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.

Pours amber gold, medium off white head, medium carbonation. Dusty, strawy, ever so slightly honeyed nose. Crisp, round taste - straw and perfectly balanced bitterness. No wonder this sparked the most popular beer type worldwide.

Bottle and can. Clear deep golden body with a thick off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of grass, buttered bread, underripe strawberries and grain. Flavour of earth, herbs and a bitter finish. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. An excellent lager, flavoursome and bitter.

The unpasteurised version on tap is still an outstanding pils. Goes down incredibly well with duck, cabbage and Czech dumplings. Nice balance of malt and hops with a clean and satisfying aftertaste. I had this at U zlatého tygra (the Golden Tiger) near the old town square in Prague. No longer Czech owned (Asahi has owned it for several years) but the quality is still there. Still the best of its kind.

Bottle drunk at Sigi's birthday. Crisp, dry, earthy with smooth lightly-metallic bitterness that lasts. Classic and tasty, maybe the best beer in green glass.

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
0,33l and 500ml, bottle.
