Plzeňský Prazdroj Pilsner Urquell Pilsener at 4.4% ABV ($4.06 at Dominion Stavanger, 500 ml, best before 26-Apr-2015)
Pours clear pale gold with one finger of loose white head diminishing rapidly to nothing, no lacing. (3/5) Nose is pale malt, honey, grassy hops, bready yeast. (6/10) Taste is moderate sweet, mild bitter. (6/10) Medium to light body, moderate to low carbonation, off-dry crisp finish. (3/5)
I’m not a huge fan of pilseners in general, finding them to be boring at best. This is actually a pretty good example of the style, but still pretty darned boring. Better than I was expecting it to be, but still not something I’d necessarily go looking for. However, when considering “single cans in your local’s cooler”, you could do a lot worse. (12/20)
My 141st from the 2010 Edition of 1001 Beers, 134th from the 2013 Edition, and 149th combining both editions.
