In 1842, our first Brewmaster Josef Groll brewed a beer unlike any other. His crisp, refreshing golden lager was made with local ingredients: sweet Moravian barley, delicately bitter Saaz hops, soft Pilsen water, and bottom-fermenting H-strain yeast. Groll named this special beer after the city where he brewed it, Pilsen, where we still brew the same beer today. Over the last 178 years, pilsner-style lager has become the world’s most popular beer, with seven out of 10 beers in the world imitating Groll’s innovation. There are many pilsner-style beers out there, but only one original.

500ml, can.
A pretty standard commercial beer. The draft version is a fan-favourite in the summer, on terraces - as far as I know :D

0,5 l glass at Pilsner Urquell brewpub in Plzen. Amazing experience. Golden colour with average head.Light resin and herbal hops moderate malty and sweet. Good body and nice carbo. Bottled doesn’t taste so good.

Pours a beautiful gold w/medium white head. Always great looking. Too bad it is frequently skunked. But anyway there’s a lot of hop and malt when its not.

On tap at a restaurant somewhere in Prague. Pours clear gold with a large, foamy off-white head. Nose is rather biscuity and malt-forward with some dried grass. Flavour has clean biscuit malts, some damp grass. Far from the best pilsner available here, but still very well done.

Bottle. My late Opa from Germany turned me on to this beer. Even so, I really didn’t care for it. It is way too bitter for me. The color and aroma are not bad but after drinking it I really didn’t care to have another.
