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.

Canned. Dark yellow/golden clear body, thick cloudy white head. Yeast in the aroma, some sour fruit. Grapes? Dishrag is a good description. The taste is better, with lemon, hops. Honey?

Pours a cloudy golden color with a white head. Aroma of lemon an dyeast. Smooth flavor of lemon, yeast, and some malts. Very nice for a pilsner.

500ml can. Pours golden, transparent in a tall pilsener glass. Nice carbonation with a large, disappearing head. I smell lemon, honey, yeast. Tastes buttery, bready with some metal in the flavour. I suspect that bottle equals better.

On tap at Oldsmar Tap House. Clear bright golden hue, very thick creamy white head and sticky braids of lacing. Hoppy sticky malt nose, some wheat, corn and sweet fruit. Very sensual flavors, tasty, hops and some lovely fresh malts come through eventually. Crisp, very tasty. Could drink the fuck out of this one

Pours nice golden color with a pillowy white head. Aroma is initially a little skunky, but that gives way to sweet malt, and grain. Nice sweet and crisp flavor, some corn and grain. Nice pilsner, enjoyable to drink.

NICE GOLDEN COLOR WITH A NICE FOAMY HEAD. A NICE GERMAN PILSNER WITH A STRONG BITTER AFTERTASTE. IT IS JUST AN AVERAGE BEER A LITTLE PRICEY.

What else needs to be said about this brew other than it is a classic. Really good looking after it pours, a dark golden effervesent. Very complex in flavor, piney bitterness that gives way to a slight vanilla flavor. Slight skunkyness in aroma finally gives way to a sweet malt scent. Overall, its a classic.

clear golden color with good lacing, moderate to high carbonation. starts with a crisp hoppiness and finishes clean. flavor is grapefruit, with a touch of spruce. a nice lighter beer that has some edge to it.
