Pilsner Urquell

500ml GREEN bottle. Pours bright amber. Immediate skunk aroma, maybe hoppy but I think the green bottle skunked it. Very carbonated with a slightly acidic aftertaste. I’m looking forward to getting this from a tap in Pilzen soon!

From the tap. Poured a golden yellow with a small bubbly head. Taste is dominated by crisp, grassy hops, yet nicely balanced. Tasty and well worth drinking more than one.

50cl can. Very nice hops aroma, dry flavour. Bitter finish. Excellent pilsner, as it should taste.

L’ho conosciuta a Praga, nella mia vacanza estiva.. Senza di questa birra quella vacanza forse avrebbe fatto un tantino più schifo. Una birra leggera, amabile, al naso piuttosto dolce, in bocca invece un po’ più amara. Schiuma abbondante, colore giallo paglierino. Per come l’ho vissuta a Praga, ha rappresentato proprio lo stereotipo di birra, non troppo alcolica, economica, da bere in quantità industriali. La definirei una birra gioiosa. L’effetto che mi ha fatto invece consumarla in Italia nella bottiglia importata aveva purtroppo perso tutta la sua magia.. (e anche qualcosa nel sapore).

Drank it for the first time on keg in the Czech Rep. The aroma consits out of nice Saaz hops. The taste is mainly about the hop and bitterness. As is wanted in a pilsner.

Pours a golden yellow. Aroma of corn throughout. A bit skunky with a dry and hoppy bitterness in taste. Nothing special just a normal Czech pilsner.

12oz bottle(poured into a 4 oz glass, not my fav style) picked this out for my first Czech beer. Pours pale no head just a white ring. high carbonation. Nose was as most pilsner’s are, all hops and very clean. Mine was a bit skunked as well(damn green bottles) Flavor was skunked. Very hoppy and bitter. still very iron and water. I’m sure this beer is much better on tap. I’ll drink again if i can get an un-skunked bottle. but still not my style.

Aroma is a bit skunky. Taste is a clean, crisp with a bitter aftertaste. It’s hard to argue with the original.
