Pilsner Urquell

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

Sweet hoppy, dusty and clay aroma. Golden with a fast diminishing rocky head. Supter bitter taste also toasty. Long harsh bitter finish. To bitter for my taste but a good Pils

I’m not too big on Pilsners, but this is drinkable. The color’s nice, although perhaps a bit too much bitterness for such an otherwise light flavor.

Tap: Golden color with white head.Light herbal hop nose.Light malt flavor with notes of (apple?) and a dry finish

pretty good pilsner. i prefer Brooklyn, though. this is a bit light for me.

Bottle: Poured a golden beer with a standard head with more or less retention. Carbonation is quite standard. Aroma is a bit floral with some malt coming out also. Taste is also floral with some note of malt. This is a very light and refreshing beer. The beer might have been a bit skunked, which seems to be a recurrent problem with the Urquell; they don’t seem to stand the long trip from Europe to America very well. I find that the can version usually preserve itself better the the bottle version.

Poured a clear golden color with a nice initial head and plenty of carbonation that provided a steady stream of bubbles rising to the top. The aroma was typical for the style, grassy hops with a touch of green botte skunk upon opening (very light though). Flavor was surprisingly impressive (for the style), unless I just don’t like this style enough to fairly rate anything within it. In any event, the malt base was present and full with grassy hops to bitter things just right. No skunk at all in the flavor. Mouthfeel was fairly light and drinkable, although full for the style. Decent beer, maybe I got a lucky bottle.

This was a great Bohemian style pilsner. The Hops to Malt complexity was awesaome. Rich and spicy malt tone. With a great crisp and bitter flavor. A very good beer with a great flavor. Always drink fresh can sit too long at times coming over.

Clear Golden color with a medium head. Slightly sweet and malty aroma with a nice hoppy bitterness. SLightly sweet and slihglty bitter with a nice balance of malt and hops. Light bodied, crisp and smooth.
