Pilsner Urquell

Golden with a huge, rocky head. Light earth and some hops in the aroma. Flavor is earthy hop, light malts, and a semi-dry, bitter finish. What a difference from the bottled version. An outstanding pilsener that I’m looking forward to drinking again. Rating reflects draught version. (Draught at Pivo, Yokohama) (Green bottle shipped to Japan = Skunked every single time. Nice frothy head on this crystal clear, golden brew. Sadly, the aroma is overtaken by the skunk. Sweet malts, herbal and earth tones are detectable underneath. I’d love to get my hands on a fresh one of these. Crisp body. Flavor is a bit off, as well. Malty, some earth tones, and noticeable hops. Finish has some nice dry hops. A fresh one of these is probably very nice but this one is not up to par. Will re-rate if given the opportunity. Old rate - 3)

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a huge mostly lasting white head. Rich malty aroma and taste with a nice lasting bitterness. Good beer.

Very solid beer. Defintely purchase again. Have enjoyed this beer since I started drinking due to a detective in one of my favorite books who drank this beer. Lovely

Pours a medium to light golden with a small white head. Very citrusy hops but medium hop addition. very smooth and pretty delicious. would buy again. Great pilsner. Happy that I have finally tried it.

golden pour with no head just a tiny layer of froth. malts and some slight hops on the nose. not extremely thin but a very interesting taste.

Golden body, light head. Slightly hopped flavor gives it some character. All in all, a very versatile beer. I can see why it is the classic example of the style..

if you like the hoppy taste, you must bring this. Gold color, little head. Some malt and yeast, but the hop dominate the floral flavour. Little body, hop in the aftertaste too.

This is the mother of all Pilseners. Draught several notches above bottled. (Not for the impatient if properly tapped. Providing proper carbon dioxide pressure is an art. If you are offered a stein, you are in the wrong place.) They got world’s best hops and superior water right down the road, and unadulterated barley, too. True, they took some of the meatiness out over the years, like when white wines went the fashionable, lean route, but not as much as many others, so there is still a richness here that reminds you of how distinct a classic Pilsnener could and should taste.
