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.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 25, 2002
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. For a pilsener this is one of the very best.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAY 18, 2005
(Bottle 50 cl) Nicely golden with a decent head. Fantastic malty AND flowery nose. Very soft mouthfeel in spite of the very pronounced hoppiness - although it apperently has diminished in recent years. A very classic nice pilsener. THE pilsener...

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - FEB 19, 2002
Golden coloured. Fresh from tap the aromatic, oily saaz aroma is very evident. It is rather dry, medium bodied and has a great deal of bitterness. One of the best megabrewed beers around.

Tapped. Golden coloutm nediumsized white foamy head. Bready aroma with hints of fresh fruit and hops. Very smooth and soft palate. Flavour is mainly fruitish with hints of bread and a hoppy finish. The aftertaste is weak, but longlasting and mainly bittry. Very refreshing.
