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.

I don’t understand the success of this beer. Definitely one of the worse czech pils, way too bitter...

Unpasteurized bottle sample at a tasting at the Dancing Camel. Thanks beerandbeyond. Pours clear golden with foam that quickly dissolves. Rich malty aroma with some honey sweetness. Bitter and Czech-hop mouth. Light body, soft carbonation dry finish - fresh and fun.

luttonm (852) - Belgrade, SERBIA - JAN 30, 2012
.5l can brought back to Belgrade from Prague. Glad to taste the real stuff, even if it is from a can. Nice balanced malty gold body with off white head that stays to play. Balanced but beautifully hop-forward and tart flower notes. Warm, juicy bittering throughout. Refined, and above all tasty. Lives up to expectations

Very good for a pilsner. Hoppy and bitter. Prefer the draught version that comes without skunkiness

UPDATED: JAN 30, 2012 Tohle pivo je pro mne referenční eurostandard (v dobrém slova smyslu). Jako mladší (ještě za totality) to bylo pro mě pivo č. 1. Dnes jen standard ( i když pivo na exkurzi v Plzni bylo naprosto exkluzívní), bohužel to co se čepuje u nás v hospodách, nemá s tím z Plzně nic společného.

A fresh pilsener with a good hit of hop and a nice dry, bitter finish.

Aroma I find to be very slight skunk with malt and toast. Taste is of slight malt with a nice hop kicker with a slight lemony citris taste and quite bitter on the palate. Bitter after taste, slightly sour as well. All around not too bad.

Doftern och utseendet kan vi snart lägga ĺt sidan (helt okey men inget att ägna mycket kraft ĺt), det är den fylliga och stora smaken som är den här ölens stora fördel. Citrus, hö, kryddor... Ytterst trevligt.
