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.

For me, Pilsner Urquell is a legendary beer brand and at least for me the strongest brand from east (stronger than Elan and Skoda). It always a pleasure to sip this well brewed beer with so balanced taste world + very nice hop taste quarantees perfect sourness. If you are spending night with men and one of your friends has a sixpack of Pilsner Urquell and you have, let’s say newcastle brown ale, you just not have fun that night.

0.5l bottle. Fresh malt aroma. Medium nody, aftertaste stays for a while, very bitter when tongue gets dry.

thebhoy (55) - Ontario, CANADA - MAY 17, 2013
Classic, easy-drinking pilsner in which all other pilsners strive to emulate. It certainly has that sort of herbal crispness that edges it beyond the others of the style. A very sessionable beer when the sun is hot. Certainly doesn’t rank high in terms of sought after beers, nor do I think too much about this one, but it hits the spot in certain occasions.

Gutifa (97) - Bad Wurzach, GERMANY - MAY 17, 2013
Classic between the classics. Appearance is simply perfect, white creamy head and golden clean liquid. Aroma is ligth hoppy, cereal and bread. In mouth, some saaz hops and more cereal. The end is kinda bitter for a Pils. Maybe is not the best, but still really good. In Pilsn even better. But at home, for 11€ the box of 25 also is not bad...

TarcisioVasco (105) - Ribeirăo Preto (SP)., BRAZIL - MAY 15, 2013
A minha Pilsen favorita, uma grande cerveja, lúpulo com amargor presente, um clássico da República Tcheca, terra de origem do Estilo Pilsen. Ela mostra que Pilsen de verdade năo deveria ter adjuntos, e precisariam caprichar mais na lupulagem, cerveja pra qualquer momento, qualquer estaçăo do ano.

A - Crystal clear golden body with a firm 2 finger white head. S - Sweet grain, chalky lager yeast, a bit of skunk diacetyl as well. T - Sweet roasted grain, good amount of earthy noble hops pop on the tongue, some honey like sweetness at the back end. M - Creamy medium body, wet, low carbonation. Very flavorful for 4.40ABV. Good aftertaste and really refreshing. Serving type: bottle 09-04-2011

Fritz123 (235) - Boca Raton, Florida, USA - MAY 12, 2013
Bottle from Total Wine in Boca Raton, FL. American pint glass. Thick frothy white head that disappears quickly. Beautiful clear yellow pour. Some lace. Aroma of grass, biscuit and light citrus. Taste is bread, biscuit, fresh grass and very light malts. Bitter hoppy finish and slightly dry. Probably one of the best balanced pilsner’s I’ve ever had.

16 ounce can poured into a pint glass at a Minneapolis restaurant. First Czech Pils style for me. Dry and bitter with crispness on the palate.

This is exactly what a pilsner should taste like. Ultra light and clean with citrus, floral, almost soapy hop flavor. Are these Saaz hops?
