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.

golden clear appearance with solid head. flavor varies amongst some bottles and pints i have had, but at best has a nice munich pilsner malt flavor with a crisp hop finish. it can be one of the best pilseners around when the flavor is on

First of all, I do not underrate pilseners as a style. I really like a well made pilsener, and this one is the standard. Deep orange gold color, with beautiful white head that lasts for some time. Malty aroma with noticeable hops. The taste begins sweet and then gets bitter with the aroma hops dominating the dry finish. A wonderful bier!

500mL can, courtesy of StFun. Thanks, Joshua! Pours a brilliant, bright, honey-orange color; significant white head with excellent retention and lacing; the head leaves small aggregrations of foam on the top of the beer; a beautiful pour. Pleasant aroma, showing toasted grains, sugar, and just a touch of mineral and citrus hops; nice dryness, if a little basic in the malt character (a touch of cardboard); excellent otherwise. Medium mouthfeel: crisp and dry on the tip of the tongue; some breadiness and dough, and even a touch of estery malts at the core; more developed than the aroma might suggest; nice jolt of citrus and mineral acidity surrounding things; an excellently done pils, and I’m very glad to have tried this out of a can (which I rarely see around here); perfect, crisp palate and intense drinkability. Great stuff. Medium finish, showing bread, toasty grains, sugar, and the slightest estery presence.

Typical Euro skunkiness. I once read where this beer was considered one of the world’s best. I think other beers have come a long way since that time.

Boa Pilsen. A lendária - talves tenha influenciado minhas avaliaçőes. Coloraçăo amarelo ouro, com espuma branca sempre presente. Aroma fraco de cereais maltados, com suave tom adocicado. Sabor complexo, com forte amarguęs - lúpulo sempre presente. Densa, com presença do malte, o que remete a paes e tons frutosos. Boa drincabilidade. Năo foi minha melhor pilsen.

very refreshing bitter, classy pilsner with lots of hops and well carbonated clear greenish yellow colour and white head (label effecting my image?)

Bottle: I have always really liked this beer, although I have not had one in a while. Aroma and flavor is a little skunky, but in a good way. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color, very small white head. Aroma is malt, maybe a touch of hops in there. Flavor is again malt and in the background some hops. A little bitter, but a decent beer overall.
