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.

JorgeLee (177) - Greater London, ENGLAND - OCT 16, 2011
UPDATED: NOV 12, 2011 Tap at Czech and Slovak House, NW6. This beer varies enormously depending on freshness and serving method (the bottle I’d give nothing like this rating) - here it is fresh and has nice grassy hoppy nose, full malty background and long bitter finish - complex without aggressive dryness/bitterness.

Tequilakongen (264) - Oslo, NORWAY - OCT 13, 2011
A bit of malts and a bit of yeast in the taste, but with the hops coming out on top of them. A yeasty, buttery aroma. Clear light amber colour, minimal white head. Rich and complex in taste for the style, however it doesn’t exactly cater to my taste buds, nor to my aromatic preferences. (Bottle)

The one and only - on tap from a tank that is (and only in Prague, Pilsen and Brno). Had quite some years on this one ... definitely the best of the mass production.Love this beer and it’s bitter taste which I can’t find in any other beer. Bottled and canned isn’t that awesome.

Lorenasa (59) - Florida, USA - OCT 9, 2011
Pours translucent gold small quickly disappearing head. Aroma typical of pilsner. Smooth going down with a sudden bitterness at the end but not overpowering

seymour (607) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - SEP 30, 2011
Tasted from bottle into lager glass. Transparent golden color with creamy, long-lasting head. Very light color and body but nonetheless complex. Noble Saaz hops yield a wonderful subtle spice. Nice round mouthfeel, not overly carbonated. Soft and spritzy. The first and foremost of pilsners, against which all others are measured.

Thebeerdude (19) - Norfolk, ENGLAND - SEP 30, 2011
UPDATED: FEB 5, 2012 500ml bottle. Aroma of hops and spices with a good golden appearance, taste was also pleasing with sweetness and citrus flavours followed by a medium biterness. Good finish to a good beer.

teddybeer (569) - Madrid, SPAIN - SEP 28, 2011
Bottle 33cl. Amber colour with off-white head that dissapears quickly. Aroma is malted, herbal, cereal, floral hopped. Taste is medium bitterness. On palate results a medium body beer, with good carbonation. Final is bitter. A very enjoyable beer.
