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.

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.

Bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville. Orange pour with a quickly disappearing head. Grassy, malty aroma with a lot of skunk. Taste is grassy, bready with a nice hop bite.

(Can). Pours a deep golden with a small white head. A lot of malt in the aroma, some grain and bread notes, caramel, and flowery too. Flavor is bitter with some little sweet notes and very malty. Despite the low alc.%, it has a medium body, it’s not soft nor watery, and it’s pretty well balanced. Clean and bitter finish, and sooo refreshing.

i wanted to like it more, but i blame it on the green bottle. smells skunky, but not horrible. i like the clean hops and malt in this one, very crisp and refreshing. bready, sort of cereal malts. moderately bitter. goes really well with food. i wish they’d use brown bottles instead. great warm weather beer though, and i hear it’s going to be 110 tomorrow.
