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.

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.

on tap in Prague, Rating is for Draught in ’tankova’ pubs, unpasturised and fresh makes a big difference, great hop finish

The CEO of SABMiller calls this his favorite beer. Weird that a beer company would have a CEO that didn’t know jack about beer. If this is your favorite beer then you are NOT a beer drinker. That said, it isn’t terrible. Pale golden color with average white head. Grassy hop and sweet malt on the aroma. Same on the taste, a little artificial-tasting. Crisp but a tad watery. It’s the "Steve Urquell" of beers (take that however you will).

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear golden/yellow color with a one finger white head. The aroma was very floral. The flavor was a bit skunky, but not too bad. A good bitter finish.

Same as Gary(77), i think I prefer German efforts. Not knocking this one though it is reasonably good. Plenty flowery hops in there and crisp palate
