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.

3,09$ for a 500ml can. I would rather have it on tap or in bottle. Metallic notes detected either by my tastebuds or my prejudiced brain towards cans. Very floral aroma, almost intriguing. Dominant notes of apple comes out first, almost like a cider but the moderate hop bitterness comes next to remind that this is a beer. Very enjoyable but I think I prefer Czechvar (Budvar) a little more, more crisp and less "applely". These are the only Czech pilseners available in Québec’s imaginary country (I hope I’m wrong).

Pours tawny, golden that leaves lacing. Aroma has tinge of apple. Clean flavor with lean body and lasting hop finish.

Similar to Holland beer. A bit skunky but about what you would expect. It really is worth a sampling if you are sick of your "regular" brew.

Gold body and white head. sweet hops aroma. Hops flavor, bitter. Crisp and dry finish. A Good Pilsner.

Bottle. Out of the over-priced, imported pilsener, this one takes the cake. It has more character than Beck’s, Heiniken or Stella. Slight hop bite. Refreshing.

A pretty basic beer. Its not bad for what it is going for, but it is quite forgettable.

För att vara en lager är den väldigt kraftfull. Med en tydligt definierad smak, utmejslad med kärlek, överraskar den med sin komplexitet. Enkel, men med ett oanat djup.

Overall Impression: One of those beer that everyone has had, that just OK, and not much more...
Its a pretty good way to judge someones beer knowledge. If you hear the sentence "I only drink good beer like Pilsner Urquell" you can go ahead and assume they haven’t actually tried good beer.
