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.

Aroma is skunky straw. OK appearance, pours golden with decent head. Pretty smooth with some sweetness. Taste is not great.

An excellent choice for a BBQ night. My favourite Pilsener yet and, fortunately, pretty easy to find at any local liquor store. A pretty safe choice for me

On tap from La Maripepa in Madrid. Persistent bubbly head with a bright golden pour. Soft, creamy vanilla with hops and fresh bread. Extremely refreshing. Enjoyed this more than my last green import bottle. A classic.

Pours a clear golden yellow, with moderately energetic bubbly head. Caramel malts, but mostly it’s about the grassy hops that are there from start to finish. Crisp and clean, easily drinkable. Very light.

UPDATED: APR 3, 2011 A fantastic Pilsner,just as strong as I like it, and with a refreshing taste-the best pilsner i’ve ever tasted, with an amazing palate, quite bitter-acidy taste and a perfect head.Great beer...

kragelund (70) - , DENMARK - JUN 12, 2010
(Can 50 cl.) Pours golden with a nice white head. Good body for a 4,4% beer. Nice soft lingering sazz hop bitterness. My favourite pilsener, but better from a bottle and much better from tap in Praque ;-)

Non male come Pilsen, somiglia moltissimo alla Budvar, non male per essere una semplice bionda
