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.

Bottle: I have always really liked this beer, although I have not had one in a while. Aroma and flavor is a little skunky, but in a good way. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Clear pale amber with no head. Pleasant hoppy aroma. Light body, well carbonated. Lovely flavour starting with sweet malt shifting rapidly to a long pleasantaly hoppy bitter finish. An excellent pilsner.

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.
