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.

From the bottle: Aroma of grain, moderate hops, grass, light cheese, mustard and rollerskate. Sounds uninviting but it was a wonderfully refreshing character for me to experience. Clear pale yellow with an average one finger white frothy head that fully diminished, rather quickly too. Flavor and finish both a little acetic and somwhat sweet; the body oily but lively carbonated. Left chalk in the gutters. It may be that this one was skunked or it may be the character of the beer; either way I can’t knock it and I definitely haven’t had my last.

The original Pilsner, although not what it used to be from what I gather. This is a very solid beer, with the classic Saaz hops aroma and crisp, clean finish.

Pours a deep yellow, with a thick head. Floral hop aroma. Flavor is malts with hops balancing it out nicely. They only drawback was there was a bit too much grain in the aftertaste. I’m not usually one for pilsners, but I would buy this one again.

...one of the best pilsners out there, and the benchmark to compare others to. Great malt flavors, and a slight hop finish. Light in a way, but not lacking body. Pretty good, but I don’t drink it that often.

Color is straw yellow with a decent fizzy white head. Taste is of malts, grains, some hops. Smell is crisp, malty, and light. Overall pretty decent.

A classic. Sampled many times from bottle and draught. Nice to find it in the odd place here and there in Brussels, to get a break from the ales. Refreshing, zippy, bitter, especially when fresh on tap. Can be savored or quaffed. Great with a burger. Reliable.

Bottled. Nice Saaz aroma with malty undertones. Crisp and refreshing. Very carbonated. Pretty golden color.
