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.

Pours clear, pale golden colour with a small head. Light, refreshing mouthfeel, a bit dry. Aroma is malty with a hint of sweetness and bitterish hoppy. Nice and crisp balance between sweetness and bitterness. Some grassy and floral notes.

Tasted over in Prague on a visit. Nice headd and slightly hazy. Enjoyable for this style. Some sweetness in there and dry to finish.

On draugt. A clear golden colored beer, with a nice thick white head. The aroma is malty, a nice touch of hops, with some flowers. The taste is smooth bitter, hoppy and touches of fruits. It has a long soft bitter aftertaste.

Poured a light gold with a decently frothy head which was about 2 fingertips in width. A hoppy aroma with a very refreshing taste. Nicely balanced. Good beer.

Golden color with a tint of orange to it, white head. Weak aroma but picking up some malts. Subtle malt flavor with spices. Bit of a bitter aftertaste with a peppery twist to it. Not bad as it warms up either.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with bid 4 finger snow white head that receded fairly quickly and resulted in very spotty lacing. Nose is malt, sweet corn and grassy hops. Taste is sweet malt, honey and grain with a decent pils bitter finish. Medium, creamy mouth feel. I’ve had this on tap before and it’s much better. Still decent in bottles.
