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.

Very good beer. My favorite Czech beer available in the US, but I will say that this tasted better in the Czech Republic, which isn’t surprising. Has a little bite to it, and you can really taste the cleanliness in it’s bite. This beer is great on a very warm day, b/c it makes me feel refreshed.

A Mes rate: Draught at the Ranelagh.
Lovely dark gold colour with an excellent white head and some great condition in it. Adding to the appearance score is the awesome glass. All too often this never reaches us folks in the UK fresh enough. However, when it is good, like the little girl with the curl, it is very very good. Slight sulfur in the nose with some excellent fruity hoppage just behind it. awesome fresh hoppy flavour with some utterly glorious pale malt and just the right amount of bitterness in the finish. The fruity notes are easily the best this style has to offer for me so far and the body is pretty much as good as a pilsener can be. So bloody drinkable. Absolutely excellent.

A pretty good, smooth pilsner. Hadn’t had this in a long time and when in my head I lined it up against some other widely produced pilsners it came out ahead. Smooth, tasty and easy to suck back. I would only want this rally cold and fresh - I’m guessing that would be best.

I don’t thnk I’ve ever seen this out of a bottle. Pours a small head that dissipates quickly. Very clean and crisp orange-amber-gold body. You can really smell the plant matter. Taste is light until it hits the back of the tongue and you get a little jolt of bitter before it quickly goes down the gullet. Very light and smooth mouthfeel. Fun to drink. Great pilsener!

Another beer Miller got thier paws on, Taste is great one of my favorites. Plenty of taste I have heard it said that when this brew used to be shipped over from Czech, it would be at its best if it was kept cold throughout the journey across the sea, into the distributor, into the store and to the customer. Taste its very best when served icy cold

Can from StFun! Golden yellow color, small head. Taste is a smooth, clean, and fresh. Small amount of hops and malt. To be honest not much to write about, but still a good pilsner. Better than any macro. Thanks Josh!

Draught at Boulder Junction. Came way too cold in a pint glass. Golden yellow with minimal head. Mild hoppy aroma. Semi-bitter finish. Better as it warmed. I’ll make a note to try it again someday soon.

Pours a golden yellow color, slightly grassy aroma. Sligthly fizzy white head dissipates fairly quickly. Hoppy, and slightly grapefruity, with a good crisp taste for a Pilsner. Not a particularly complex or notable taste, but a standard Pilsner benchmark.
