Pilsner Urquell

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.

3.3 330ml bottle best before 13 June 23 (4 months to go). Pours gold with a thin head. Aroma of malt, hops, with a bit of green apple. Moderate to mouthfeel and firm bitterness on the finish. I'd have another.

3.3 Plzensky Prazdroj - Pilsen, Plzen Region, Czech Republic

3.5 Bottle bought in the UK (Waitrose) to revisit an old favourite of mine and it did not dissapoint. Clear, slighlty darker golden pour with a decent white head. Aromas of malt, bread, grass/hay, faint (citrus) fruit). Taste similar with a decent bitter finish. Dry and crisp - for a macro beer, it is really good.

4.1 Muy buena. Sabor intenso sin amargar demasiado, un poco áspera al paladar

3.7 Bottle from Waitrose . Pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma of fresh bread, hay, spicy pepper & some biscuit with a little citrus. Taste of more bread, honey, biscuit, pepper and bitterness & a little citrus. Lightish bodied and smooth with ok carbonation. The finish is dry and bitter with more bread , honey, pepper and biscuit.

1.3 Aroma of maltiness, sweetness and herbs. The taste is malty, herbal and incredibly bitter. Heavy bitterness that fills the entire mouth for an eternity. Not good at all. Unbalanced and difficult to drink. Follow me @ Kung av öl @ Facebook and Instagram for more pictures and ratings.

3.6 Catada en copa pilsner. Color dorado, translucida, espuma blanca , carbonatación media. Aromas sutiles pero presentes, fesco , herbal, malta, ligeramente floral, lúpulo, cereales...En boca es suave, de cuerpo medio, tiene cierta evolución, buen equilibrio, ligeramente dulce aunque en conjunto tiende más al amargor, notas de pan blanco, nueces, malta, lúpulo...Buena cerveza, referente del estilo, imprescindible probarla.

4.2 Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Waitrose I think. Pours clear honey-gold with a creamy, white topping. Effervescent. Lightly sweet with some hard pale grains, dried biscuits, a little grass, straw. Light bodied with average carbonation. Super clean and dry in the finish, more biscuits, lightly husky grains, sun-kissed malts, some bitter hay. Not sure there’s a better mass-market beer out there.

3.3 Чудовий смак, і гірчить приємно

3.0 was soll man zu über einer Milliarde Hektoliter Ausstoß noch sagen? Das industriell hergestellte Pilsner Urquell hat l nichts mehr mit dem ursprünglichen original zu tun. der Geruch ist für ein Pilz Bohemian Style typisch schlank hopfig. die goldgelbe Farbe mit dem widerstandsfähigen feinporigen Schaum ist gut getroffen. Antrunk und Abgang sind recht neutral mit erkennbaren Hopfen jedoch wenig Gewürz. so wie sich auch andere Erfinder von Bier Stielen zurücklehnen und keine weitere Verbesserung benötigen schöpft Pilsner Urquell die Gewinne ab ohne Qualität zu bieten. 07-2018

3.1 Crisp and clean tasting pilsner. Slightly bitter and malty. Doesn't have the sweet, corn syrup flavours of most of the big macro lagers. Dry finish. Very moreish.

4.6 황금빛, 홉향 가득, 필스너 특유의 쓴맛이 확 느껴지면서도 곡물, 꿀의 단맛이 가득함

2.1 Purchased in Canada. Label says it contains hop extract. Standard pilsner taste, not bad, but way too expensive. Still some significant alcohol flavour despite being only 4.4% but that's not unexpected in a pilsner.

3.8 500ml Bottle at Home 12/08/2020 Medium carbonation. Thick white head. Hoppy and floral aroma. Clear golden coloured pale and hoppy with a crisp bitter and slightly creamy malt finish.

