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.

Lagerboy (293) - British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 11, 2011
On tap at Morrisey’s Public House at Sun Peaks Resort. Nice to have a fresher pint rather than a skunky bottle! Golden yellow with a nice moderate head, strong floral hoppy aroma and taste dominates, some malt in the background. Lively carbs, very refreshing... mild bitter finish. Love it!

LiteWait (266) - New Hampshire, USA - JUL 10, 2011
On tap at Sunset Grill at Allston MA. Clear yellow thick white bubbly head. Nose of hops. Taste is flowery bitter hop grain. Reminds me of an old lady’s potpourri bathroom. I wouldn’t drink again.. glad it was only a taster. Shared with AirForceHops.

Recently had the export version, but drank the "original" last year in prague. Quite a difference... Too bad. Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma of hops and grains. Taste is fresh, quite hoppy, cereal and a bit like iron. Liked the czech version better.

maledictum (498) - Granada, SPAIN - JUL 10, 2011
Clear golden colour, carbonation, average white head, fresh aroma of hops, some malts. Crispy taste, smouth finish, one of the better pilseners

12 oz. bottle. Pours golden with a white head. Quite enjoyable with a nice balanced aroma, and a decent bitter finish. Cheers!

Not my preferred style, but decent for not an IPA. I always like that little sour note.

In my opinion this defines the perfect Pilsner. It has, in my opinion, all the qualities you look for. A perfect balance of hop and malt, beautiful color, and nice aroma. It defines the style for me.
