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. Pours gold with a white head. Malty aroma with a hint of almost herbal hops. Light, body, very crisp and refreshing. Clean malt flavor with a hop presence that shows itself in a rather short finish. Very good considering it’s wide availability.

Bottle from Tank’s Bar & Grill in Dayton. Has a typical pilsener, lager aroma. Clear bright golden in color with a white head. Has a decent bitter sweet taste. It’s pretty much what I expected from a quality pilsener, nothing too surprising. Definitely a clean, crisp finish though.

nice pilsener aroma, quite strong aroma for a macro. white head, relatively large, darkish clear yellow. Looks great. bitter taste (like pilsene) but a little more sweetness and bitterness than the average pilsener. aftertaste is sweet combined with pilsener. aftertaste lasts for a while. Great taste for a "low" alc.% beer.

Considering this is a mass produced beer it doesn’t seem to suffer the problems of other such beers in that you pretty much know what you are going to get all the time.

12oz bottle: pours golden brown with large white head that fades to lacing in about a minute. aroma of very pale grain and some hints of butterscotch. best lager i have ever had could apeal to anyone looking for an easy drinker all the way up to the biggest beer snob.

The thing I most remember about this beer is that it had one of the most memorable aromas that jumped out at me as soon as I opened the bottle. It was crisp and fairly strong, but not overpowering. The appearance wasn’t all too impressive to me -- yellow with a head that dissipated within a minute or two. Flavor was good for a light beer as this, especially since I am a fan of the darker beers. There was enough of a hoppy taste to tell you are drinking a good beer, but not so much hops as to overpower the taste. Overall a well-balanced taste. The texture was a bit thin but smooth. Overall one of my favorite beers for chilling on the deck during the summer.
