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.

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.

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.
