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.

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

Draught. Golden colour with a small white head. Hoppy nose with some malts. Grassy hops, buttery, malts and bitterness. Medium-bodied and some bitterness in the aftertaste. Very good and refreshing pilsener.

[Look]: Deep golden color with a nice head. [Smell]: Very spicy nose, nice dry maltiness, hint of fruity and honey. [Taste]: Spicy and floral hops, biscuity, hint of roasted honey. Light to medium bodied. Very crisp and dry finish. [Overall]: One of the best pilsner in the world, also more stonger and flavorable than other typical pilsner I had.

bottle, pours light gold with a white head. Aroma is lightly hoppy with a slight skunk. Soft mouth with an almost creamy body. Sweet light malt body with a hoppy finish that ends on the dry side and begs for another sip. Delicate and refreshing.

Bottle. Pours a yellow with no head. Very weak aroma of malts and skunk. Very light body. Very easy to drink. Ok beer.

Golden Yellow Pour. No head at all. Lots of flavor in this one for a lighter brew. Refreshing, and clean tasting. smelled like a skunked beer, but i think thats just the style, i think it is the saaz hops but im not sure. thin to med mouthfeel. Overall just an okay brew for me, not a fan of the style.

On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a see-through golden body with a good amount of rising carbonation. Finger-width, white, dense head that remains on the surface throughout the session with minimal lacing. Aroma is mainly toffee malts with an even amount of grainy European hops. Flavor is very standard to the style, but this seems to have a much fresher taste than most other pils. A little maltier than other pils, giving this a bit of a fuller body. Refreshing, smooth, and lightly spiced. Some grassy hop bite to it with no real aftertaste except for a hint of sweet maltiness. Overall, the classic pils. Definitely better and fresher tasting on tap. Reliable as always.

BOTTLE: pale, carbonated, and just too difficult for me to get past the skunkiness of the flavor.
