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.

Found this at a local grocery store in a pint can. Color is golden yellow with a little head when poured with medium carbonation. Aroma has a floral hoppiness to it along with a less distinctive sweet malt aroma. Flavor is very Saazy floral with sweet malt flavor and no aftertaste. I have had this from the bottle and tasted the skunkiness but from the can, this is completely absent and really allows you to taste what the beer should taste like.

Tasted over in Prague on a visit. Nice headd and slightly hazy. Enjoyable for this style. Some sweetness in there and dry to finish.

On draugt. A clear golden colored beer, with a nice thick white head. The aroma is malty, a nice touch of hops, with some flowers. The taste is smooth bitter, hoppy and touches of fruits. It has a long soft bitter aftertaste.

Poured a light gold with a decently frothy head which was about 2 fingertips in width. A hoppy aroma with a very refreshing taste. Nicely balanced. Good beer.

Golden color with a tint of orange to it, white head. Weak aroma but picking up some malts. Subtle malt flavor with spices. Bit of a bitter aftertaste with a peppery twist to it. Not bad as it warms up either.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with bid 4 finger snow white head that receded fairly quickly and resulted in very spotty lacing. Nose is malt, sweet corn and grassy hops. Taste is sweet malt, honey and grain with a decent pils bitter finish. Medium, creamy mouth feel. I’ve had this on tap before and it’s much better. Still decent in bottles.
