TheHulk (106), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Feb 21, 2009 It pours and looks like a regular commercial beer, mass produced and boring. But as it gets close to your nose you realize theres something hiding in the flavour. The smell is very hoppy and the taste is nice and smooth. It finishes strong with a nice hop flavour. Cole (266), , Alberta, Canada Feb 21, 2009 From 330 ml bottle. Pours clear gold with a tall white head. Comlex aroma , pretty skunky. Flavour has lots of saaz hops perfectly melded with the malt. The flavor is perfect bitter and crisp the original pilsner . Its the standard. Papillon (172), Sudbury, Ontario, Canada Feb 21, 2009 500 mL can. Pours a yellow gold with a 2-finger foamy white head that doesn’t particularly last long but leaves some lace on the sides as it is sipped. The aroma is light malt and hops with a hint of yeast and the typical skunkiness of Euro beers. The malt and hops balance well with a mild nutty overtone. The hops come through in the aftertaste but not too overpowering, ending in a somewhat nutty finish. Actually, it tastes better than it smells. I’ll never say no to this one. 6ROW (243), corpus christi, Texas, USA Feb 21, 2009 Golden pour with a fine white head.aroma of Saaz hops. i’m not a big lager drinker but if this one is on tap i will have one Changed (161), Ithaca, New York, USA Feb 20, 2009 12oz. drank in Czech Republic & also Germany. Pours yellow, lots of carbonation in the white head. Malty, with that (what I like to call) "typical" skunkiness of Western European light beers. I can’t really say that this beer is superior to any other, but it holds a special place in my heart. Everytime I see a bottle of Urquell, I’ll be transported back to Prague and the great times I had there. Just for that simple fact, I’ll give this beer a thumbs up. trayns (237), Beverly Hills, Michigan, USA Feb 20, 2009 Bottle. A sentimental favorite of mine. Pours a yellow gold color, and a medium white head. Aroma is mild mats and toffee, but mostly hops. Taste is classic, this is the definitive beer of a whole category of modern beers. A great hoppy bite throughout and a clean taste throughout. jimmack34 (560), Lancaster, Ohio, USA Feb 18, 2009 Bottle. Had this one in 06. Poured gold with a fizzy white head. Smells of malts and light hops, slighly skunky. Tasted very crisp, with lots of grain malts, some corn, and a nice balance of bittering hops. Pretty good beer. poolboy (66), Lafayette, Indiana, USA Feb 18, 2009 My favorite Pilsner. Early taste of grain and hops. Finishes bitter with a sharp whack to the palate. Great.
