afireinside96 (807), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 7, 2008 bottle. pours a golden color with a large fluffy white head. smells of bready malts. Tastes of fresh dough and vanilla ice cream. nice fuzzy mouthfeel. the original holds up fairly well.

As I recall, nice Czech pilsner. Flavors are bitter and almost sour. Hoppy and smooth. gueuzeisgod (109), Graham, North Carolina, USA Apr 6, 2008
12 oz bottle, pours golden with a quickly waning head, not much lacing- just a few spotty patches on the glass. Smell is sweet and bready, some saaz aroma is detectable but slight. Taste is mildly bitter, some supportive malt sweetness and medium body. Finish is abrupt. It is obvious that this is a mass produced product but it is head and shoulders above the domestic counterparts like Budweiser (who legally stole the name of another czech pils-) and Miller(whose conglomerate Urquell is owned by). It has declined a bit even in just the last 5 years, but I still consider this to be the threshold for drinkability in an affordable everyday beer. guzzler67 (1272), Hanover, Maryland, USA Apr 5, 2008 Large, white, fast fading head atop a pale gold body; no lacing. Grassy aroma. Sweet, honeyish flavor. Light-to-medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel. Clean, dry, mildly bitter, short lived finish. ironchefscott (341), portland, Oregon, USA Apr 4, 2008 on tap a the auld dubliner
smelled corny and mildy noble hoppy
flavor was washed out and kinda gross and stale and corny....
sucks to be them....why can’t it be good I love great pilsners and this is no longer one of them! patricks110 (276), Alberta, Canada Apr 2, 2008 Pours a blonde orangey colour with a bit of head. The aroma is sweet and earthy. Slight aftertaste. Tastes like corn. FleeVT (40), Boca Raton, Florida, USA Apr 2, 2008 Tall slender 12oz. green bottle poured into a pilsner.
Pours a clear sun kissed yellow with moderate to heavy carbonation action and a thin white head that layers the beer. On the nose, grains, malts, and a slight citrus hop. Carbonation and a brief hop spice up front that is quickly overwhelmed by the malts in the back of the mouth. An extremely crisp beer that leaves a little hop bitterness behind in the aftertaste. Refreshingly crisp beer that hits the spot. I can see why this is the Pilsner standard. HoptimusPrime (17), Ascension Island Apr 2, 2008 I like to drink this one when I am working on my car. It tastes better in a can for some reason. I always thought cans make beer taste like metal, but this one has a weird skunky taste out of a bottle that is not present out of the can. Good as a beer you can knock back a few of.
