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.

Pours rich golden color with a thin yet lingering white head. Aroma is that perfect round and full maltiness with a hint of caramelsweetness. Nice and smooth flavor, pleasing pilsner malt from the Bohemian and Moravian barley with a well balanced gentle Saaz hoppyness. The glass finishes quickly. This is the classic original that started it all for me. Czech it out.

Linnet (418) - Umeĺ, SWEDEN - NOV 20, 2009
Golden colour, white creamy head. Aroma is grassy lots of malts and also some hops. Flavour is a lot more hoppy than the aroma lets on and it’s very nice. It rests on a soft malt background. Mouthfeel is crisp and clean. This is a very good pilz a very unpretentious style ans sometimes not the most exciting, but sometimes it’s just the perfect style for the job

What can you say, there is a reason this is a classic beer. It has spicy, herbal hop aroma which is subtle with some malt character also detectable. Very refreshing with a lovely malt palate that is clean and very drnkable.

gkost (1306) - Tampa, Florida, USA - NOV 15, 2009
Pours crystal clear yellow with a thin active white head. Nose is grainy, skunk, bready with hints of noble floral hops. Flavor is hay, bread, yeast, mild sweet malts and bitter hops. Slight skunk flavor. Czech Pilseners are a favorite of mine. Good grocery store beer.

Pours beautiful, rich golden color with nice white head & lacing. Excellent carbonation. Aroma is yeast and hops with a slight metallic tinge. Crisp flavor that finishes clean. Was expecting something similar to Stella, but I believe this is better.

rakkasan (142) - Bresso, ITALY - NOV 7, 2009
on tap Prague, lovely gold color very malty and creamy, aroma of sweet spice and hops. This carries over to the taste with a hoppy finish that is just biiter enough to balance it all out. The only pilsner I really like.

joeneugs (1423) - Livermore, California, USA - OCT 30, 2009
A very satisfying pilsner. Pours gold with a white head. Very skunky, grainy aroma, but the flavor pops with a nice balance of grainy malts and clean hops. A touch of sweetness adds a lot as well, but it finishes dry, as it should. Not the best pilsner, but a good, attainable, middle of the road example to which compare all others to.

From bottle and draft. Classcal pilsner. Golen color, grassy aroma. Good taste of hops. Classic.
