Pilsner Urquell

Can. Pours clear golden. Somewhat hoppy nose with some fruit. Bitter taste with notes of grass and malt. Good pilsener.

Pours clear golden blond. A sweet fruity nose, mainly apples, with a small hint of bitterness. A light grassy bitter flavor with a mild undiscernable sweetness. A very watery mouthfeel. Not bad, but just not really my style.

Light Saaz aroma, some almost-DMS-y pilsner malt aroma. Clean, well balanced bitterness, some toasty decoction flavour. Saaz. Nice balanced beer. Only slightly stale this time.

Not really Pilsener fans, so that obviously biases the rating. Poured from the bottle a clear golden-yellow with an adequate, though short-lived, head. Hops and bitterness dominate both the aroma and taste. Good carbonation and strong finish. This beer seems much better when it’s served with food than it does simply by itself. We were pretty disappointed: We hoped that this would be the Pilsener that we’d actually like. Didn’t quite do it.

massively overrated. not bad, but would struggle to get above ’average’. there simply aren’t enough hops to stop it being overly sweet, and this pasteurised version is just too flat and cardboard in flavour

One of my all time favorites, a welcome and well deserved classic reputation. An almost narcotic nose, pungent, full and rising with the noble Saaz hops dominating. Crisp, golden color, clean and balanced carbonation with a rather nice but rapidly diminishing head. Some Bavarian lace on the sides of a tall pilsner glass, but again a bit sparse. Flavor is refreshing, clean and pleasantly bitter, filling the mouth and sides of the tongue with a rich, malty sweetness. Palate is smooth, richly bitter and lingering. A very pleasant aftertaste that begs for another deep draw, a call better served by waiting until the full flavor develops. Take your time and be rewarded.

This is one of my favourite beers!!! Even though it is only 4.4%abv, it still has a very full flavour to it. Delicious!!!

[WBA styles tasting] Clear amber color, with a very foamy white head. Hoppy, malt and cereal grain aroma- almost like sweet wort. Flavors are crisp, dry, with a strong bitterness. Slight diacetyl, but it seems to balance the hops well. Dry finish. Hoppy.
