Plzeňský Prazdroj Pilsner Urquell

**Aroma:** “Very delicate at first, skunky, with some muscular German hops aroma that’s mostly floral. Behind that lies some cracker and mild bread sweetness. Earthy, sulfur tones, and spicy and earthy notes.” **Flavor:** “Skunkiness up front, followed by malty biscuit, honey, and cracker. Floral hops bring on some spice and bitterness, along with some lime. Good body and high carbonation create a nice bite at the end.” **Overall:** “Refreshing and welcome if you like the simple nature of this beer. Bright, light, and a little rough around the edges, but well-balanced with the hops and malt flavors.”

**Aroma:** “Baked bread and honey, with a hint of toasted biscuit and freshly milled grain make for nice malt complexity. Light oxidized note with some sherry, and as it warms a hint of raisin emerges. Floral and piney hops, with a bit of skunk and dankiness.” **Flavor:** “The malt takes charge, but the skunkiness hits up front. Some lime, spruce needles, and light floral round out the hops character and carry through the finish with some spicy bitterness. Pilsner back end, with a sulfury dry finish.” **Overall:** “The malt and hops were nice, but a bit rough. The oxidized sweetness toward the end of the sip felt a little out of balance, but a touch more body would help round it out. The inviting bitterness with a combination of earthy and pine notes is reminiscent of a summer day in the forest.”

**Aroma:** “The malty aroma leaves a clean, sweet bready biscuit initial impression. Slightly flowery and citrusy hops character, with some woody and spicy notes. Low sulfur with some mineral notes.” **Flavor:** “Malty, biscuit sweetness is smooth, light-bodied, solid, and slightly sweet. The lemony, floral, spicy hops accent the clean malt bill nicely, and the high carbonation makes everything pop just a little. Finishes with just enough bitterness to make you want another sip—or gulp.” **Overall:** “A wonderfully light and refreshing beer that leans slightly more toward a Helles in its focus, but overall, it is still well-crafted. It’s on the low end of a hoppy lager, but the high end of a traditional Pilsner. Enjoyable, crisp, and clean, and blended well throughout.”
