Pilsner Urquell

Brewed by Plzensky Prazdroj (SABMiller)
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Plzen, Czech Republic

Aroma of rotting ingredients. Appearance of cat urine. Flavor of bitter nastiness probably due to the green bottles they’re shipped in. This beer might actually be enjoyable over in the Czech Republic, but by the time it gets to the states, I think that light has destroyed it. Overall this isn’t very good, and I won’t be drinking it again unless I’m in Prague someday.

The first time I tried it I thought it was somewhat sour but this time around I got a better appreciation for it. I had a great smooth taste. Not too hoppy and not a hint of anything sour or tangy.

A bit different from other Czech-Slovak lagers. Rich bitter taste. Also quite strong. Very good after a game of football.

Bottle. Aroma of malt, hops, grass, straw, bread, and skunk. Flavor follows suit, with some mild bitterness. Light body, active carbonation, for a crisp palate. Just a little bit better than those completely typical Euro macros; this one is so-so but totally overrated on here.

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.
