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.

Skunky hoppy. Orange golden coloured. Taste is hoppy for this style and moderately bitter. Not a fan of pilsners overall.

Aroma was a little skunky and the taste was a bit skunky too. However, the beer looked great in the glass with a good head - too bad it didn’t taste as good as it looks. I wish I could rate this without it being skunky, must every time I can remember having this beer, including this one tonight, it’s always just not been very good to me.

bockimstein (159) - New Madrid, Missouri, USA - FEB 6, 2010
Not a favorite. Bottle to pilsner glass. Pours golden with a white head that lasts awhile. Floral malts give it a pleasant nose, but that is where the pleasant stops. Thin and light in the mouth. Taste is sharp and bitter, they over did it. It has a weird lingering astringent after taste that reminds me of alum. I will Czech it off my list.

bleeng (1085) - Huntsville nowhere near Beersel, Alabama, USA - FEB 6, 2010
Bottle. Clear, yellow and highly carbonated. Nose is very malty and astringent. Taste is supremely sharp with a nice malt and subdued hop taste. Drinkable but the tanginess doesn’t leave me asking for much more of this.

Maris (465) - Canberra, AUSTRALIA - FEB 1, 2010
From a 330ml bottle on 1/2/2010. The original pilsener is a lovely, refreshing, distinctive drop, which is perfect for a session. Has a sweet, malty aroma, which is reflected in the flavour, and a fabulous hoppy finish.

petexner (500) - CZECH REPUBLIC - JAN 31, 2010
The most famous czech beer but I personally I´m not a fan and never will be. I found nothing special in the taste or/and aroma. It´s overhyped beer.

Elwood (1834) - Between a rock and a hard place, Virginia, USA - JAN 29, 2010
Serving: 12 oz. bottle. I’ve been meaning to rate this one for ages, but for some reason never got around to it. On with it then. It pours a clear, pale gold color with a frothy white head. Decent head retention. The nose is crisp and bold with spicy and floral hops taking center stage. The flavor follows suit with the spicy side really coming through. Crisp and slightly dry, this is a very refreshing beer. A decent bitter finish ends things. This is one of those classics that you have to try and once you do, you will be asking why you didn’t do it sooner.
