It is a great beer to be sure. Best in the world...nope! There are many light/svetle ales out there particulary i.p.a that scupper this one. Try meantime timothy taylor etc. Trouble is czech's are terribly nationalistic and don't know the world of beers out there.
Urquell is best from a pub,,its still skunky as the bottle but has a better head. Try cask conditioned ales instead

Come to Prague, sit down in Celnice and drink this beer from the tankand then tell me if it's not one of the best you ever had. This is theflavor that created the legend. Truly a fantastic tasty beer.On the other hand, I've also drank it in California from a bottle andthe long ride from CR killed the flavor. What you get in the gocerystore doesn't compare to the fresh stuff.

It tastes great. Absolutely fabulous. Those who diss it or don't likeit, are probably used to the horse piss they call beer in America.Redneck unsophisticates should stay away from opining on beer. Oranything e4lse for that matter.

Again,this is the father of the beer. It has something that no other beercan have - full and rich, bitter taste that refreshes you at the timeit reaches your lips. Excellent for digestion, I recommend to drink toevery good meel you might have. Thick, creamy foam that sits on thetop of the glass like a whipped cream which gives it its uniqueaesthetics. You see it and immediatelly you feel the water in yourmounth that tells you - go and grab it. One of the best which you canget is at the main square place in Plzen. Enjoy it.

Like many of the comments before mine, I agree that Pilsner Urquell is the pilsner to set standards by. The Sazz hops used create a crisp distinct flavor that in unmatched.

THE beer! Best in the entire world...It's subtle taste that comes from the use of soft water and Czech hop.Not too heavy and not too thin and sexless like Budweiser or PilsnerBudvar. Nice, sweet bouqet but still not too sweet in the taste. Theperfect PH along with slight traces of bitterness caused by the hopmakes this beer harmonic and uplifting to drink.- What beer is allabout.
