Pilsner Urquell 3.5%

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

An orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw and malt, and the flavor is sweet malty combined with a light cardboard note. I find the flavor a bit boring, and the body thin (no wonder).

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, pilsener golden with a white head. Slightly floral hoppiness in the aroma. Fairly light-bodied - but not exactly thin - with clean, malty notes and a light, floral, hoppy finish. Even in this weaker version it’s still a nice beer. 210906

[Bottled] Golden, brief head. Oily saaz hop aroma. Medium dry with decent body. Evident Urquell flavour. Hops actually gets the upper hand on water, which is rare among Swedish supermarket beer. Medium bitterness.

50 cL can. Pours clear and golden yellow with a one finger thick and chalk white head. Aroma is vague butterish and with a mild cornish note. Mild sweet malt flavoured, light butterish and caramel note too. Vague cornish note into a mild bitter finish.

Bottle, 3.5%. Golden colour, small white head. Not too malty, but tastes of more than other 3.5% lagers. Low to medium bitterness.

Bottled. Golden colour, big creamy white head. Aroma of hops and butter. Flavour is hoppy and a bit sweetish. Like a watered down version on the normal Urquell. One of the better 3,5% beers in Sweden though.

<!-- i -->Bottled<!-- /i --> (BB 03/2007).<!-- br --> Clear golden color, decent creamy white head. Same Saaz-hoppy/buttery nose than in normal version, but much more lighter. Flavor is also watered down, but still quite drinkable. One of the best "Swedish" 3.5-beers around.
