Pilsner Urquell

330mL Bottle. FIrst time I had this it was my new favourite. The aroma was so fresh, and a strong bitterness to finish. Grabbed a dozen to rate the other day only to find the expiry was 2weeks out and slightly skunked, hence the lower ratings. Pale golden beer. Floral aroma, crisp beer with a clean malt taste follwed by the Czech hop bitterness its known for.

Draft at Capital Ale House Downtown. Pours a light golden yellow with brilliant clarity and small white head with good lacing. Aroma is very weak, a little cardboard and faint floral hops. Hop flavor has an earthiness to it and a little buttery, but not in a bad way. Soft mouthfeel and medium bodied, almost velvety. Easy drinking. Spot on for a pilsner.

Golden color, kind of a bananaish smell. Tastes a bit hoppy with more flabby fruit in there. Good if you cant get any other microbrews, but otherwise, why?

My favourite draught pilsener, a great pour. Good smell about it and a fabulous taste. Yum.

Not a fan of the style, but this is good for a mass produced beer. Very skunky. I’m looking forward to trying the real thing at the brewery in Plzen.

Pours deep amber into a footed pilsner. Fluffy white head leaves sheet lacing as it slowly recedes. Skunk aromas. Crisp and malty upfront with a lasting slightly skunked hop finish.

Bottle: pours a clear, golden amber with a thin white head, aroma of grains, taste is grainy and a little bitterness from the hops, probably the best choice when all you have to select from are mass produced beers.

The aroma isn’t very good for a beer that tastes so well. The aroma has a rotten smell to it that kinda bothers me. If it wasn’t for the so-so boring, light golden appearance of no head and the aroma, it would be a 4 something because the flavor is top notch.
