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.

12 oz. bottle. A beautiful dark yellow/golden colour, with a white head that quickly disappeared. No lacing. Aroma was grass, yeast with a hint of pine. Taste was crisp and clean, slightly bitter with a hops finish. A great pilsener, especially compared to it’s watered down macro grandchildren.

Czech beer is the best in the world bar none, its so consistant. The beer is a true great pilsner . Hoppy aroma, good colour. Good balance of biterness and malt , its slightly skunky , but thats what sets euro lagers apart from generic beers. I agree with one of the guys tho there are better czech beers but my memory may fail me as to how they compare , I remember Zamek and staropramen being better.

A really good pilsner lager. light, but not "watered down" like most american macros. Slightly sweet, slightly malty, slightly hopped, slightly dry.... more hops than budvar and really smooth.

Bottle. Darker gold/yellow than most of the genre with a white head that vanishes almost immediately. Decent malty aroma with hoppy overtones. Initially slightly cloying sweetness resolves to an excellent dry bitterness. Full bodied on the palate. A good all-rounder but not the flawless gem it’s purported to be. There are much better Czech pilsners out there.
