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.

bottle - golden colour with a white head - mostly malt nose but some caramel and hops - medium sweet malty with notes of hops and light fruity, a dry finish

33cl bottle. Pours a clear betwin golden and amber. Medium white head. Nose : Light aromas of basement, cereal and a bit caramel notes. Small floral honey. From nose it seams it’s gonna be more malty then hoppy. Sip : Oily with a little carbonation which I find surprising. A bit smoky too, I could compare to English pale ales. Small citrus and long little bitter hoppy aftertaste. Overall : I must say that for a pils it’s a really nice one. Truly surprising body and more complex aromas then a regular pils.

500 ml bottle poured into a pint glass. The beer pours a clear light amber with a very thin white head. Aroma of a slight biscuity sweetness, dominated by a grassy aroma. Taste has an light underlying sweetness, but is once again dominated by a medium bitterness of the hops. Light and fairly lively in the mouth, it finishes with a long bitterness. This is something I would drink every so often.

Doesn’t do it for me - not as distinctive as peroni and doesn’t have the spice character that I like about other pilsners ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Very good pilsner. A little too sweet for my taste. Reminds me of Beck’s but much smoother. Highly recommended.

Honestly, I was expecting more from this beer. Being the "model of meter", this beer is on the low end of the scale. Skunky aroma, thin mouthfeel, watery taste. Now, don’t get me wrong, this isn’t terrible, but it ain’t world class either. This is an average beer, albeit over priced. That being said, I may buy this again if I find myself on a beach resort in 90 degree weather and I need a buzz to deal with my wife’s bitching. It is light and refreshing.

12 oz bottle west end taste is bubbly and effervescent not bad could be refreshing on a hot day
