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.

JanLaursen (721) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - AUG 22, 2011
Can, 50 cl: Clear golden beer with a minimal white head. Inviting malty and floral aroma: Hints of bread, hay, little caramel and grass. Taste is fruity, light sweet and medium bitter with a dry, hoppy finish. Light in body, oily texture, average carbonation. Not exceptional, but the high drinkability makes this one a classic.

a good Pilsner, but that’s what you’d expect. solid dark gold colour wirh a good foamy head. aroma is biscuit and bread. initial sweetness on the tongue then dancing carbonation alongside more biscuit and a good malt and hop bitterness to finish. not really my choice of drink but probably usful on a summer afternoon.

matthasson (254) - Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 20, 2011
Light grain, bready/cracker aroma. Saaz hops jump out with a slight spicy/perfume aroma. Excellent clarity and white head. Flavor displays a solid maltiness rounded by a hoppy bitterness. Bit spicy, subtle diacetyl notes. Get somewhat of a dry skunky aftertaste. Medium body, medium carbonation, also a bit astringent due to the bitterness.

Benjii (1686) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - AUG 20, 2011
Draft at Hendricks. Pours a golden colour with a decent white head. Aroma of yeast, barley, grassy hops and caramel. Similar flavours with moderate bitterness and a grassy hop linger. Quite refreshing. A very good example of the style. Moderate carbonation with a light CO2 prickle.

scarletfire65 (420) - Rockaway Park, New York, USA - AUG 20, 2011
Aroma is cereal and straw. Medium body with high carbonation, nice creamy then crisp palate, slight lemon rind, fresh grass, and dry hoppy finish. A classic.

EdKing (772) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 20, 2011
Keg in Wood, Marylebone. Orangey/yellow lager, nice fluffy thick white head that stays. Nose is strong cut grass, dry straw, bread and cereal malt. Taste is sweetish cereal malt with dry grassy hops. In a pub full of boring lagers this was an escape route.

Mora2000 (2732) - Dallas, Texas, USA - AUG 18, 2011
The beer pours a yellow color with a white head. The aroma is grass and bread with a little bit of citrus mixed in. The flavor has a little bit of bitterness from the hops, as well as some bready malt. I also get a little bit of spice from the hops which mixes very well with the other components. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
