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.

Aroma is largley malty with a grassy hop character as well. The beer looks pretty enough in a glass, it is a deep golden color with a big fluffy white head. Flavor is of straw, earth, salt, and bitter hops. This beer is very clean and refreshing.

Bottle. A light sour and quite hoppy smell, also a light smell of soap and grass. A large white creamy head and a golden body. The taste is moderate bitter with a average duration. The body is light to medium, very dry and light creamy with a soft carbonation and a light metallic and quite astringent finish. A good Pilsener.

Draft. Lighty straw color with a big soapy, foamy, white head. Weak aroma, though not bad with some bitterness and hay. Light flavor, some sourness with a nice hop kick balancing things out in the finish. A sharp, refreshing mouthfeel. Not an amazing beer, but solid for the style and one of the better mass produced pils you’ll find at a lot of bars.

First real notes on this one, and from a bottle. Gold with a nice white head. Light and crisp like every Urquell I’ve ever had. Slightly bitter hops balance out the bready malts. Classic all the way. I remember the tap being better, though at the time I was also sitting outside in 70F after moving for two hours. Still, a delightful beer for the warm months no matter how it’s served. This would be wonderful at a baseball game.

From a 12 fl. oz. green bottle marked 05268-01:17. Pours a golden yellow with an abundent supply of foamy white head and adequate lacing. The head sticks around for the session. Decent sweet malts and yeast in the aroma. Medium mouth feel. Flavor is strong on malts with a light, hoppy finish. An enjoyable experience.

Dreaft, pours golden with a thin white head. The aroma was wheat, yeast, and a little bit of hops. The taste was very watered down and strong with wheat. It was rather refreshing and smooth going down, but nothing real special here.
