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.

Poured golden with a white head (which dissipated almost completely). Aroma is the epitome of beer. Smells of bread, hops, and malt. Flavor is malt well balanced with hops. Mouth feel is nice and full with a mostly dry finish. A great everyday session beer.

This famous Czech beer pours a beautiful golden color with lots of bubbly effervesance topped with a creamy white head that mostly dissapates. Its faint aroma was that of hops. Its taste is refreshing, crisp and clean to the palate, with a creamy texture. It finshes with a slightly hoppy and smooth aftertaste. A great companion to lunches, light suppers or snacks.

Had is right there in the Czech. It was pretty straightforward and light. Has that bavarian malt flavor to it that I’m not the biggest fan of. But it’s not bad nonetheless.

Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in a lager glass. This beer poured a crystal clear dark golden with a one-finger thick head of white foam that slowly faded away. Almost no lacing. The aroma of the beer was made up of biscuit, grass, and a refreshing citrus note. The flavor consisted of sweet malt, biscuit, and dry, mildly bitter hops. The mouthfeel was light-bodied and crisp with moderate carbonation. An enjoyable, highly drinkable beer.

Straw colored with thin quickly dissipating head. Aroma is light and is slightly sweet with some old grassy hops. Very carbonated. Not one of my favorite styles but would serve well in hot weather.

Pours gold with a decent head. Aroma of bread and green bottle. Flavor of green bottle, sweet malts, and grass. Finishes refreshing, decently carbonated. Good.
