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.

Jagooar (18) - British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 16, 2011
500 mL can. Poured at home. Pours beautiful honey colour with white one and half inch head. Head dissipated slowly, with good amount of lace. Really nice aroma, hints of citrus, perhaps pineapple?, and hoppy nose. Good full flavour for a pilsner, hoppy finish that lasts nicely. A great beer to have on a summer day if you are hanging out with other beer snobs. However, as a session beer I would hit a PBR or some other macro swill. At only 4.4%, it won’t do you too much good. A great beer though, no doubt.

RexTalionis (591) - FINLAND - JAN 14, 2011
Bottle 50 cl. Poured clear dark golden colour with white head. Aroma is hops, sweet malt and grass. Flavour is sweet butterscotch in the beginning with a slight bitter grassy hop ending.

Daytonbeer (192) - Ohio, USA - JAN 13, 2011
Pours a golden color with white head. Aroma is bready. Taste is malty on the front end and hoppy on the back. A bold taste for a pils. Enjoyable and refreshing.

Jessop (85) - AUSTRALIA - JAN 11, 2011
The original and the....well one of the best. Deep goldenrod in colour with a soft white and lovely textured pillow on top. Floral and lovely inviting citrus-herb bitterness, a moderate carbonation make for a great session beer for all occasions....finishes a touch bitter as expected...great beer.

JStax (692) - Devola, Ohio, USA - JAN 10, 2011
Poured from a bottle into an English pint glass. Appearance is a clear gold with an enormously white head. Aroma is skunky. Taste is a bit skunky and not much else. The beer is a pretty big disappointment but I’m glad I finally tried it.

UPDATED: MAR 18, 2011 Every time I try it I get a little skunk flavor and smell. Too bad, if it didn’t have the skunk aspect, it’d be almost perfect.

konstifik (573) - SWEDEN - JAN 8, 2011
Pours a clear straw with a big white head. The flavour is dominated by slightly sweet malts and bread and then there are som underlying Saaz hops that brings that slightly spicy and grassy aroma. Some bitterness in the end. Decent pilsner, and I can imagine it being better when very fresh. No way near the unfiltered version of PU though.

Possiamo solo toglierci il cappello davanti ad una capostipite delle pils, ma dobbiamo anche ammettere che pian piano che passano gli anni, il livello cala...
