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.

To me, this beer is delicious. It seems thicker than other pilsners, giving it an aura of substance and a great sense of value. It has a perfectly balanced hop-flavor to hop-bitterness taste. It also has a decidedly European taste to it, relaying a hint of dusty cobblestoned streets and of sweaty non-airconditioned Europeans themselves (This could be real or an imagination, but nonetheless it’s there). If I were forced, God forbid, to choose one beer to drink everyday for the rest of my life, this might have to be the choice - it’s well balanced, and I like to live by the Golden Mean.

Golden yellow pour with a lingering white head. A sour, fruity nose. Refreshing, light body. Some maltiness with a crisp bitter finish. A tasty, balanced refreshing beer. Knocked a bit off for a slight skunkiness.

500ml can Poured a light gold color. with a 1/2" foam head. Very smooth and crisp, A very good tasting beer. I found it to be refreshing, and goes down easy. A great beer while watching a game.

Tap at the Malt House - Pours a light amber, clear with a nice white head. Smells slightly yeasty, with some bready malt and light floral hops. Taste is bready with some slightly sweet, grassy hops when cold. Turns less bitter and more floral as it warms. Still fairly skunky, which is a big turn-off and why I’ve avoided this one in the bottle. It’s smooth, however, and a bit sweet with a dry, grassy finish. Decent.

I have had this beer in bottle (bottle rating 2.0) and on tap, this rating is for the beer on tap. Pours a medium yellow with little head and little lacing. The taste is nicely ballanced between malt and hops. The taste is crisp hops with a slight dry aftertaste. If you can get this on draft enjoy, if you have to drink it out of a green bottle watch out for the skunk.

One of my favorite Pilsners. Very integrated malty, bitter aromas and flavors with good bite. A pub beer to savor, with or without food.

Pours a dark straw colour, clear, with a white head. The aroma is of malt and hops. The taste is bitter with a long finish and strong carbonation. Overall a good pilsner beer.

Traditional czech beer, very good to ordinary drinking. Great thing about that - you can drink five or more glasses and it will taste same as you drinked first one :)
