Pilsner Urquell

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

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.

From bottle. Crisp dry and refreshing. Palate very light. somewhat one dimensional. was a bit dissapointed

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.
