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.

At Na Parkanu in Plzen-CZ, with Mowbeer (twice). Pours a cloudy and bright golden color, a bit orange with a huge frothy white foam (very adhesive). Nose: floral-grassy Salz hops, fresh harvested grass, the nose is mostly dominated by this fresh bouquet. Awesome aroma! Mouth: again aggressively bitter, grassy, a bit creamy. Clean and definitely on the bitter side. Recalls the great Franconian gravity barrels. The most appreciable thing in both the mouth and the nose is the pureness of the local hops.

Tap at Taphouse in Copenhagen. The real unfiltered found its way to cph. Hazy yellow white head. Dry aroma. Yeasty notes and perhaps a little bit of dough. The filtered one is much more perfumy or flowery in comparison. Flavor is yeasty malty and euro hoppy. Some sweet notes too. Filtered is cleaner and a little less yeasty. Palate is decisively softer and nicer in the unfiltered version. Somehow the unfiltered has the best overall taste to it. But both are fine specimens. As I see it the unfiltered is overrated at ratebeer , probably not the best of its kind.

8/VII/15 - on tap @ the beer museum (Plzen) - BB: n/a (2015-882) Thanks to Motelpogo for the beer and food!
Bit hazy orange to deep blond beer, huge creamy off-white head, very stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: yeast (top fermenting, very specific smell), brewery, wort, little metallic. MF: soft carbon, full body, smooth creamy texture. Taste: bit sweet, malty touch, fruity notes, soft bitterness, citrus. Aftertaste: bit fruity, nice bitter hops, grassy, very creamy and smooth finish. It's really amazing how much better this beer is, unfiltered and straight from tap! So much fuller, richer, creamier, tastier. Lovely beer and should be again Czech's number 1 beer, totally deserved! (when writing this, the n°1 beer is Matuska Stout with 18 ratings)

Sample at En Öl- & Whiskymässa, Gothenburg, April, 2015. Three 25 litres kegs were brought along from the brewery, this was sampled from the first one opened. Clear deeep golden, soft, thick white four finger foam dissipating slowly leaving lots of lacings. Amazingly present aroma, with a wall of grass, floral, bready, slightly buttery feel. Taste is medium bitter, superb balance with bready, malty hints along with floral and grassy notes, velvet mouthfeel, slight bitterness in the finish. I may be a bit over exaggerated here, but still, this IS brutally tasty with the most delightful mouthfeel and high drinkability.
