Pilsner Urquell

50 cl can, Golden body with medium size white head. Flavour is malt with a bitter finish.

Dry bite bitterness resuliting in smooth caramel creaminess. Plenty of malty hoppiness. Comes from tap cold with heavy white foam head, yet low on carbonation. Unpasteurised in Bohemia counts as one to drink all evening- in any case it’s sage not to switch to other beers in the same evening- they’ll taste over syrupy / cidery on the palate. Refreshing, clean and almost no hangover, high purity / low chemicals. Highly enjoyable at source. From a bottle, chill well, and it’s pretty good too.

12 oz bottle. Pours a nice golden color with a large white head. It has a crisp but skunky aroma. Tastes of biscuit, honey, flowers and pine. This strikes me as an outstanding beer. I really enjoyed it.

Had this in a bottle (would like to try it on tap though). Nice pleasing smell. Nice golden colour but head was quite small. Flavor was not huge but I liked the gentle bitterness of it. Very refreshing and quite a light drink as well. This beer could have been a bit more flavorsome and alas as this beer is one of the most influential I can see where it influenced many of the tasteless beers around today. Still pretty good though.

This pours a deep golden yellow with high levels of effervescence and a medium sized white head. The head was actually larger than I was expecting, although it still wasn’t that big. It has a rich roasted flavour from the malt and a lot of bitter hops. The one thing I didn’t like a lot about this beer is that I felt the aroma was a bit weak.

bottle, 0.5 L. drank this from the bottle. very refreshing indeed. slightly bitter, not sweet, not old. very fresh.

( 12oz bottle) Pours a very pale yellow with nice oily head with large bubbles. Bubbles continue to stick around after head dissipates, lacing is nice too. Aroma of honey, light bitter/crisp hops, orange zest, and grass. Quite complex for a "staple" beer. Taste is different than the nose, but really enjoyable. Crisp low hop presence increases the drinkability here, creamy body and finish, no bitter aftertaste. This is one solid pilsner and is so drinkable. You can even smell the yeast profile in this one somewhat, and drinks with a mild spiciness to it. A long description for a worthy example of this style.

Pours a nice deep clear gold with medium white head, minimal lacing. Aroma of slight hops, decent bready malt, and grass. Flavor matches well and is top notch in the world of pilsners. Very refreshing and enjoyable.
