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.

12 oz. bottle from Timer’s Liquor in the lovely city of Racine, WI. Difficult to add to accolades this offering has not already earned. Suffice to say it is one of the world’s best beers and you can use it as a guage to judge others if you want to. I just drink it and love it. Slightly hopped aroma upon opening the bottle, pours bronze, tastes bitter and sweet at same time. Slight heaviness with mild hop tone upon finishing. When on special, I buy. Recently offered with nice pilsner glasses made in Germany, two glasses per 12 pack! Geezus I wish they would’nt do that. I had glasses and twelve packs all over the place. I really do love this beer and consider it a classic! Prosit

edpeg (254) - Berlin, GERMANY - JAN 20, 2012
UPDATED: JAN 23, 2012 Pale dark yellow with good foamy head. Aromas, skunk, malt, hops and herbs. Good carbonation with crispy mouth feel. Aftertaste mildly bitter hops with off tastes common to Urquell and medium shirt dry finish. Good, however lately the diacetyl is off putting.

Sevenlee (372) - Central Coast, NSW, AUSTRALIA - JAN 19, 2012
Pours a dark yellow with a short lived white head. Aroma is sweet malt and saaz hops. Taste is also lightly sweet with a nice bitey bitter finish. Mouthfeel is pleasantly soft. This is where it all started. It’s kind of hard to overstate how this beer gave birth to the most popular beer style in the world as well as Pale Lager and therefore embodies the image of beer itself. Yer the old Plzeňský Prazdroj is a lovely Pilsner and I guess it’s fair to say, THE pilsner.

jhamp9 (165) - Texas, USA - JAN 17, 2012
Pours golden with a thin white head that leaves decent lacing. Aroma was quite slinky to begin with but it faded to more maltiness. Taste was quite bitter with a hint of sweetness. Very dry finish.

Pours a small white head. Nice aroma, very crisp. It’s quite dry, with a fizzy mouthfeel. Decent beer!
