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.

Grainy slightly skunky smell that alot of pilsners have. Clear golden colour. Foamy head doesn’t last long. Tart grassy, hoppy taste. Bitter finish. True to the pilsner style. Not bad.

Clear gold pour. Fizzy white head and rather thin in the lace department. Clean refreshing. Thin bodied notable hints of hops

Bottle. Pours a very clear golden yellow. Not much head. The aroma is not too distinct. Clean slightly hoppy taste. I am not a fan of pilsners in general. Not terrible. Went OK with some pizza.

Tap. White head, rapidly leaving, pale yellow color, pleasant nose with nice hops, flavor mild with nothiing much there, watery palate, which reminded me why beers were brewed in the middle ages (purify water), so I think this shows the evolution of beers over the last few decades.

Draught. Yellow straw pour with a fizzy white head. Aroma of pepper and malt. Great balanced body with a nice bitter peppery finish. Fantastic pils.

Bottle at Captain Anderson’s Restaurant P.C. Beach, Fl. Golden, straw colored with small white head. I think I know what "grassy" smells like now. Bitter with an aftertaste. Not impressed, but it was my first Pilsner.

Very drinkable. Light in flavour yet leaves a nice impression. Yeasty, slightly lemony, grassy and malty. The kind of beer you can drink at any time of day or night.
