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. Pours a golden honeyish yellow color, with some orange notes, and a frothy bright white head. Aroma is fairly grainy with a slight amount of hops and malts. Flavor is of grains a nice grassy and citric hoppy flavor, along with some malts. The body is crisp with a very carbonated mouthfeel. Overall a pretty good and refreshing Pilsener, one of my favorites of the style.

Bottle- Beer pours with a nice golden color, with a decent head and good carbonation. The aroma not distinct as it had a grainy smell. The taste is crisp and refreshing with a medium body and dry finish. Beer is very drinkable and a good session beer. I understand there have been some changes to the brewing process. Too bad they messed with the original.

Don’t write this one off just because it’s widely available. If Michael Jackson says it’s his favorite interpretation of the style, then you better hop on it. Pours golden, small white head. Nose is crisp and clean, floral. Taste is wonderful; despite the green bottle, this is not at all skunky. Light and floral, with spare, but present hops. Would make this my anytime beer if it weren’t so pricey down here.

If you claim to like pilsner beer and haven’t tried this one... shame on you! Pours a beautiful, deep, golden color, with a nice head. Hops dominate the nose, but with a caramel-malt background there as well. Citrus like flavor (from the Saaz hops) up front, with a nice, smooth, caramel malt flavor coming right behind. It then disappears, leaving that initial hop flavor to linger on. A splendid beer. In my book, one of the best in the world!

On tap at the Princess of Wales, Blackheath. Golden pour with a white head. Citrus aromas with a splash of warm bread and barley. Flavours of orange peel and grapefruit. Crisp, bitter finish.
