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.

Good Czech Pils. Nothing extraordinary just a sessionable pale pilsner. Easy drinking and highly addictive it is a good beer for any occassion.

Bottle. Clear golden colour. Beautiful big and shiny white head. Aroma of malts and bread. The flavor is sweet with malt and some yeast. I would’ve liked a little more bitterness in the aftertaste. Well made.

Bottle. Pours pale golden, with a big fluffy three-finger beige head, good lacing. Smells of sweet, fruity malt and apples and fresh hay. Thin, crisp, refreshing body. Well balanced mild flavor, with a nice bitter aftertaste. I really enjoy the subtle flavor of Saaz hops. Very drinkable.

Can, draught, bottle, you name it. Golden color, white head. Hoppy aroma. Smooth bitter flavor with some grapefruit and a touch of biscuity malts and a slightly dry finish. Medium-high carbonation, medium body. A good pilsener.

Poured from can. Great aroma, Nice color, Full flavor, normal bitter aftertaste (maybe a bit too much for my liking).

Bottle from the stonking phil_L beermerchants.com lottery. Good skills boys. Nice pils really. Typical appearance, fairly typical flavour but certainly better than the pils I’ve had recently. Proper bitter pils finish. Nice.

A nice smooth easy drinking beer with a light caramel color and scent. The beer has a nutty aftertaste. This is one of those beers you can drink all night long!

I really think that I just had a bad batch. The smell was horrible! It was skunked big time. However, the flavor wasn’t bad, but it was just so hard to get that past that smell. I’ll try it again soon and do a re-rate.
Here’s my re-rate: Poured perfectly clear with a nice white head that diminished rather quickly. The aroma was rich with hops, floral, and a touch of fruit. The flavor was crisp and bubbly on the tongue. Initially, it was sweet followed by some nice cereal grains. Then in the finish, the hops came out and it became nicely bitter. This one is much better than the first!
