Pilsner Urquell

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

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.

On tap @ The Perfect Pint, NYC. Pours a pale golden yellow. Dry mildly bitter grassy aroma.Taste is dry, sharp, mild bitterness & crisp. Easy drinking

On tap: pilsner-esque aroma. Taste is similar with heavy carbonation and a slight bitterness. Nice beer.

Bottle. Golden with moderate head. Has some hoppy bite, and overall flavor well balanced, with pronounced pilsner bitterness. Very solid choice.
