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.

This was the only beer my dad would ever buy, and I hated it. Then I started drinking beer and can now appreciate it. For some really strange reason, I think it smells and tastes like Chicken soup tho. Beautiful golden color, strong head, and crisp, although short-lived taste.

Pours golden yellow color with white head. Floral hops and malty aroma. Malty with a nice, crisp bitter hop finish. Medium body with lively carbonition. Very refreshing. An excellent pilsner. I’d love to try this fresh from the source.

Bottle. Pours a golden color, not as light yellow as a lot of Pilsners, with a fluffy decently retained white head. Very clear. Aroma shows Pilsner malt and mild lager yeast characteristics. No skunk, thankfully. Typical Pilsner aroma thus far, pretty decent actually. Flavor is super clean, mildly malty with low bitterness. Dry with a quick finish. Quaffable as hell. This is all right, really. I prefer a German Pils but this is not bad at all.

Colore giallo dorato con poca schiuma bianca,l’aroma č leggermente di luppolo,sapore maltato con un finale di luppolo.Bevibile e rinfrescante.Ma attualmente un gradino sotto la Budvŕr nel gradimento delle pils ceche.

Boy, I’m kind of shocked by all the low ratings. It seems that if a beer has lower than 6% ABV it’s going to get a low rating on this site. I judged this one against others of its style. I’m not a huge pils fan but this is probably among the best of the style. I will admit that I have gotten some pretty skunky ones in this country but in Europe I’ve found them quite drinkable. Obviously if you sip this after a Belgium trippel its beer water but against other pils’ it definitely holds its own. If you dont like it get a fresh one, if you still don’t like it get another style.

On tap at The Irish Pub(nyc). The only word I can think of to describe Pilsener urquell is SMOOTH. This is the smoothest beer i’ve ever had. Needless to say it goes down easy. Pleasant taste(slightly sweet) and crisp finish.

Hefty bitter after taste that lingers for awhile. Not my favorite and I would probably choose water over this if offered.
