Pilsner Urquell Nefiltrovaný (unfiltered) is available regularly only at Na Parkanu in Plzen and, every October at selected pubs under the Volba Sladků brand. A limited number of kegs were exported to Sweden and Finland for special events. Though the beer is not kvasnicovy (yeast beer), as there is no wort or young yeast added, it is unfiltered.
Note that this is not the same as the more widespread tankovná (tank beer) or the unpasteurized (filtered) version, both of which are found throughout Prague and Czech Republic. all of these other versions should be reviewed under the regular Pilsner Urquell entry. Additionally, the 170 year Anniversary flip-top bottles should be reviewed under the regular Pilsner Urquell entry.
The version of the beer available in the brewery cellars should be rated in its own entry.

From tap at Mi2 at Cardinal 27.10.14 and from tap at Na Parkanu in Pilzn 11.12.14. Hazy pale golden. White head. Aroma of Czech hops, flowers, fresh grass and yeast. Very refreshing taste and aftertaste. Well-balanced with bitterness.

On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Fairly clear golden colour (beginning of keg, will probably be hazier towards the end). Large white head. Strong aroma of herbal hops (Saaz, I assume), hints of butterscotch as expected, but not disturbing, Lovely and fresh hoppy and herbal character throughout in the flavour, distinct bittering hops in the finish.

Pilsner Urquell Nefiltrovaný (CZ) - Bohemian Pilsener/Keller - 4.4%
0.5L at Na Parkanu, Plzen. Hazy gold color, big white head. Of course similar to the original Urquell, close to the unpasteurized version found in Plzensky Prazdroj, yet more smooth, fluffy, silky, full bodied, creamy texture, very fresh. Proper carbonation, yeast has a key role here but is not overwhelming. Excellent pilsener, and possibly THE pilsener.

På fat. Riktigt god pilsner. Smak och doft av humle,, malt, jäst med toner av karamell och örter. Jämn och len. Fruktig med fin beska. Välbalanserad och lagom sötma. Karaktär.

Draught at Bishops Arms. Cloudy, golden colour with a light amber tint. Dense, white head. Sweet aroma with grasses - the grass hops bite as is Urquells trademark is definitely there - fruits, pale malts and hay. Taste is light bitter. Medium body with a creamy texture and an average carbonation. Finishes dry and bitter with grasses, fruits and hay. Must taste this one fresh in the Czech Republic.

Wooden Cask @ EBBC14, Dublin [270614]
Light golden, huge fluffy white head, hazy, good lacing
Aroma - very fresh soft grassy, soft yeast, pale lager malts
Taste as aroma, fresh soft grassy bitter, soft yeast, slight zest, quite complex flavour, hoppy for a pilsner, bit bready
Palate - Medium carb and body, quite a creamy texture, refreshing, fairly bitter finish
Overall - This is from memory as I made no notes at the time....certainly a very drinkable lager with much more flavour than ordinary tap version. I’m not a fan of lagers but could easily enjoy an few pints of this....wish I made proper notes at the time but didn’t think then it would be a separate entry...
