Pilsner Urquell

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

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.

Poured a clear golden yellow with a 1" white head that went down quickly. There were quite a few carbonation bubbles rising in the glass. The aroma was a mild malt one. The initial taste was good and crisp with lots of carbonation. There was a slight hops bite and a little sweetness there too. The mild hops bite lasted onto the finish and was refreshing.

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.
