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.

i nice pilsener and an awesome experience. drank this beer throughout prague, in my opinion not quite as good as the budweiser budvar but definately worth a trip to the brewery in Plzen.

Aug 1, 2006 This is one of my mainstream favorites, enjoyed recently on London trip in Chelsea, but have also drank in Praha. Very refreshing and not too strong. Clean.

Canned. Dark yellow/golden clear body, thick cloudy white head. Yeast in the aroma, some sour fruit. Grapes? Dishrag is a good description. The taste is better, with lemon, hops. Honey?

Pours a cloudy golden color with a white head. Aroma of lemon an dyeast. Smooth flavor of lemon, yeast, and some malts. Very nice for a pilsner.

500ml can. Pours golden, transparent in a tall pilsener glass. Nice carbonation with a large, disappearing head. I smell lemon, honey, yeast. Tastes buttery, bready with some metal in the flavour. I suspect that bottle equals better.
