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.

Pipper (325) - Ohio, USA - MAY 24, 2010
Not one for pilsners but this is relatively inoffensive. Clear gold pour with slight carbonation. Sweet hay/grass dominates the aroma. Some sense of hops in the flavor but not a whole lot else.

Stuedmaster (57) - San Diego, California, USA - MAY 24, 2010
Aroma of hay, yeast, and grain. A darker shade of gold than most pilsners, with a short lasting white head. This beer is all about the yeast, as it adds a distinct earthiness and herbal quality to the flavor. It is highly hopped for a pilsner, which brings a pleasant bitterness and clean finish. Low carbonation, somewhat creamy mouthfeel, very refreshing.

haggis03a3 (163) - Piedmont, California, USA - MAY 23, 2010
Nice and balanced, drinkable. Cereal malt, grassy hops. Pretty good, but not as good as I was hoping.

Rockcrawler (192) - Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA - MAY 15, 2010
12 Oz . Pours clear pale gold with light head that subsides quickly. Aroma of light citrus hops and smooth hay-ish light malts. Taste is mildly bitter and light sweetness. Light body with very easing drinking smooth finish. Great for a warm day and its the original pilsner so definitely holds its value.
