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.

Can from Alepa Otaniemi. Originally rated on 16.2.2010. One of the finest bulk beers. Easy to drink, nice pilsner.

Enjoyed from the bottle while grilling out some steaks on my good friend’s back porch/pallet on a very hot, humid Chicago summer day. I didn’t make notes while I was rating this, but this really is delicious stuff that goes down very smooth and is perfect for the type of weather. Hope to enjoy again soon.

stravale (387) - Inverness, SCOTLAND - JUL 16, 2011
Keg @ No.27 Inverness 120711 Appearance - Golden lager, heavy carbonation, frothy head served in authentic glass. Aroma - lager hops, slight grassy, some cereal. Taste - lightly grassy, quite bitter Saaz hops, good light caramel and cereal malt background, some sweetness in the malt then the bitter saaz hops take over. Flavour improves as the lager warms up (unlike a lot of other lagers!). Overall - Good pilsner lager - a lot better than usual Popsi McLager.

This beer tastes like a most other pilseners, but slightly more surprising. I quite enjoyed this.

TroepHero (15) - Rheden, NETHERLANDS - JUL 13, 2011
Well, this IS the original pilsner, so since I like the bitterness a lot I am not going to rate this quality pilsner low, but since I personally like the Budweiser budvar mix of bitterness and sweetness a bit more I give this a 4.9/5.0 instead of a full 5/5. Ohh and btw, this pilsner benefits from being served cold a bit more than most pilsners do.
