Pilsner Urquell

Brewed by Plzensky Prazdroj (SABMiller)
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Plzen, Czech Republic

33cl bottle poured into a footed pilsner. Sparkling straw with quite a bit of fizzy white head. Aroma is skunky hops. Flavor is very hoppy. Finish is long and bitter. Not horrible but not great.

Aroma of caramel and floral hops. Golden pour with creamy head. Flavor has some caramel, biscuit, toffee and light hops. Palate is creamy and well carbonated. Kinda reminds me of an English Bitter, but not overpasteurized like so many ESBs.

Pours standard off gold lager, white foamy head. Taste is sharply hoppy, sweet malty and vegetable-like, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes fairly bitter dry hops. Nice lager.

This is the best you-can-get-it-everywhere beer I’ve ever had (which isn’t saying much, but still). Skunky, a nice amount of hoppy bitterness. Drinkable.

To me, this beer is delicious. It seems thicker than other pilsners, giving it an aura of substance and a great sense of value. It has a perfectly balanced hop-flavor to hop-bitterness taste. It also has a decidedly European taste to it, relaying a hint of dusty cobblestoned streets and of sweaty non-airconditioned Europeans themselves (This could be real or an imagination, but nonetheless it’s there). If I were forced, God forbid, to choose one beer to drink everyday for the rest of my life, this might have to be the choice - it’s well balanced, and I like to live by the Golden Mean.

Light gold in color with a nice whit head. Aroma is biscuit, a little hops, some skunkiness. Flavor is the same, biscuit, skunk. Pretty decent beer. Wish I could try it in a better bottle to lose some of that skunk.

Not gonna blow anyone away...light gold in color decent white head, slight hop aroma with alittle sweetness of the yeast. lightly hopped flavor, with some citrusy maybe lemon and light malts - very crisp. bitter finish. Best pilsner I’ve come across - that’s not saying much...

Light golden colour with a distinct but weak aroma. Head retention is fairly low, with little lacing. Nice malty taste, with a refreshing, underlying bitterness.
