Pilsner Urquell

[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.

Poured a golden color with a quickly dissapting head. Spicy and malty taste which quickly turns into bitter hops. Lots of carbonation in this crisp and refreshing beer.

Can: Cloudy gold pour with a frothy white head. The nose is full of Noble hops - spicy with wet grass undertones. The body is very caramelly, with a nice balance of hops. For a lower ABV lager, this was very tasty.

12oz bottle. Pilsner lovers, this is it. Pours a bright, deep gold with a nice white head. Head doesn’t last as long as I expected, but leaves a nice white lace on the glass. Malt & hops in the nose in perfect balance. Crisp, clean taste, with a near-perfect balance of sweet malt and those wonderful Saaz hops. OK, I’m biased, and was even before I did this rating, as it isn’t the first time I’ve enjoyed "the orignial". I’d love to try this one on tap. Pilsner, or pilsener, is my favorite style, and this is the one all of the rest are measured by.

A light and spicy malt flavoring makes this an easy drinking beer. A somewhat tart flavoring.

Bottle given to me by my work colleagues. Golden with a, quickly dispersing, frothy white head. Malty toffee, barley and hops in the nose, no aforementioned skunkyness though. Taste is much the same, not crisp and hoppy as I expected, more malt and toffee than anything with some late bitter hops in the finish. Hopefully will get to try this fresh from the source at some point, I’m quite interested in the contrast.

This beer is pretty good. I love the hoppage. It tastes fresh and kind of earthy. Has a bit of a strong taste on the finish. A beer worth trying!

Can. Light golden colour with a white head. Some malts and hops on the nose. The flavour is malty (toasted white bread) with a distinctive bitterness. The finish is bitter.
