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!

This beer has a mild yeasty grape aroma. It is gold with a thin white head. This moderately dry beer has a stale sour nutty grape taste.

Bottle courtesy of MrManning. Next my disclaimer, don’t really like pilsners, so even tougher to rate to style for me. Clear golden with ring of bubbles. Decent floral, somewhat bitng spiciness hop character in the aroma, slightest hint of skunk creeping in. Flavor doesn’t register on the palate, until half way through the sip. Very sweet to start, fades to a residuel sugar and the slightest skunkiness. Try to be fair, just this style does nothing for me.

Draught at Volo. Not bad if a bit generically American, with harsh grains & hops up front as opposed to a floral and delicate dance of hops and sweetness. Nothing offensive in it but any Czech import would improve on this for me.

Blonde pale, apparence claire et filtrée, faible mousse blanche. Dominée par le beurre sous une touche légčrement fruités, grains et houblon noble apportant un vague côté épicé en bouche. Épaisseur mince ŕ semi mince, carbonatation piquante.

Clear very pale gold. Light white ring. perfumey nose, floral and spicy saaz hops. minty edges, limited maltiness. Slightly buttery in mouth, but it works thanks to a rather crisp, spicy bitterness. good balance, moderately high carbonation, light body.

Sampled draught at the Winking Judge in Hamilton, ON with Olivier_MTL, tiggmlt and Rastacoure...then three days later from 341 ml bottle. The draught sample had a pronounced lime character in the aroma, which is only lightly present in this bottle...pour with a decent fluffy head, quickly diminishing with no real lace, atop a light golden body....very bready nose, bit of sourdough but more rye, with light floral hops struggling to be smelled....body is nice and full, fairly bitter and tart to begin with but smoothing out quite a bit, lots of bready underlying malt, nicely crisp throughout, quite nicely carbonated. Draught would probably rate around 2.8-3; this review is for the bottle, which on the whole is very pleasing and surprising. Merci Stephen!
