With the dampness condensing on everything in sight, the guide stops the group and pours everyone a small sample directly from one of the wooden vessels.
This "original" 12 ° Pilsner Urquell features a full mouthfeel with a very slight but benign sulfury flavor, where the rich hops dominate the flavor profile with a very smooth bitterness.
This version has yeasty notes and fermentation by-products evident in the final flavor that you'll never find in any of the 50,000 bottles that leave the bottling line each hour.
