It’s a great summer beer to enjoy long and often. All that, perfectly balanced with a nice, back of the throat bite of bitterness at the finish. There’s a soft, syrupy sweetness from the malt just underneath, that is helped along with just a hint of honey. More intense and dry and crisp than just about anything else you’ll ever come across. The 4.4% alcohol is fortunate, because it certainly has more taste, especially on those hot summer days. Many others import these same barley and hops, but much is lost in the translation. You can smell the fields this stuff is from. This definitive pilsner lager is a deeper gold than you’re probably used to seeing from the pretenders, with a nice frothy head.

After all, it’s a very rare product that can withstand a century and a half of competition from imitators the world over and still remain the best. No one has managed to do it any better yet.īut that’s just history. This is what all those others have been attempting to copy since 1842. It’s name means ‘Pilsner from the original source’. Before then, beer was heavy, dark and cloudy. From Pilsen in the Czech Republic, this was the first golden pilsner in the world. No one should consider pilsners without considering the granddaddy of them all, Pilsner Urquell. By: Mike Barkacs Home / Vices Channel / Bullz-Eye Home
