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.

It truly is the greatest pilsner. If I were only a fan this would be bliss. No one can argue the purity and design of this ageless beer.

Bottle pour. Pours light yellow that sparkles with a large rocky head that fully diminishes. Light malt aroma mixed with moderate hops and citrus. Light malt sweetness up front with light-moderate bitterness out back. Light, dry body with lively carbonation. I was expecting more from the worlds leading pilsner, but at least I wasn’t disappointed.

This is a good beer if you’re in a place that does not generally serve micros or Belgians. It is one of the only solid Pilsners for the style. It pours a golden color and is even in the flavor with a nice hop bit at the end.

On tap at Yeoman’s Road Pub (Tampa, FL) on 6/21/08. Pours a clear, golden color with thin, white head. Aroma: slight wheat, grape and fresh grass notes. Flavor: sweet honey, malt, hops. Light-bodied beer with a bitter finish.

what a beer...crisp and golden with a fluffy white head, it has a honey and citrus aroma and the taste is a buttery, pleasantly bitter mix of floral hops and light maltiness. originally had this in a beer cellar in Prague. 50 cent pints. It was magical...

Found this at a local grocery store in a pint can. Color is golden yellow with a little head when poured with medium carbonation. Aroma has a floral hoppiness to it along with a less distinctive sweet malt aroma. Flavor is very Saazy floral with sweet malt flavor and no aftertaste. I have had this from the bottle and tasted the skunkiness but from the can, this is completely absent and really allows you to taste what the beer should taste like.

33cl bottle at home: Bright med-dark gold with a very white frothy head. Sweet pale malt nose with honey. Noble hops supply some earthy spice. Very light toast. Flavor is a good blend of sweet malt and smooth hop. It definitely leans more to the sweet malt side than the hop side. Effervescent hop bite in middle but back to malt for the finish. Some toast pops up in the middle. Crisp with a bit of a minerally quality.
