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.

Aug. 2006 - I can understand the reputation this beer has. Nice head, light color. Hoppy with a nice sweetness underneath. Pretty complex for a pils. Some grass and hay hops. Had a skunkyness to it, but not sure if it was the hops or the dastardly bottle. I bet this would be really good on tap.

Pours a bubbly golden with a big white head. Aroma is a slightly skunky pale malt and hops. Taste is light and malty with the hoppy crisp pilsner finish of most czech pils. I love this stuff but it has to be one of the most overpriced beers.

Light amber with a nice head and a nice hoppy aroma. The flavour is hoppy with a very nice bitterness. Pure hops - in the Czech way. (Early rating, too short)

Bottle. Pours a clear dark golden in color with a medium diminishing off white head. The aroma is floral hops and a touch of malt. lavor is dry bitter hops with the complimentary malts to help out. Definetly not my style, although one of the better pilsners (I guess).

Very good Pilsner, crisp and refreshing. Golden coloring with a nice white foamy head. I had this awhile back in a bar in Philly and just recently picked up a sixer and forgot how good this was.

Pilsner Urquell is a classic example of an European Pilsner. I found it a little dry

12 oz bottle pours a clear golden. Aroma is of floral hops and bready malt. Flavor is malty, hoppy and rather dry.

I haven’t had this in many years but still a good pils. yeasty aroma, true pils color and tight foamy head do a good job of expressing this version of the classic beer
