Pilsner Urquell

Pilsner Urquell, literally the original pilsner from Plzn, Czech Republic. Notes from June, 2005:

Clear, pale golden hue. Thick, lush head.

Lively nose, pretty, floral, lightly spicy...dandy, with a dash of honey.

Neat hops on the tongue, with a long, welcome stay on the palate.

Light bodied, dry, hoppy finish.

I'm not a lager man, but a classic pilsner like this will always be a friend, in a pinch.
