Commercial Description:
Authentic European Style Pilsner 4.8% alc./vol. True to style in every regard, this authentic Czech-style Pilsner is truely unique in North America. The beer is brewed with an all imported Plisner malt, all Saaz hops and a true Czech yeast strain. The brewery uses only distilled water and remineralizes it to deliver an authentic taste every time. The bright golden pilsner is a full-bodied, refreshingly great tasting beer. It delivers a soft texture, complimented by the proper balance of malt and Saaz hops. Its flavour begins with a pleasing malty or bready taste but is sufficiently hopped to impart a dry bitter tang with a very clean finish. This is a very inviting beer that compliments many foods and has enough body to compliment even the heaviest of meals. This complex beer provides a more flavourful yet true to style option to some of the more popular imports. Consumers are quoted as saying "there is not a beer in Canada that tastes like King Pilsner", or "this beer tastes like the true Pilsners in Europe" King Pilsner is considered Ultra Premium because no expense is spared to produce this world-class beer. It is made with the best of ingredients, and most importantly the water is distilled and the mineral content adjusted to match the water table of the beers country of origin (in this case the Czech Republic). This provides a flavour profile that only the truest of Pilsners can match. These ingredients as well as King's proprietary process delivers one of the best tasting beers in the world!

341 ml bottle from Beer Store. Pours slightly dark golden in colour, with nice big frothy head, which dissipates slowly, leaving thick lacing. Aroma is hoppy, notes of bread and grass. Flavour is the same, quite bitter. Carbonation is lively, and fine. Great Pilsner!

Bottle. It’s golden and well carbonated in a tall pilsner flute. The head is relatively thick with some wisps of lacing on the glass. In the aroma there is lots of hay, some bread and butter, dandelion with light grassy hops behind. Mouthfeel is light to medium in body, slightly chewy. The flavour is fairly grassy with more dandelion, grain, plenty of buttery malt. The finish lingers just a bit with more grass and grain.

Bottled. Not nearly as bad as I was expecting! Actually, it is pretty good. Dryish, ricey aroma, with nice spicy hops. Flavor is actually rather sweet, but nicely so, complimented by a spritzy, gingery hop. Easy drinking, balanced. Goes well with tomato soup.

Pint on tap at Ritz Deli North. Gold with a short-lived white head. Grassy aroma of pilsner malt and noble hops - not too strong. Flavour can be described in the same way. Could perhaps finish a little dryer. More cautious than bold, but an accurate and tasty representation of the style.

Excellent....simply excellent! The grassy notes of Steam Whistle with perhaps a smoother finish. Dare I say this may even go down smoother than a Steamer? An excellent and refreshing Pil!

33 cl bottle, Mulmur, ON, Canada. Medium golden colour, frothy 1/2 inch head that stays. Quite visible carbonation, grain and fresh grass aroma. Nice mellowness with some sweetness and balanced bitterness on the finish. Very nice.

On draft at Volo. Gold in colour with medium carbonation. Well balanced aromas of clean pilsner malts and strong herbal and earthy hops. In the mouth, it’s a simple yet classic one-two punch of clean yet distinct malts and herbal hops. Finishes quite dry with a savory bitterness. A very impressive North American micro brewed interpretation of the style.

bottle. Thanks to Lord Beamish for this one again. Not as mind blowing as their dark lager (how many beers are?) but another quality beer in completely different style. The brewmaster is a genius. This is Steamwhistle’s long lost twin or silent cousin, as the taste similarties between these 2 beers is uncanny. Same grass/hay taste and bitter, tangy finish. The care and quality ingredients going into this are evident. Support this microbrewery as they put out quality stuff!
