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.

The pilsener measuring stick! Wonderful gold in color light white head. Of all the macros I used to drink, this is one of the few I still drink.

Pours a beautiful golden colr with a medium head. Aromas of grass, malt and slight skunk. A wonderful balance of malt and Saaz hops on the palate. Nice crisp and dry finish that makes you want more. This is my favorite pilsner and probably one of my top 20 favorite beers of all time.

Pours a vivid golden color with a small white head. Light aromas of mostly malt and wheat. Good balance between the malt and hops, and had a nice dry finish. This is maybe my favorite of the macro European lagers.

Appearance: lovely golden orange with no visible carbonation and a small white head. Aroma: slight grass, some yeast, wheat, fresh corn. Flavour: tasty fresh grass, wheat. Sharp crisp bite with a lovely dry finish. I’m very surprised.

Bottle @ Metro Billiards. 4.4%. Clear yellow colour, nice white foam. Taste is quite good, light and fairly sweet, aroma is pleasant and hoppy. Certainly my favourite pilsner thus far, and fitting, given that this is the benchmark.

The original and possibly the best. Really refreshing, nice low ABV and very well priced. For me this is the best drink to be served cold on a hot day.
