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.

A light and spicy malt flavoring makes this an easy drinking beer. A somewhat tart flavoring.

Pours clear golden with a white head. Woody and earthy hop aroma. Flavor is more of the same. Not too complex, but smooth and clean. Decent.

Nice golden color that produces a foamish white head. Good consistent carbonation.This is not a complex beer but does have some stronger aromas from the European hops. This beer has an overtone of hops and finishes very clean. This is a beer best enjoyed when cold and while a mass produced beer it does have a bit of traditional Pilsener lines behind the recipe. It is a fun beer to enjoy when the pickings are slim a the grocery store.

12 oz. bottle into pint glass and on tap at a restaurant the same night. Not too light golden or overly carbonated like American macro pilsners; has a descent lasting white head. Refreshing with a nice hop character. Refreshing, and one of the better pilsners out there.

Very nice. Aroma is full of well balanced hops. It’s body is a golden color, with a huge head. It’s flavor is a well-balanced bitterness - minor malt body. It’s palate is easy, finishes with a nice tartness.

Bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville. Orange pour with a quickly disappearing head. Grassy, malty aroma with a lot of skunk. Taste is grassy, bready with a nice hop bite.
