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.

Can from StFun! Golden yellow color, small head. Taste is a smooth, clean, and fresh. Small amount of hops and malt. To be honest not much to write about, but still a good pilsner. Better than any macro. Thanks Josh!

Draught at Boulder Junction. Came way too cold in a pint glass. Golden yellow with minimal head. Mild hoppy aroma. Semi-bitter finish. Better as it warmed. I’ll make a note to try it again someday soon.

Pours a golden yellow color, slightly grassy aroma. Sligthly fizzy white head dissipates fairly quickly. Hoppy, and slightly grapefruity, with a good crisp taste for a Pilsner. Not a particularly complex or notable taste, but a standard Pilsner benchmark.

Tasted 11/02/2008. 330ml bottle from Regional Wines and Spirits. Pours a bright pale gold with a disappearing white head. Floral and spicy hops dominate the nose, with a gorgeously rich buttery biscuit aroma underneath. Rich, complex malt in the mouth - a hint crusty. Firm herbal hop character hints at lemon and pepper. Firm lingering bitterness, tending strong. Very very good - just lacking some zippy vitality. A benchmark beer that is head and shoulders above any other classic Pilsner I’ve tried, and would certainly be well above 4 if it were fresh.

Nice smooth beer. Clean but not watery. Leap years above Bud/Coors/Miller crap. Great on a hot day.

Poured golden yellow with a generous bright white head into a pilsner glass. Bubbles rising to the top like champagne. Clean hoppy aroma with some citrus - distinctively pilsner. Taste was less intense than the aroma, but included some biscuits and malts. Very soft mouthfeel, nice carbonation, and a very crisp finish.

A "macro" style beer for those who like craft beer. Pors and looks much like a Bud/Coors/Miller. Tastes *similar* to these, but with no water or corn flavors. The flavor is actually malty and smooth, slightly bitter on the back end. Pretty refreshing as well. Considering this is just slightly higher than Bud at my local store, this is a great party alternative.
