Pilsner Urquell

Brewed by Plzensky Prazdroj (SABMiller)
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Plzen, Czech Republic

(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.

If you don’t like this, you don’t like beer, period. Sure it’s not a Belgian abbey ale, but it isn’t meant to be. It’s the original, and still one of the best Pilsners. Intensely herby, slightly bitter grassy taste, moderate carbonation, clean mouthfeel, just excellence all over.

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.
