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.

Gold body with a quickly shrinking head. Can’t break the smell apart...yet. Thick palate for an abv of 4.4 on a see -through beer. Oily. A nice hoptitude. The taste lingers and lingers and ...lingers..until you put something else in your mouth. My version was Czech and in the evil green bottle covered by cardboard variety. $7.99 a sixer in South Carolina, worth the price for an original, maybe not so for an American of the same ilk.

Grainy slightly skunky smell that alot of pilsners have. Clear golden colour. Foamy head doesn’t last long. Tart grassy, hoppy taste. Bitter finish. True to the pilsner style. Not bad.

Clear gold pour. Fizzy white head and rather thin in the lace department. Clean refreshing. Thin bodied notable hints of hops

Bottle. Pours a very clear golden yellow. Not much head. The aroma is not too distinct. Clean slightly hoppy taste. I am not a fan of pilsners in general. Not terrible. Went OK with some pizza.

Tap. White head, rapidly leaving, pale yellow color, pleasant nose with nice hops, flavor mild with nothiing much there, watery palate, which reminded me why beers were brewed in the middle ages (purify water), so I think this shows the evolution of beers over the last few decades.

Absolutely one of the most unique beers I’ve ever tasted... very hoppy, beautiful golden color, perfectly skunky... good stuff! Cheers!
