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 - pours clear light honey with a large thick and frothy white head that lasts and lasts and leaves beautiful lacing. Delicate, champagne-like carbonation. Aroma very fruity and grassy with light caramel malt. So far, very true to style. Flavour is a delicious balance of sweet grainy malt and crisp, flowery hops. A note of white grape as well. Nice dry finish with that true-to-pils-style Saaz bite. Excellent stuff, and I had forgotten how good it is when fresh. A perfect rediscovery just in time for the start of warm days.

Appearance: Light straw with big fluffy white head. Aroma: Light candyish malt with floral hop aroma. Smells of sweet tarts and geraniums. Flavour: Dry rich malt character with full floral hop taste. Good balance between bitterness and malt. Mouthfeel: Dry and sparkling. Fluffy and light bodied Overall: Crisp dry pilsner rich and full but finishes dry as a bone. Lingering floral hop character. Very clean.

Sample at April 2007 Brewnosers meeting. Pale yellow, hazy, with a mostly lasting creamy and frothy white head. Honey, floral, toasty aroma. Decent honey and toasty malts, nicely floral and fresh grassy bitter finish. Light to medium bodied, refreshing. A good lager, better than any pilsner available locally, but a Bohemian Pilsner?

[102-20061116] 341mL. Grainy, slightly skunky aroma. Pale yellow body with big bubbles around the edges and a foamy white head. Flavour is watery and metallic, light leafy, light grassy. Light body. OK togetherness but not great.

Golden-yellow beer; fast disappearing white head. Vanilla, freshly ground coffeebeans, going over in fresh, warm pilsnermalt, tad cookies. No hops discernible? At least, in the taste there are (quite) some hops overlying the straw-y, haylike malts. Actually, pretty bitter with some metallic tang. Pleasing, if somewhat aggressive flavours. I would’ve classified it under Classic German pilsner, rather than Bohemian, (despite the Saaz), but the difference is meagre. Again hay retronasal. Medium bodied, grist slickness. Nowhere bad, this "Ultra Premium" Pilsner. Txs, Stephen!

341ml bottle - pours a clear golden colour with a smallish white head. Aroma of floral Saaz hops in the nose, along with grassy, citrusy notes. Flavour is very crisp, with a dry hop bite all the way through, with enough malt to keep things very smooth. Lots of flavour, and nice that it’s not afraid of the hop. There’s nothing mind blowing about this, or incredibly interesting, but it’s a very solid, refreshing pilsner that would be a perfect summer thirst quencher. Recommended for the style.
