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.

Nice malty aroma, golden color. Great malty hop balance. Medium bodied, dry bitter aftertaste.

Malty aroma, not sweet, slightly astringent. Dark golden color. A little dry, slightly sweet malty taste. Finishes pleasantly bitter. No floral hop flavor, unfortunately.

Just a great brew. The original pilsner to be respected to this day. Crystal clear golden color some orange. Nose of a wonderful bouquet. Hops as well as a jumpy malt background. Nice light bitter palate with a great alc. background. The hops linger throughout the finish. I remember watching the episode of ’’’’The Beer Hunter where Michael went to the SABMiller brewery. They have a great respect for the traditional Pilsner recipe.

Tasted over in Prague on a visit. Nice headd and slightly hazy. Enjoyable for this style. Some sweetness in there and dry to finish.

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.
