Pilsner Urquell

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

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.

Bottle.Clear light golden color with a foamy white head.Crisp aroma of light floral hops. Tastes slightly sweet and refreshing. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and slightly metallic . A solid offering.

Pale yellow lager with frothy head and predominantly hoppy aroma. Hoppy and grainy with crisp citric notes and bitter finish. Very good European lager.

bottled, dark golden pour with nice white head and plenty of carbonation, smell is ...odd...hoppy?...i dunno..reminds me of the "Beer" that my grandparents used to drink...yes I’m talking about that white can/bottle that used to just say "Beer"...crisp and sharp metalic taste with lingering hops on the palate, if this is the Pilsner that all others shall be judged...I’m obviously not a pilsner guy.

The beer I use to rate other beers against. This is how the beer should be - the ultimate!

(bottle): Pours a golden honey color, big frothy snow white head. Grainy smell, malts. Malty, slightly toasted taste, grains, maybe hay. Somewhat fizzy. Eh, not my style.

12oz that I nicked from our departmental picnic - thanks, John! Even though I must have had several thousand of these, I’ve got to say that it still manages to be fairly refreshing. Extremely crisp, pleasingly dry pils with some spicy hops and enough body to give it character. Euro macro for the win.

Pretty pour, thick mouthfeel for a pils, bold and malty, sweetish flowery hops, better than average.
