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.

Of course, this beer defines pilsner. I guess I’m lucky enough to have not experienced the ’skunk’ factor in the bottles. I’ve never had this beer on draft...but if it’s better than the bottled version I’ll be in heaven. Simply incredible beer. The bubbles seem to dance to the top of the glass. The hop/malt balance comes out on the side of the hops, and it’s just perfect. Golden, clear, lively. A super beer!

UPDATED: MAY 27, 2003 Pale golden, good carbonation. Wonderful clean, fresh, hoppy aroma. Flavor is light and crisp, with a nice richness, fairly malty and well balanced with perfect dry finish.

Just when I thought this beer had lost all its flavour, I went to the brewery and tasted it - and it was 5 times as good as out of the bottle. hugely malty, buttery, and of course, amazingly bitter and floral from the fresh hops... woah. went down extremely well with goulash and dumplings at 11am, and there’s not many beers I could say that about.

This should be ranked as a great beer. Definitely worth the price.

I love this beer. It’s like Heineken made right. The only problem is it is too expensive...but damn tasty!!
