Pilsner Urquell

(bottle): Pours a golden honey color, big frothy snow white head. Grainy smell, malts. Malty, slightly toasted taste, grains, maybe hay. Somewhat fizzy. Eh, not my style.

12oz that I nicked from our departmental picnic - thanks, John! Even though I must have had several thousand of these, I’ve got to say that it still manages to be fairly refreshing. Extremely crisp, pleasingly dry pils with some spicy hops and enough body to give it character. Euro macro for the win.

Pretty pour, thick mouthfeel for a pils, bold and malty, sweetish flowery hops, better than average.

One of my Favorite Lagers. Nice head, Soft but not too much. You can taste and smell the malt, and there is a great balance between bitterness and floral hops with a tiny sweet touch. Definetly a beer for a hot day, but one that you can really enjoy.

(bottle) clear golden colour, stable white head. simple, but inviting aroma of fresh malts and grassy, floral hops. flavour is sweet, honey-tinged pale malts, spicy floral hops, light notes of peaches, banana and a hint of butter, very harmonious. medium carbonation, light to medium body, light bitter finish. the best macro out there.

On tap Germany. Not a pils fan but this is great stuff. Of course, this beer defines pilsner. Simply incredible beer. The bubbles seem to dance to the top of the glass. The hop/malt balance comes out on the side of the hops, and it’s just perfect. Golden, clear, lively. A super beer!

Bottle... Poured golden with a thin white head that dissipated quickly. Aroma is yeasty with some malt grains. A little citrus with some floral hops and very subdued balancing, malt notes. Ok of beer. I don’t see all the hype, not that worthy for a $9 six pack from Fred Meyer.

Pours a clear, pale gold with a very tall foamy white head. Stale aroma of pale malts and a little citrus. Taste is fairly clean, small sweet bump at first, then a somewhat bland grainy taste. Easy to drink, not much on the end except a little of that stale bread taste in the finish.
