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.

Pilsner Urquel poured clear and gold with little head. It’s aroma is of malt and floral hops. It had a great presence on the palate with nice contest between the malts and hops with the hops winning out in the end. Refreshing and very drinkable.

spicy hop and a touch of honey aroma. Great appearance - rich gold with a pillowy head. A touch of corn and honey flavour, then the hop spice kicks in. A semi-sweet, pleasant apple-juice tang matched by an assertive bitterness to finish.

Very thin head, with a great aftertaste that is slightly bitter yet a crisp cool and refreshing taste. Not bad for a fairly large produced commercial beer

a- pours a crystal clear, light golden hue with a medium, white, creamy head that is mostly diminishing, minimal lacing s- nose is light and refreshing, clean malts well balanced with the Czech malts, tones of grain and corn t- initial flavor of corn-based malts followed by a brief hop bitterness that is short in duration m- watery and slick texture, slightly overcarbonated d- Nice, light, and refreshing Pilsner that is very easy to drink particularly given the low alcohol presence, nothing too complex or exciting but noticeably better than most domestic pilsners

When they say this is the meter that all other pilseners are held to, they aren’t kidding. This is truly exceptional.

Poured from 12oz. bottle into pint glass. Aroma - malt, carmel, and grassy hops. Appearance - Golden in color with 1 finger white head. Nice lacing on glass. Flavor - Nice light carmel malt flavor upfront with Saaz hops on the finish Palate - Light to medium. Nicely carbonated with a crisp hops bite on the finish. Overall - I would choose this over a wheat or hefe on a warm summer day. Very refreshing.

This is my favorite. This was my gateway beer to drinking better beer, and I will always be grateful for that. I have had beers that knocked my socks off with their hoppiness, but I have never found one that can replace this as my fave. Wonderful hop flavor, not too overpowering, smooth as can be and drinkability that is unsurpassed. I reccomend this beer to all my beerdrinking friends. I have yet to have anyone not like it.
