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.

This is an excellent pilsener. I had this one at Coast restaurant in Richmond. The draft beer has so much going for it. More hops than other pils provide for a balanced bitterness. This is the pilsener model for others to imitate. The medium body beer has a smooth finish. The color was deep gold with a modest head.

12 oz bottle- Pale clear color, flavor tastes richly European, though not my style. Very drinkable, I hear people say this is the greatest pilsner of all time, personally I think they say that because It was the first pilsner of all time.

One of the better pilsners. Rich gold color with lively carbonation; aromas of malt, acid, touch of bitter hops, and hay. Flavor is dry and a bit acidic; crisp and refreshing. A hint of wood aromas on the end. I’m not a fan of pilsners; this one is actually alright.

12 oz. Bottle. Pours a nice golden color. Small white head. Smells of malts and also a little bitter. Simliar tastes. A decent pilsner but not my favorite.

Bottle. Moderate notes of grain and herbs for the malt and hops, light dough for the yeast with pepper, root vegetable and faint cardboard in the background. Head is small, frothy/fizzy, white with some lacing and is almost fully diminishing. Color is sparkling clear amber/gold. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic, then finishes lightly sweet, acidic and bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery with a lively carbonation. The finish is light in all aspects, but it’s perfectly balanced. It’s well known Bohemian Pilsener for a reason, and it proves the value of brewing tradition.

A classic Pils, a "must have" under your belt to understand the style.

500ml can poured into a pint glass. Poured a clear deep golden color with a 1" head. As it was drank it produced some decent lacing. Aroma of bread, malts and some floral hops. Tastes sweet & bitter. Good balance or flavors. Good carbonation, crisp feel and a good hop bitter aftertaste. Very flavorful and easy to drink but best enjoyed slowly. Certainly one of my favorite Pilsners to drink.

Finally back on tap at Cardinal. Clear, sparkling yellow liquid with a creamy white head. Aroma of flowers and toffee. Starts sweetly in the mouth but quickly evolves into moderate bitterness and a touch of sourness that carries through to the end. Feels dry, with a lively carbonation. Light to medium bodied. Always good!