3.2 Had at Hive party hostel Budapest

2.4 Clean, bitter sweet symphony, a perfect Pilsner

4.9 Oui

2.9 Golden color, small white head. Aromas of bread, hops and cereal. Taste of malt, hops, yeast and earth.

3.0 Light Pilsner

3.3 Geel bier met schuim. Smaak is bitter hoppig met een bijna perfecte bitterheid. Een heel lichte citrus smaak maakt het af. Zo hoort een pils te smaken.

3.3 Bought a Can in Tesco Express Petržalka. This beer is the etalon of pilseners. It has nice dark yellow color. Nice, long lasting foam and good carbonation. It has dominant hops and nice meadow flowers notes. Hops are very well made without unpleasant bitter aftertaste. The malts are not prominent, it feels little watery. It is not my favorite beer, but it brings nice memories, I drank lot of it. It is well made honest beer.

3.9 Die Optik gestaltet sich sehr schön. Tiefgoldgelb und klar mit feiner bis mittelgrober Perlage, die sich langsam ihren Weg nach oben bahnt. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone gibt dabei ein flaumiges und gut haltbares Bild ab. Die Duftaromatik gestaltet sich leicht süßlich-malzig bis leicht holzig und weich bis butterig. Der Antrunk kommt frisch, angenehm spritzig und führt eine gute Malznote, sowie eine passende kräftige Herbe mit sich. Am Gaumen entfaltet sich ein vollmundiger Körper mit einer schönen malzigen Grundnote und einer kräftigen Würze. Die trockene, aber heuig-aromatische Hopfenherbe passt dabei sehr gut ins Bild. Der weiche bis butterige Unterton verschafft diesem Bier ein sehr gutes Mundgefühl und eine ebenso gute Süffigkeit. Im Nachtrunk wirkt der würzige Charakter gut nach und eine trockene Herbe stellt sich zunehmends ein. Fazit: Pilsner Urquell ist nicht nur ein großer Name, sondern wahrlich auch ein richtig gutes Bier. So viel Geschmack bei lediglich 4,4% Alkohol findet man übrigens auch sehr selten.

3.2 Złote, klarowne, z obfitą, białą pianą. W zapachu słód i zioła. W smaku półwytrawne, zbożowe, z nutą świeżego pieczywa i średnią, ziołowo trawiastą goryczką. Średnie co2, pijalne jak zimne. 3.2

2.2 Burk från SB. Klar, guldig, vit krona. Brödigt, mineral, lagom beska. Men förvånansvärt blaskigt - kan inte minnas att jag upplevt den såhär tidigare.

3.2 50 cl can @ home. Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma and flavour are malt, grass, and hops - with a smooth finish.

3.3 Lovely pilsener

3.0 De garrafa 330ml, considerada a mãe das Pilsners, espuma pouco duradoura, cor dourada, sabor a malte é um amargor existente. Uma cerveja diferente, mas agradável. 👏🏻🇨🇿🍺

3.5 Dark yellow, with an initially frothy but quickly dissipating head. Earthy, coppery and spicy nose. Malty sweet up front with a nice balanced lingering bitterness. Hint of lemon in the mouth, slightly floral in the middle. A classic.

3.8 Clear golden color with rich creamy head. Taste mildly bitter with bitter after. Light and refreshing. Low carbonation. Can: Beautifull golden clean color, creamy white head. Medium carbonation bubbles. Aroma yeast, malt, fruity. Cramy rich taste, malty, medium bitter, medium bitter aftertaste, slightly sweet. Beautifull body. World famous for a reason.

4.1 Beautiful honey aroma with light hop. Beautiful 1 inch head on perfectly clear beer. Beer is a little darker than most pilsners. Flavor starts off malty but bitterness takes over quickly. Aftertaste is hoppy. As beer warms the malt becomes more prominent and the beer is especially delicious. When cold, the bitterness overwhelms the beer. I think it’s better on tap than in the bottle. I would point out that served refrigerator cold it’s just too bitter for me. When it warms up the malt equals the hops and it’s divine. Since the beer predates refrigerators it shouldn’t be served ice cold, just like you wouldn’t serve a British bitter ice cold.
