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.

Clean good taste, just perfect pilsner. Strong carbonoxide, good long after taste. Love it.

500ml can. Clear golden yellow, frothy large bubbly white head that settles into a thin lacing. Bready and sweet aroma, bit of funk, taste is not like I remember - sweet, bit of barnyard, some bitterness. Not sure if its because its from a can or just off but definitely not what I remember. Will have to try again on tap at some point and re-rate.

womencantsail (3572) - Home of Rebecca Black, California, USA - FEB 13, 2011
A: The beer pours a clear golden color with approximately one finger of foam. S: Smells pretty much like I remember it. Mostly bread and biscuit type malt notes but there is a slight hoppiness to it that I would describe as floral and spicy. T: The flavor is similarly tilted toward the malt side with enough hoppiness to keep things refreshing. Bread with some earthy notes to start it off with a slight bitterness and more floral note taking over on the finish. M: The body is light to medium with a moderate to high level of carbonation. D: Definitely one of the classics. Maybe not my favorite pils, but certainly a good one.

Aroma is distinct for the style. Color is pure gold. taste is a complex back and forth between malt sweetness and hop bitterness. It is simulataneously incredibly malty and hoppy. More malt than you would expect for such a light beer. The end is sharply bitter with a slight lingering sweetness.

Schroppfy (2319) - Łódż, Warsaw, Poland; Michigan, Ohio, USA - FEB 11, 2011
Benchmark beer, the malt is so bready, hay and bread flavors with lots of bitterness. Hops have a pepper and grass moderate aroma. Nice balance of the poles of the bready, saltine-like malt character and the noble hop bitterness character. Fresh bottle, best before mid-May. Nice effervescence throughout.

brekeriet (139) - SWEDEN - FEB 5, 2011
Bottle 330 ml. golden, clear appearance with a lasting thin head. Aroma: Sweet, hoppy, diacetyl, unfortunately quite oxidised. Sweet (sweeter than I remember) taste with a distinct bitterness. Light body with average carbonation, a bit oily in palate. The beer was very oxidised which lowers the aroma and overall score. I don´t think that´s acceptable when it is 5 months left of the shelf life. The high sweetness lowers the taste and overall score for me as well . I must say that I´m dissapointed of the beer in the bottle I drunk. I will try it again some time to see if it was a coincidence. C

I have usually had to buy such a bad Finnish lagers from my near grocerystore with a very small selection but now that I found this I propapbly gonna buy this at next time again. Very nice and tasty beer for reasonable price.

Bottle shared by my brother. Clear yellow pour with a medium white head. Pilsner malt nose with crisp noble hops. Pilsner malt flavor with a crisp, clean bitter finish. Pretty solid for the style.
