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.

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.

Bottle 50cl. Pours a golden coloured brew with fluffy white head. Slightly grainy, hoppy and somehow a hint of wooden taste. Champagne-like carbonisation. Very drinkable and indeed a classic.

Pours clear pale yellow with a couple fingers of white head. Aroma initially quite skunky, then as that dissipates there is some honeyish sweetness, sourish dishrag and strangely, mint. Mouthfeel smoothish but lightly prickly. Some nice rings of lacing. Flavor is very light sweetish honey, corn, paper and cereal, along with a bit of a sour twang and mint. Could write this off as just another bad pale lager experience except for a noticeable light hoppy bitter bite in finish with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Bottle from Rum Runner.

Pours golden with lasting white head. Very malty and flowery nose from the Saaz hops. Flavour is fruity and the perfect balance of pale malt. Perhaps the best session beer around. There’s nothing like enjoying a few of these on the Bohemian homeland.

Golden see-through yellow with a low white head leaving light lace behind. Slight hop aroma combined with malts leaves a pepperoni like aroma in the nose. Medium body with a spicy, meaty, sun-dried tomatoe flavor and dry malty spice to the finish. Nice pilsner. 500ml bottle purchased in NRW Germany.

Pours a very light yellow with a small and quickly diminishing head. Aromas of freshly cut grass, lime and herbs. A fruity pilsner with flavors of apple, citrus, coriander and bubblegum. A watery mouthfeel with a soft carbonation. Leaves a bitter, hoppy finish that lasts. Not bad.
