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.

Tap at Na Parkanu. Strong barley malt and yeast aroma. Cloudy amber color with giant off-white head. Yeasty barley malt flavor with a strong dry grass hops finish. Everything that’s great about Pilsner Urquell coupled with everything that’s great about an unfiltered beer - glorious. If only I could have this every day. From Brewery tour - Honey barley malt and hops aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with large head. Honey barley malt with moderate Saaz hops flavor. Light carbonation. So great.

Draught at U Pinkasu, pours light gold, tall frothy white head. Nose is light and floral. Very full bodied malt flavors with a lovely soft sazz bitterness. More mellowed in the finish than the bottled. Very refreshing pilsner.

(6/26/08) Draught at Na Parkanu in Plzen. Hazy golden with a rather big and bubbly white head. Aroma of some yeast and nice grassy hoppiness. Flavor starts a bit malty sweet with some yeastiness and finishes with good grassy hops bitterness. Medium-bodied. Very fresh and tasty. 7/4/7/4/15=3.7

Draught at Na Parkanu, Plzen.
Hazy pale golden coloured, medium sized long-lasting white head, light hoppy nose. Sweet malty, nice hoppy and grassy taste with pleasant fruity and yeasty notes. Moderate bitter finish. Very nice bohemian pils.

Hazy golden beer ith a lasting white head leaving a fine lace.
At the brewery tour: Top marks for ambience in this magical cellar with the wooden lagering barrels. Malty aroma with a touch of sulphur - but the musty cellar isn’t perfect for beer sniffing. Full bodied malty flavour quickly to be followed by a rich hop flavour and bitterness. A hint of tannin in the aftertaste, unless that’s just my imagination. 6-4-8-4-15=3.7
At Na Parkanu: Malty aroma with even less sulphur. Some grassy hops too. Lots of malt sweetness and biscuit flavour plays backbone to a fine hop flavour and strong bitterness. I far preferred this version, or maybe just that the setting was better for serious tasting.

On tap at Na Parkanu. I had been travelling all day from London to Plzen and I had humped my luggage halfway across town to my hotel, before heading down here to meet up with the rest of the RBESG. I hadn’t had a drink all day and it had been very hot by English standards. So by 19.30 I was gasping for a cold beer. Which makes this probably explains partly why I liked it so much. Slightly cloudy gold, thick off white head. Earthy aroma. Yeast. This is gorgeous. Some bitterness/yeast/earthy. So refreshing. Almost tastes as if it was dryhopped with earthy hops. That is awesome. 4.3/5.0. Re-rate 2 days later on the Saturday evening with Chris_o and Ruth. I still absolutely loved this, but I knocked 0.1 off now that I had time to reflect more on it. Still the best Czech beer I had over the weekend and the only one I conciously went back for. We had a filtered pint inbetween 2 unfiltered and the difference really was startling. The unfiltered is just so much better. Re-rate-unfiltered from the brewery from the wood. Hazy gold, thin lasting white head, slightly woody yeast, hoppy aroma. I think maybe more intense than the Na Parkanu version, bit more uncultured, more hoppy, but I prefer the Na Parkanu more 3.8/5.0

RBESG, on tap at na Parkanu, alongside (iirc) omhper, DSG and oh6gdx Poured a hazy gold body with a big fluffy white head that went away slowly. Man I hate the fact that I might be underrating this, but I wasn’t as impressed as I was with some beers earlier that day. A very grainy nose with some nice hopiness. Taste. Notes of orange, lovely hoppy taste. Strong hoppy bitterness near the end. Herbal, chewy, somewhat dusty. I hope to try this again as soon as I can. I really have this nagging feeling that I’ve missed something.

Had this one during the brewery tour out of one of the barrels. Beautiful hazy golden color, short head. Aroma and taste of a perfect bohemian pilsener, nicely bitter, complex. Probably the best pilsener i have ever tasted.
