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.

Pours a golden clearish color with a small white head. Aroma is malt, touch of hops, and a little grass. Flavor is grass, malt, touch of hops, skink. Easy to drink and refreshing and clean. Decent Pils.

Bottle. A clear medium to dark golden beer with a small and fast disappearing white head. The aroma is quite weak, lightly malty, with some hoppiness and notes of frass, and some boiled vegetables. A bit skunky. The flavour has a medium sweetness and some notes of grass and herbs. Medium body, lively carbonatiuon, dry medium finish with medium bitterness. I used to like this beer, but everytime I retaste, it seems to me that is making worse. However more than drinkable.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a golden color with a decent white head which dissipates quickly. Aroma of malts and yeast hit you immediately w/ pour, dare I say even a little macro skunk, but it fades rather quickly. Not overly carbonated. Goes down fairly easy. Light bodied. More refreshing than anything.

Gold-yellow colour with white head. Pretty nice taste but overestimated I think. There are a lot better czech beers than this one.

Clear gold pour. Fizzy white head and rather thin in the lace department. Clean refreshing. Thin bodied notable hints of hops...it is what it is...

12 oz bottle. Pours clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma is mildly sweet biscuit with a hint of bitter hops. Flavor is fairly dry with biscuit and honey. Hops come across as slightly metallic but grow much more citrusy as it warms. A solid pilsener.

Draft - Golden yellow color with a disappearing white head. Malty flavor with notes of hops and citrus. Flavor is malty with nice hoppy bitterness. One of the best macrobreweries!

I would rate this higher if it was more consistent. I spent a summer in Prague, drank this a lot, and never tired of ; however, here in the states I’ve had good pints/bottles that remind me of that summer, and skunked-out bottles that I regret buying immediately. If it’s a good bottle, this is a great Pilsner with a unique taste that most other popular Pilsners pale in comparison to.
