Bottle. Okay, this here is a very fine pilsner! Aroma is pretty weak, a bit of a sulfur or some other odd smell to it. Tastes a bit slick, with a decent taste and body to it. Minimal aftertaste, not strong but does linger in the back of the mouth. It’s overall pretty crisp and I’d recommend it, although Pilsners aren’t really my thing. I could drink a dozen of these in a row though! 4.4% alcohol.

While this is not my favorite beer style, this particular beer is a fine pilsner representation. Pours with the clear light golden color so characteristic of the pilsner style, giving way to an impressive two-figure head. The lacing is not particularly impressive, but sufficient nonetheless. The aroma is somewhat yeasty, with hints of candy. The light mouthfeel is accompanied by a pretty sweet taste that transitions to a very mild bitterness in the finish. Overall, it’s very mild and refreshing, but nothing too terribly exciting.

20 oz draft pours a clear golden yellow with a nice white head. Aroma grassy, biscuit and very faint floral hops. Very crisp and simple, very easy to drink

Compared to Heineken, Carlsberg and original Budjedovice this is the pilsner to rule them all - tried beside each other at a lunch table there is no match for the urquell - it’s just a beer - and it’s the best of pilsners.

wish i tasted this one before miller got its grubby hands on it. they reduced it to little more than their miller high life. clear yellow with white thin head, soapy water and bread flavor. not terrible, not great.

Canned, 50 cl. Pours golden clear beer with a minimal white head. Aroma: Butter, hops and some malt. Taste: Moderate sweetness, some bitterness.. Palate: Semi-medium body, slightly oily, average carbonation. Pleasant bitter finish. Overall: It’s a great pilsener.

When sitting in the U Zlateu Tigre (probably not the correct spelling, sorry) pub in Praha this is the best beer in the world. Perfekt balance between refreshing and body. Lovely creamy foam on top. Level of diacetyl is also perfect.
