Pilsner Urquell

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

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

On a hot day in Prague this tastes really good when served draught in a public house. Saying that I have had it in bottle form and it doesnt come close to how good it tastes on draught in the Czech republic.

This is how my perfect session lager should taste. Some spice, with a hint of lime and bread. Very refreshing and has a litte nice bitterness.

The first and the best. Pilsner Urquell is what it is - a pilsner. But when in the Czech Republic, look for pubs that serve it draught "z tanku" (from "tanks", not kegs). Kegged and bottled versions are not that good.

Nice choice if you want a lighter beer for a change. (This beer rating was imported from FB and unfortunately lacks any further comments.)

Can. Slightly hazy orange golden with a large, white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is grass of noble hops with some cereal. Taste is a bit sweet cereal in the beginning, grassy noble hops, then cereal maltiness. A grassy finish. Palate is light and refreshing.
