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.

Pours a decent head but doesn’t retain it at all. Horse blanket aroma with notes of corn and pale malt. Bitter and slightly metallic finish. Perhaps mine wasn’t the freshest. I’d like to try it on tap.

Bottle pours a crystal gold color with a short lived head, no lace. The aroma is saaz and some barley. The flavor is malt and hops playing together in the glass. The palate is brothy and lively. It is what it is - a good Pilsener. Not much else.

Bottle, pours a lovely golden color with minimal lacing. Honestly doesn’t smell very good, notes of grains, hops and corn. There is an initial almost sweet, creamy malt and hop flavor, a definite grain presence, and perhaps some corn. However the beer finishes with an astringent bitter, metallic-hop flavor which I am not too fond of. One of the better pilsners out there, but the horrid aftertaste kills it for me. I’d rather have an ale.

Deep golden in color with a nice bubbly white froth. Smells is of bitter euro hop and some sweet malt. Flavor is a delicate balance of sweet and bitter, with a slightly salty finish. Really tasty stuff that’s both extremely satisfying and thoroughly well crafted. Hard to top in terms of pils.

Grainy malts and grassy hops in aroma. Flavor is mostly the same. Average bitterness.

Bottle: Strong skunk smell. Light easy to drink pilsner. Has a skunky aftertaste. Wasn’t impressed overall.
