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 is exactly what a pilsner should taste like. Ultra light and clean with citrus, floral, almost soapy hop flavor. Are these Saaz hops?

33CL bottle at home, done from memory because i have had this earlier this year, what i remember: Strong smell, golden beer it was a decent beer but for me not as good as other pilseners.

viktorvee (106) - Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 28, 2013
Gold brown with an orange tinge, very fizzy. Slightly sour, sweet, malty, not a huge amount going on...bitter, tinny aftertaste. Not too keen, although flavour improves when the beer warms slightly.

CPH2200 (41) - DENMARK - APR 22, 2013
50cl can. thin head, flowery bitter taste, with a dry finish. considering this is only 4.4% abv i’m surprised it’s not watery at all. a fine pilsener by all standards.

Imaena (846) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - APR 20, 2013
Bottle. I have had this many times and still always find its crisp dry and effervescent profile to be the best beer for spring.

bobroman (42) - Torun, POLAND - APR 20, 2013
Small head with fair lacing. Clear golden body. Good hoppy aroma. Taste dominated by hoppy bitterness. Refreshing and enjoyable.

bonkiedeaap (31) - Leerdam, NETHERLANDS - APR 19, 2013
Bought a 330ml bottle at a local store. Has a blond color and a white head. Has a aroma of grass, flowers, bread and some fruits. Taste is grainy, sweet and with a very bitter afterdrunk. I can imagine you don’t like this pilsner, because of the bitter taste. A well balanced pilsner with a high carbonation. I absolutely loved it. The best pilsner I’ve ever drunk.
