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 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.

Bottle. Pours a really nice golden color with a decent pillowy white head that fades slightly, but lasts for a good while. Has a very nice malt/hop balance and taste. Kind of sweet and is fairly bitter. The aroma matches the taste. Overall, this is a fairly refreshing and fulfilling beer, that is well worth the price and I would not mind buying this again.

On draft in Prague. Medium white head and clear darkish yellow color. Nose is a bit hoppier than usual, as well as flowery. Clean crisp sweet malt at first and also a nice mild bitter finish. Certainly one (if not the best) of the best pilsners i had in Czech.

Bottle from Tank’s Bar & Grill in Dayton. Has a typical pilsener, lager aroma. Clear bright golden in color with a white head. Has a decent bitter sweet taste. It’s pretty much what I expected from a quality pilsener, nothing too surprising. Definitely a clean, crisp finish though.

nice pilsener aroma, quite strong aroma for a macro. white head, relatively large, darkish clear yellow. Looks great. bitter taste (like pilsene) but a little more sweetness and bitterness than the average pilsener. aftertaste is sweet combined with pilsener. aftertaste lasts for a while. Great taste for a "low" alc.% beer.

Considering this is a mass produced beer it doesn’t seem to suffer the problems of other such beers in that you pretty much know what you are going to get all the time.
