Brewed by Plzensky Prazdroj (SABMiller)
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Plzen, Czech Republic

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

Love this stuff. This is how a pilsner should taste. It pours perfect, clear, but slightly golden yellow with a light, foamy head that quickly dissipates. The aroma is sweet grassy malts, and a little citrusy hops. Taste is a perfect balance of sweet, barnyardy malts and bitter hops. It’s simple, it’s clean, it’s refreshing. The finish is long and bitter... just as a pilsner should be. This is one of the world’s great beers.

bottle@bar: had this one before, had it once slightly skunked, I feel like even when it isn’t skunked, it sort of has that very light quality or maybe it just always gets skunked here, expected more from this one, very average, kind of thin, light hops, minor bitterness in the aftertaste, mostly hoppy, dry & bitter

Michael Jackson, rest his soul, rated this a world-class pilsner. It’s the original pilsner for crying out loud and do I see ratings in the 2’s? Apologies for not being ’extreme’ enough or alcoholic enough but for the finest example of the style, look no further. I don’t care if they have gone from 5 strains of yeast to 2 or if they brew it in Poland and Russian now under SABMiller or if it’s not as malty as it was in nineteen aught four, this is Pilsner Urquell, the original pilsner, a class unto itself.

Very good pilsner. One of must to try if you have a chance. Expecially good for hot summers :)

(Plechovka 500 ml, LCBO) Kvapalina má zlatistú farbu a hlava je bezchybne penivý biela. Na nos, vôňa chleba a medu tvár kvetinové a zemitý chmeľu. Chuť je podobná, s vrcholmi a sladké zemiaky, ktoré sú ovplyvnené mierne pikantná chmeľu a ticho horké. V ústach, kvapalina má štruktúru docela priemer s dobrou nespútanosť a hladkú štruktúru. Povrchová úprava je ovplyvnená príjemnou horkosťou a vymáha ľahký sladký slad.

Clear golden with a white head. Aroma is malty, fruity and light hoppy - flowers. Flavor is medium sweet and quite bitter. Bitter and dry finish. Soft. Excellent pilsener. 140810

Bottle. Mount Albert, Ontario. I yhink I need a more powerful palette to tell my why this is supposed to be special. Not much here to differentiate between a carlsberg or a heineken - though the bottle has expired and I might need a new sample. Nice amber pour. Tough, skunky flavor. Not nice. Not smooth. I am not a fan at all. I might be in the minority here bit I don’t find anything worth coming back to in the original pilsner. Shocking disappointment.

Can. Deep golden, white head. Smells of grass and malts. Sweet malty dry taste and powerful hoppy finish. Good feel in mouth
