The Bottom Line
Beer from a can has gotten a bad rap for a long time. There's something cheap or low class presumed of beer served in or from a can. Consequently, it can be hard or impossible to find good beer or premium brands packaged this way. This is a mistake. Canned beer is protected from light and arrives to the consumer in a more "brewery fresh" state than bottled beer. So when Pilsner Urquell contacted me and offered to send some samples of their canned beer I jumped at the opportunity. I've only ever had it from the green bottles that are widely available here in the US and it is almost always skunked to some degree.
Pros
- Full flavor
Cons
- Canned beer stigma
Description
- Nice, mouth filling, almost creamy lager
- Plenty of hops bitterness - this beer won't get cloying
- Don't dismiss it because it's in a can! Serve it right - in a glass - and it's great.
