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.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with fast-fasing head and a lot of bubbles. Flavor is straw/hay, some earthiness, slight hops. Very smooth, easy to drink.

CAn 500ml. Pours clear golden with frothy off-white head. Aroma is mild citrus, bit of hay. Taste is medium going into light bitter and a tiny bit salty. Medium bodied, lightly oily with average carbonation and bitter finish.

ronaldtheriot (362) - Laplace, Louisiana, USA - JAN 2, 2011
Pilsner Urquell has a medium, white head and a clear, golden appearance, with fine suspended white particles throughout. Carbonation is moderate, and the aroma is of bread (not skunked, either- green bottle). The taste is delicious, with bread and barley malt the key features, and a nice hop background. Mouth-feel is light and watery, and Pilsner Urquell finishes refreshing and not as dry as American-style lagers. Overall, I really enjoyed this sample and highly recommend giving this beer a try.

Holy (650) - GERMANY - DEC 29, 2010
Bottle courtesy and shared with the in-law. Nice sweet malt in the nose, continues in the sip with mild bitter overtones. Not my favorite style, but a very nice beer!

brinehart (85) - Colorado, USA - DEC 28, 2010
12 oz bottle into pilsner glass. Crystal clear straw color with bright white head and lively carbonation. Minimal lacing. Very gentle aroma of doughy malt. Very little hops in the nose. Taste is initially all about malt, with lightly sweet grain dominating most of the drink. The finish is dominated by a good deal of bitterness, with the hop character being very refined...a little spicy, a little earthy. No citrus or pine in these noble Saaz hops. Good clean lager fermentation with no esters that I can detect, although I do get a bit diacetyl. A light and dry mouthfeel. The style is not my favorite, but I could drink a lot of this beer. It’s the beer that defines the Pilsener for a reason. No corn of rice in this one!

suurjuust (253) - Tartu, ESTONIA - DEC 25, 2010
Clear yellow, medium head. Crisp hops and malts in the nose. Malty sweetness (with notes of caramel) transforms into a pleasantly strong hoppy finish. Very nice and refreshing.

Draught in a bar in Berlin - 17/12/10.Golden and nice looking lager. Pretty tasty with a hoppy taste and dry finish.
