Aroma: Rich with complex malt and a spicy, floral Saaz hop bouquet. Some diacetyl is acceptable, but need not be
present. Otherwise clean, with no fruity esters.
Appearance: Very pale gold to deep burnished gold, brilliant to very clear, with a dense, long-lasting, creamy white
head.
Flavor: Rich, complex maltiness combined with a pronounced yet soft and rounded bitterness and flavor from Saaz
hops. Some diacetyl is acceptable, but need not be present. Bitterness is prominent but never harsh, and does not
linger. The aftertaste is balanced between malt and hops. Clean, no fruity esters.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied (although diacetyl, if present, may make it seem medium-full), medium carbonation.
Overall Impression: Crisp, complex and well-rounded yet refreshing.

Pilsner Urquell is somewhat heavier (with an almost ale-like fruitiness in the malt body) and
more strongly hopped than most so-called pilseners. Saaz hops, a noble hop variety, are a key
element in its flavor profile. Alcohol will be around 5.5%
