Pilsner Urquell

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

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.

foamy white big head with an orange-amber body, smell is mineraly, woody. it tastes like a light biscuity malt, with salty dry taste. it is full tasting and a little pleasant biteyness. the 4.4 makes me sad but its a good beer

500 ml can from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass.

App.: Fairly deep golden, clear with a night white froth. Aroma: Typical Pilsener – nice grassy, wet hay, light biscuit malts, very lightly fruity. Palate: Medium body, fairly full carbonation, somewhat smooth, slightly astringent. Flav.: Grassy peppery Saaz hops supported by lightly fruity, toasty malts; dry with decent bitterness and a light greenish malt finish.

Nice for style...go figure.

. Good beer deserving of its reputation and popularity, if not a great beer. Flavor dominated by hops and malt with some citrus as well. Great thirst quencher.

This chap came out of the bottle with a very nice amber colour along with the standard foamy white head, leaving a small amount of lacing. Aroma was hoppily bitter, and enjoyable to inhale. Taste was right there, and the mouthfeel was almost ’snappy’. Aftertaste also a good ’un.
