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.

RSRIZZO (1634) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - OCT 24, 2009
From 12 oz bottle in a Footed Pilsner at 45°. Color is a deep gold with good carbonation and a nice white head. Aroma is like skunky creamed corn. Starting with a bolder light body it goes down smooth with a fizzy feel. Finish of grain with a little hop flavor showing and a bold bitterness. After taste is clean with a dry bitterness lingering on. Overall its just ok, bitterness stands out better then most Pilsners I’ve had.

Unpasteurised on tap at Soldaten Svejk in Stockholm. Clear golden with a large, fluffy white foam. Bread and floral aroma. Citrus, butter, malt and bread. Fresh and easy to drink. Not that carbonated. Great thirst quencher with no direct frills.

The best, the only pilsner in the world. Yall know how it pours. Yall know how it tastes. This beer is the perfect pilsner - and to me, beer. It’s an explosion of hops, of dreams, of intuitions. It’s love, liquid form.

wimpie133 (380) - Brugge, BELGIUM - OCT 18, 2009
Bottle, 33 cl. Beautiful golden coloured beer with e madium white head. The smell is hoppy, the taste is hoppy, the aftertaste is hoppy as well. Strong beer, without any watery notes, certainly. Powerfull pils also. But pityfull, I didn’t really like the beer that much, I expected some more of "the mother of all pilses", brewed where the origin of pils lies.

Frovigalning (1320) - Örebro, SWEDEN - OCT 18, 2009
It poured a clear golden liquid with a big white foam that left big chunks on the side of the glass. It had a very weak smell of sweet malt and some grass. It had a fresh and crisp taste of sweet malt and bread. Watery with a light body. Smooth and nice mouthfeel. It was fresh and had no bad tastes but I would have loved just a hint of hops, now I couldn’t feel any at all. All in all a slightly above average lager. It worked well with the food though.
