to Belgrade from Prague. Glad to taste the real stuff, even if it is from a can. Nice balanced malty gold body with off white head that stays to play. Balanced but beautifully hop-forward and tart flower notes. Warm, juicy bittering throughout. Refined, and above all tasty. Lives up to expectations

Very good for a pilsner. Hoppy and bitter. Prefer the draught version that comes without skunkiness
