Greetings from beautiful Prague, Czech Republic! I was fortunate to get the chance to visit this wonderful city for three days while I was in Europe and if I could have I would have never left! Everything about this place is terrific, the architecture, culture, food, and of course the beer! I decided to start with the FIRST AND ORIGINAL pilsner and The Czech Republic's most popular beer, Pilsner Urquell.
This first ever pilsner was invented in 1842 in the town of Pilsen, Czech Republic and the name translates to "The pilsner from the original source." My girlfriend and I were walking close to our hotel and we noticed a cafe and decided to stop for some beer and a quick bite. I knew The Czech Republic was know for it's great beer but I had no idea! This beer had an amazing, thick, and creamy head that lasted until the very end. (That's what she said) But seriously amazing!! Nice deep golden color with hints of malt and sweet honeysuckle in the nose. Very aromatic. The taste is unreal! I am used the the American "Pilsners" and with a single drink this put them all to shame. So complex in flavor and yet so simple. Very full flavored and malty with the not too overbearing hoppy aftertaste .
I was enjoying this beer so much I forgot to take a lot of notes on it. I highly recommend you get yourself a case, sit back, and do the same so you know what I am talking about!!
