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.

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.

Bottle. Pours a very pale amber color with a small off-white head. A crisp, grainy, corny, grassy aroma. Thin to medium-bodied. The flavor starts off with some lightly sweet maltiness and corn. Finishes crisp, kinda wheaty, and a tad drying. An underlying skunky quality and hints of lemons throughout. Lame style. Refreshing and clean, at least.

Draft. Multiple tastings. It’s OK but I would rather go to Czech and taste it at the brewery.

From 50 Cl. bottle, bronze to amber color below a huge white head, aroma of citrus, yeast, marmalade and notes of flowers, flavor of malt, herbs and bitter finish, texture is medium very carbonated. Nice pils

Bottle. Enjoyed many times, but finally rating. Mild grassy pilsner hops, mildly sweet, slight grain, and pretty metallic, though still pretty damn good. Light palate. Solid summer drinker.

Can. Pours solid gold with white head that fades quickly. Mild citrus aroma. Little sweet with a hint of bitterness. Pretty light bodied and lively on the tongue with a long bitter finish.

Pours luminous amber with hint of gold and thick white head. Nose is fresh with citrus hops, and some pine. Palate offers a nice balance of malt with hop bitterness that yields an amazingly drinkable ale that leans to the hoppy side of things. Medium bodied.
