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.

Pretty big and lemony aromas light hops. A nice big cereal hit. Crisp and refreshing with some hops to finish. Not super lovely but obviously better than most easily accessible beers.

Light gold beer with really nice malt and hop flavour. So much better than anything Lion Nathan or CUB could ever produce. These brewers give Australian beer such a bad name so I have to seek out wonderous beer such as this. A pity really, but the reality of beer making in general in Australia.

Bottle. Classic beer. Wish I could have had it when fresh, rather than having traveled from the other side of the world... At least it’s not being made by Fosters or Lion at least... Nice golden colour with good long lasting head & good lacing. Nice aroma of noble hops & malty aromas too. Flavour is malty, noticeable diacetyl (but apppropraite for style), good bitterness, very moreish.

Very light blond beer with a weak head. Interesting smell.. smells basically like old urine... Yeasty taste with serious hoppiness and a brrrrr bitterness at the end which is so overwhelming it’s actually quite nice :-) The aftertaste is surprisingly smooth with the bitterness disipating into refreshing grainy wateriness.

Tap at Yard House Scottsdale. God I hate that chain when it’s not happy hour. Faintly peppery and yeasty in nose - body is a floury gold with minimal head. Flavors feature floury ’lager’ taste (but distinctly European like Budvar), nice German grain quality, stays light and finishes quickly. World classic.

On tap at Giordano’s pizza. Smelled and tasted oddly exactly like something that we couldn’t place for about 5 minutes... then, FRESH CORN TORTILLAS. THIS IS INSANE THIS IS INSANE THIS IS INSANE. Very drinkable with only the slightest bitterness.

(tap in Praha) A clear, golden beer woth thick white foam with a tint of yellow. Aroma was very low. Taste was good, nice malty sweetness with some bitterness. The mouthfeel was fitting and the aftertaste had a balanced bitterness and sweetness.

On tap. Effervescent gold with a white head, abundant lace. Floral aroma with a light honey sweetness. Flavor like liquefied fresh bread, slightly sweet, quite dry. Light to medium body with a very refreshing, crisp mouthfeel.
