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 draugt. A clear golden colored beer, with a nice thick white head. The aroma is malty, a nice touch of hops, with some flowers. The taste is smooth bitter, hoppy and touches of fruits. It has a long soft bitter aftertaste.

Poured a light gold with a decently frothy head which was about 2 fingertips in width. A hoppy aroma with a very refreshing taste. Nicely balanced. Good beer.

Golden color with a tint of orange to it, white head. Weak aroma but picking up some malts. Subtle malt flavor with spices. Bit of a bitter aftertaste with a peppery twist to it. Not bad as it warms up either.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with bid 4 finger snow white head that receded fairly quickly and resulted in very spotty lacing. Nose is malt, sweet corn and grassy hops. Taste is sweet malt, honey and grain with a decent pils bitter finish. Medium, creamy mouth feel. I’ve had this on tap before and it’s much better. Still decent in bottles.

Pale yellow lager with frothy head and predominantly hoppy aroma. Hoppy and grainy with crisp citric notes and bitter finish. Very good European lager.

bottled, dark golden pour with nice white head and plenty of carbonation, smell is ...odd...hoppy?...i dunno..reminds me of the "Beer" that my grandparents used to drink...yes I’m talking about that white can/bottle that used to just say "Beer"...crisp and sharp metalic taste with lingering hops on the palate, if this is the Pilsner that all others shall be judged...I’m obviously not a pilsner guy.
