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.

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.

Bottle. Clear pale amber with no head. Pleasant hoppy aroma. Light body, well carbonated. Lovely flavour starting with sweet malt shifting rapidly to a long pleasantaly hoppy bitter finish. An excellent pilsner.

Pours clear golden with a white head. Woody and earthy hop aroma. Flavor is more of the same. Not too complex, but smooth and clean. Decent.

Nice golden color that produces a foamish white head. Good consistent carbonation.This is not a complex beer but does have some stronger aromas from the European hops. This beer has an overtone of hops and finishes very clean. This is a beer best enjoyed when cold and while a mass produced beer it does have a bit of traditional Pilsener lines behind the recipe. It is a fun beer to enjoy when the pickings are slim a the grocery store.

12 oz. bottle into pint glass and on tap at a restaurant the same night. Not too light golden or overly carbonated like American macro pilsners; has a descent lasting white head. Refreshing with a nice hop character. Refreshing, and one of the better pilsners out there.

Very nice. Aroma is full of well balanced hops. It’s body is a golden color, with a huge head. It’s flavor is a well-balanced bitterness - minor malt body. It’s palate is easy, finishes with a nice tartness.
