Pilsner Urquell

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

bottle, 0.5 L. drank this from the bottle. very refreshing indeed. slightly bitter, not sweet, not old. very fresh.

( 12oz bottle) Pours a very pale yellow with nice oily head with large bubbles. Bubbles continue to stick around after head dissipates, lacing is nice too. Aroma of honey, light bitter/crisp hops, orange zest, and grass. Quite complex for a "staple" beer. Taste is different than the nose, but really enjoyable. Crisp low hop presence increases the drinkability here, creamy body and finish, no bitter aftertaste. This is one solid pilsner and is so drinkable. You can even smell the yeast profile in this one somewhat, and drinks with a mild spiciness to it. A long description for a worthy example of this style.

Pours a nice deep clear gold with medium white head, minimal lacing. Aroma of slight hops, decent bready malt, and grass. Flavor matches well and is top notch in the world of pilsners. Very refreshing and enjoyable.

foamy white big head with an orange-amber body, smell is mineraly, woody. it tastes like a light biscuity malt, with salty dry taste. it is full tasting and a little pleasant biteyness. the 4.4 makes me sad but its a good beer

500 ml can from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass.

App.: Fairly deep golden, clear with a night white froth. Aroma: Typical Pilsener – nice grassy, wet hay, light biscuit malts, very lightly fruity. Palate: Medium body, fairly full carbonation, somewhat smooth, slightly astringent. Flav.: Grassy peppery Saaz hops supported by lightly fruity, toasty malts; dry with decent bitterness and a light greenish malt finish.

Nice for style...go figure.

Good pilsner deserving of its reputation and popularity, if not a great beer. dominated by hops and malt with some citrus as well.

This chap came out of the bottle with a very nice amber colour along with the standard foamy white head, leaving a small amount of lacing. Aroma was hoppily bitter, and enjoyable to inhale. Taste was right there, and the mouthfeel was almost ’snappy’. Aftertaste also a good ’un.

Bottle and on tap at the Clarkston Union, I only buy this beer in 12 packs which are enclosed and shielded from light, otherwise, the beer will be skunky, pours a clear medium gold with honey gold and browns hints, has a good amount of effervescence, initially had a two to three finger high brilliant white head that recedes to a ring and cover, head was white and foamy looking, leaves some nice lacing on he glass, aroma of grass and flower hops, malt, light bread and light sweetness on the nose (if you buy single bottles or six packs the beer will be skunky because it is exposed to light), flavor of pilsner malt, light bread and some hop bitterness that trials a little after the finish, mouth feel is medium and provides some soft bitterness on the palate, great beer when it is not skunky, I heartily recommend this treat.
