Pilsner Urquell

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

Poured golden yellow with a generous bright white head into a pilsner glass. Bubbles rising to the top like champagne. Clean hoppy aroma with some citrus - distinctively pilsner. Taste was less intense than the aroma, but included some biscuits and malts. Very soft mouthfeel, nice carbonation, and a very crisp finish.

A "macro" style beer for those who like craft beer. Pors and looks much like a Bud/Coors/Miller. Tastes *similar* to these, but with no water or corn flavors. The flavor is actually malty and smooth, slightly bitter on the back end. Pretty refreshing as well. Considering this is just slightly higher than Bud at my local store, this is a great party alternative.

malty with moderate hop bitterness. good aroma of fruit and malt. very nice dark yellowish color.

Light yellow color, with hoppy fruity aroma. Shockingly bitter, with fizzy palate. I like this beer. One of the better pilseners I have had.

Can. Pours clear golden. Somewhat hoppy nose with some fruit. Bitter taste with notes of grass and malt. Good pilsener.

Pours clear golden blond. A sweet fruity nose, mainly apples, with a small hint of bitterness. A light grassy bitter flavor with a mild undiscernable sweetness. A very watery mouthfeel. Not bad, but just not really my style.

Light Saaz aroma, some almost-DMS-y pilsner malt aroma. Clean, well balanced bitterness, some toasty decoction flavour. Saaz. Nice balanced beer. Only slightly stale this time.

Not really Pilsener fans, so that obviously biases the rating. Poured from the bottle a clear golden-yellow with an adequate, though short-lived, head. Hops and bitterness dominate both the aroma and taste. Good carbonation and strong finish. This beer seems much better when it’s served with food than it does simply by itself. We were pretty disappointed: We hoped that this would be the Pilsener that we’d actually like. Didn’t quite do it.
