Pilsner Urquell

Can. Yellow brown fine body. Meduim sized white head. Fresh hoppy aroma, hints of citrus. Pleasant flavour, fresh and hoppy, also with fruity hints. A tiny bitterness kicks in in the finish. Nice. (At home, 14.04.08)

Pours clear, pale golden colour with a small head. Light, refreshing mouthfeel, a bit dry. Aroma is malty with a hint of sweetness and bitterish hoppy. Nice and crisp balance between sweetness and bitterness. Some grassy and floral notes.

Quite possibly the best beer on the planet. I am certainly yet to drink better! Pale gold, moderate head, crisp, bitter taste. The original and best pilsener.

12oz bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a fluffy white head, no lace. Smells like corn and grains. Tastes of corn and grain as well. Thin body, coats the mouth a bit, cispish carbonation.

Beautiful, deep amber hued golden yellow, with a perfect sized white head, and a constant stream of bubbles flowing upwards. The aroma is more malty than hoppy. Interesting. There is also a hint of skunk in the aroma. The hops are very mild, the malt is bolder than expected. The carbonation is not too heavy. Best part of the flavor is the lack of the skunk from the aroma. This is a pretty solid beer.

500ml can. Pours a beautiful dark gold with tiny bubbles rising from the center. Smells of lagerish grain and noble hops. Taste is smooth and crisp, nice dry malt. The hops bitterness at the end was stronger than I expected and completely delicious. This beer is an excellent experience. Palate is medium to light. Can is definitely a good choice over a green bottle, not a bit of oxidation in this beer.

I’ve had this beer a bunch of times from the bottle and now a few times on draft and it always seems quite a bit better on draft. I’ve had some bottles that were a little skunky so those have been hit or miss. I’m rating this based on my draft the other day (4/9/08). Golden colored with just a relatively thin head. Bready malty flavor with a touch of sweet fruits, a richer mouthfeel than expected and crisp, clean and refreshing. A sour note surfaces as the beer warms a touch. I’ll certainly get it again but maybe not often via the bottle as I fear Mr. Skunk. Solid brew.

Pours a clear golden color with a medium fizzy white head. Sweet malty bread aroma. Nice balance of mild hops and malt on the tongue. Very crisp and refreshing. A great pilsner.
