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!

I really liked this pilsner. Light gold/straw colour with a thick and white frothy head. Nose is citrusy, slightly floral, and hoppy. Taste is interesting. it is bitter sweet with some subtle citrus notes. Nice! Great tingle in the throat with a slight bitter aftertaste. Great pilsner.

Bottle. Another nice surprise from this brewery. Poured white fluffy head, golden body. Slight hops in aroma, agree with the flower - like comments of earlier posts, although subtle. Very clean and balanced taste with a surprising little bitter kick at the end. Overall, I do not tend to lean towards this style, but I really enjoyed this and will be buying some this summer for sure

Pours a nice gold color, rocky white head. Aroma of pale malts and a bit of hops. Flavor was off though, buttery, not all that pleasant. I may have sat on it for too long. I have another bottle so I’ll rerate.

Nice touch of bitterness running through this one. Better than most pilseners, a nice pick for the cottage.

Pale yellow with a small white head. Grainy, malt aroma. Sweet malty body with a pretty nice crisp hoppy finish.

Not a bad pilsner. Nicely Bittered. Offers more flavor than what you will usually taste in a typical pilsner.

I like this pilsener. Pours gold with a soapy sticky head. Clean hop aroma. Slightly earthier and rounder in the malts than some other pilseners. Hops still carry over a decent ammount of bitterness. Slight fennel and honey accents. Mild apple and perfumey hops. Aroma is pretty dull, but the rest of the character is pretty much bang on.

Plenty of sticky foam to coat the mineral, citrusy perfume...Saaz character is detected, as well as a distinctive wooden hop presence...Too much carbonation and a lack of pils malt point to a vycepni flavorwise, more than the lezak category of Czech pils...Sulphur stares at the onset and hops linger slightly...An uninspired but palatable portrait of Bohemia...
