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.

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.

Pours a crystal clear golden color with a nice thick white head. Very appealing for a pale beer. Nose is crisp grassy hops. Flavor is very crisp, and has a very bitter finish. It’s a little sweet at the start and has just the slightest hint of spicyness. It’s a little bit dry somewhere in the middle but not too bad. Carbonation is pretty high, but in a nice way, and it’s not real thick, but again, it probably shouldn’t be.

Can’t believe I’ve never entered a rating for this beer. Aroma is bready, with some cereal grains, and clean profile, with a bit of European hop aroma. pours golden with white head, and is really striking in some ways. flavor is clean, with a nice balance of cereal malts, and herbal and grassy hops and a touch of DMS. medium bodied. they’re are better things around, but its still good.

Soft aroma. Golden colour with low or no-foam. Bitter flavor with bitter notes in palate too. Fresh beer to drink with any meal.

Bottle. A beer with a clear dark yellow color but ufortunatly almost no head. It has a slightly hoppy aroma - and the nice bitter flavor of hops.

Color is a typical clear pilsner amber, a little darker than most I have seen. Aroma is firm and malty, not strong but still inviting. Flavor is crisp, malty, typical of a pilsner but a little richer than the average brew of this type. Refreshing, enjoyable, good with lunch or dinner.

Brilliant crisp clear gold. Way more aromatic than I thought. Flavor was a spicier and had a bigger bite than expected. With such a low alc% I was not prepared for the amount of flavor and kick this beer had. Nice.
