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!

Golden color, off-white head, lace. Sticky hayish-fresh hoppy aroma. Grass hoppy flavor, some buttery notes. Grassy aftertaste. Decent imitation of Czech pils.

Bottled@SBWF2007. Yellowish golden colour with small white head. A very cleanly made pils both to the aroma and flavour. Refreshing and easy to drink.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Pale golden, brief head. Papery malt aroma. Dry and medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Lightly grassy. Finishes with medium bitterness. Not at all all a bad effort, but I’d like my pilseners more crisp and with less cardboard.

On tap at Volo. Best of the lager & pilsner styles I’ve had yet. Carbonated with little head. Smell is of doughy bread, and freshly baked crust. Quite flavourful, and balanced out very nicely. Has the only "clean" taste I’ve appreciated out of this style of beer. Notes of corn, sud-like yeasty taste with a mildly hoppy profile. I wouldn’t mind a pint of this.

Another pils made by and Ontario micro that you would think came from germany in a blind taste test. Great bready malty aroma and flavour. Superb balance, a great pils.

I was pretty excited about this one, and it didn’t let me down. Aroma is just the typical floral hops, that’s pretty much it. Pours a gold colour with a very small head (that will eventually leave nice lacing on the glass), it looks heavily carbonated. The taste right away is hoppy, definitely some good saaz hops, but maybe some other kinds as well. Then the finish is bitter with a sweet aftertaste of malts. Unlike other bohemians I’ve had, this one seemed to divide up the tastes, instead of having a blend the whole way through (both approaches worked for though). EDIT: Fresh batch for the year, and MAN this stuff is good. Better than I remember. Perfect floral hops and perfectly balanced sweetness/bitterness. The malts are more bready than I remember, and delicious!

on tap @ volo. Pale golden with a white fluffy head. Aroma is grassy, earthy and floral with a slight sweet malt aroma. The taste is earthy/floral hops. Good carbonation, kinda thin, with a nice bitter finish. overall very refreshing pilsner perfect for a warm summers day.
