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.

May be the best pilsener I have yet tasted. Nice yellow color with the right amount of corbonation. Great with spicy food.

The head was small sized, white and contained fine-small bubbles that quickly dissipated.The body was carbonated and clear.The hue was gold.The nose was skunky and there was no lacing with this beer.The flavor was bitter tasting and it left an aftertaste.The mouthfeel was thin and watery.

Bottle. Light amber with a small white head. Nose is hoppy and grassy with minimal skunky notes. Some light soughy malts as well. Taste is much the same. Light grassiness and hops with doughy malts and some faint citrus. Body is medium with a moderate carbonation feel. Finishes with grassy hops, hay, biscuits, and light buttery notes.

Slightly sour tasting beer with a thick texture and a large degree of bitterness. Different compared to a lot of other pilsners but a lot better.

Rerate Still a damn good pils, but notice a bit less sweetness this time and a little more saaz bitterness/skunkiness. Still very smooth and refereshing though. Original 3.9 At first blush one thinks it is a Becks/St Pauli/Heineken clone - but it is much more than that. Nice, even light malty aroma, tight, bubbly pour with a moderate lacing white head. Golden appearance that has "classic beer" written all over it. Not a pilsener lover but if I am going to have one - this is how I want it to taste. Nice sweet undertones accentuate the classic dry pilsener flavor. Stays strong throughout. Glad I finally found a place that sold a single of this!

Ubiquitous but delicious. Draught at the Carolina Ale House in Durham, NC. Clear dark golden color with two fingers of foamy, cascading, cloud-like white head. Pleasant malty and flowery hop aroma and flavor. The malt flavor is mostly caramel, and is balanced perfectly with the noble hop taste. The only detractor was paper-like note in the finish.
