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.

RichardW (854) - Carlisle, Cumbria, ENGLAND - JAN 21, 2010
Bottle. Full of strong, hoppy bitterness, with the trademark Czech pils tang and dryness. This is balanced by some honeycomb sweetness and a hint of biscuit, but, overall, the lingering finish is one that still makes you slightly suck your cheeks in......

weitz15 (334) - West Lafayette, Indiana, USA - JAN 18, 2010
Yellow-transparent pour with a white head. The aroma is of pine and lemon. Flavor of citrus and urine. I’d take a light macrobrew over this one. Bitter and skunky... maybe I’m just not a pale lager type of guy.

rmasa (324) - Vantaa, FINLAND - JAN 17, 2010
Golden color, small white head; aroma of floral hops, some fruitness and maltiness; mouthfeel is quite soft and still crispy with just right amount of carbonation; flavor is slightly malty sweet at first while the hops are getting ready for the dry and bitter finish.

Croff (164) - Ostra Sonnarslov, SWEDEN - JAN 16, 2010
Pours a goldish yellow. Not much of a head, fades rapidly. Floral malt hop aroma. Medium hop taste with a hint of fruit. Nice light bitter finish. Perfect amount of carbonation that stays to the end. There are other Czech beers I like better, but this is a real nice Pils. You can’t go wrong with this one.

NeoHippie2 (244) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - JAN 12, 2010
Pours a golden hue into the glass with a white head. I get lots of malts with some floral hops on the nose. Lots of flavor too. Finishes with a nice aftertaste of the hops which makes you want to take another sip. Definitely a complex brew. I would drink this again for sure.

darrennelson12 (197) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 12, 2010
in bottle; good solid pilsner. It is a light wheaty and dry almost like champagne. I would say it is much better on tap than in bottle

davidm (1246) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JAN 11, 2010
Bottle 330ml. Not bad, not great. Aroma has straw, flowers, and malt. Flavour is sweet, with light bitterness; nice, but with short duration. Oily in the palate, but thin body. Dark yellow, with a white head that disappears.

JanEric (661) - Meppel, NETHERLANDS - JAN 10, 2010
UPDATED: APR 6, 2010 Bottle, 330 ml. Soft, smooth. Not much carbonation. Unfortanetely I drunk it too hot, because on holiday. Slightly bitter, nice pilsner. 3 april 2010: On tap in Prague, several places. Same impression, soft and smooth. Thick head, creamy, good lacing. Very nice pilsner.
