Pilsner Urquell

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

What can I say? Everyone’s had it and its special czech saaz hops - but it’s skunky out of the bottle if not really fresh, and much better on tap or even out of their cans.

Golden, yellowish in color with a small head. Slightly bitter in taste, but in a pleasant way. Good beer for drinking on a hot summer day.

The original.......nice bready aroma, with notes of grains, and corn. Flavour is much of the same. I would love to try the unfiltered version of this!

Great amount of hops. Extremly nice. Very pronounced bitterness. Probably one of the very best Pilseners around. Easy drinkable.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear golden/yellow color with a one finger white head. The aroma was very floral. The flavor was a bit skunky, but not too bad. A good bitter finish.

The CEO of SABMiller calls this his favorite beer. Weird that a beer company would have a CEO that didn’t know jack about beer. If this is your favorite beer then you are NOT a beer drinker. That said, it isn’t terrible. Pale golden color with average white head. Grassy hop and sweet malt on the aroma. Same on the taste, a little artificial-tasting. Crisp but a tad watery. It’s the "Steve Urquell" of beers (take that however you will).

the classic lager. lovely sweet malt and a good dose of hops. I’ve heard this beer was better years ago, I would love to have tried it then. very enjoyable.

Golden color, kind of a bananaish smell. Tastes a bit hoppy with more flabby fruit in there. Good if you cant get any other microbrews, but otherwise, why?
