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.

bottled. great aroma and excellent appearance, taste way too bitter for me but generally a very "noble" beer. epic in every sense of the word. and my great-grandfather was a minority shareholder of the pilsner brewery in 1930s :-))

Bottle pours gold with a white head. All I can say is this beer is all over the place as far as consistancy goes due the glass but when it’s fresh it’s not too shabby. Prime example of a czech lager.

The beer pours crystal clear, a perfect Pilsner in the glass, very light white head, fizzy bubbles coming up from the bottom, but WHAT IS THAT SMELL like dirty feet UGGGGhh! The flavour was clean and crisp, but the dirty feet smell really drops this one into the drain. Not sure how they have survived more than 100 years with this recipe.

Really good widely distributed beer, has even some uniqueness. Kind of a standard pilsener for me.

My first ratting! 0,5 l. can. For a cheap, widely distributed beer this one seems a bit more "edgy". Grassy flavour, maybe with a hit of citrous? Sympathetic low abv. Easy drinkable, but with some - delicate - bitterness in aftertaste. A favorite for consumpsion in larger quantities...

Palme (1200) - Bergen, NORWAY - NOV 24, 2010
0.5l box. Pours a nice clear golden body with a thin creamy head and loath of carbonation. Nose is fruity and you can really get a good sense of the saazy hops. Taste is mild, perfectly bitter with hints of vanilla and a almost butter-sweet malt taste on the tip of the tongue. All patriotism set aside, in my opinion this is the best lager you can get. Easy as that!

This pours a beautiful golden color with a thick, foamy head. It has a crisp, biscuit-y flavor with a dash of bitterness. Tasty - the quintessential pilsner.
