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.

Pilsner Urquell should be drunk from a keg. One of the best experiences was tasting it over a long period. The beer changed as the keg went down. This is an incredible beer on tap, I think it sucks in the bottle, heat treated and God knows what chemicals. Drink it on tap and then rate it. I love this beer.

I see that there are alot of people out there that like this beer. I think I am going to have to agree with some of the people here and say this wasn’t what I was expecting. I didn’t care for this at all. But I didn’t want to bring it’s overall rating down just on my thoughts of it. I would have rated it 1’s and 2’s across the board. The only thing I liked about this beer was it’s nice golden color. I don’t think I could bring myself to try this one again. Update: A friend bought some so I tried it again. I think when I bought it origionally, I got an old lot. So I am bumping up my rating a bit.

This one is what all other Pilsner beers want to be. A truly perfect Pils. I have had a lot when I was in Prague a couple of years ago and not once had a hangover. I would love to try this one from the barrel as I only had the tall bottles.

Nice classic pils I love it. Best from the barrel.

Great beer, a sharp, slightly hoppy pilsner that I enjoy, even though half the bottles I get are skunked. Why green bottles? Grr...

adamlau (76) - California, USA - DEC 12, 2001
Salty nose. Tasted like a mild ham and egg sandwich for some reason. Second and third tastes proved the same. Impressed with this beer that tastes like food. Medium carbonation with a short head. Copper-gold color. Sweet ’apple juice-like’ finish.

Too long ago to remember much about this beer. I do remember that it is good.

When it’s fresh, it’s clean, nicely hopped with a pleasing bitterness.

I don’t care for whatever standing it has among ’beer critics,’ this was bad. Perhaps the batch I had was skunky. But I’m not willing to give it a second shot. There are too many beers in the world to pass up, instead.

The best pilsner I’ve had when not skunky. I bought it in an enclosed 12-pack, maybe that helped. That’s the only way I’ll buy it.
