75 cl, 33 cl (25.4 fl.oz., 11.2 fl.oz.), 8% alc. vol.
Named Cinq Cents in 75 cl (25.4 fl.oz.) bottles, this beer with its typical golden colour, its slightly hazy appearance and its fine head is especially characterised by its aroma which results from an agreeable combination of fresh hops and yeast.
The beer's flavour, as sensed in the mouth, comes from the smell of hops: above all it is the fruity notes of muscat and raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma.
The aroma complements the touch of bitterness. There is no acidity, but an after-bitterness which melts in the mouth.
This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.

Often called “mild” if it is on draft, brown ale is a walnut-colored specialty of the North of England. A festive-occasion beer, brown ale is one of the oldest English brewing styles, mentioned in literature in the 16th century. Beers brewed at the old brewery have a round, nutty flavor because of the Yorkshire square system of fermentation.[/FONT]

brewery
Pilsner Urquell in original glass
Pilsner Urquell (in
German) or
Plzeňský prazdroj (in
Czech) is a bottom-fermenting
beer produced since
1842 in
Plzeň,
Bohemia (now in the
Czech Republic).
The beer is today the flagship brand of global brewing giant
SABMiller, which has controversially also started brewing Pilsner Urquell in
Poland.
As its name indicates ("Urquell" is German for "original source"), it is the world's first
pilsener, or golden beer, developed by Bavarian brewer
Josef Groll in
1842. Most popular
lagers produced in the rest of the world are based upon this original beer. Any beer that calls itself a
pilsner is referring to its being made in the style of this beer, first formulated in the
Plzeň area.
Pilsner Urquell is somewhat heavier (with an almost
ale-like fruitiness in the
malt body) and more strongly
hopped than most imitation "pilseners."
The historical records of
brewing in
Plzeň date back to
1295 when
Václav II gave the
privilege of brewing to 260 households. The first
brewery is mentioned in
1307 when it was given to the Church of St. Bartholomew as a bequest of Wolfram Zwinilinger.
