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!

A great summer thirst quencher. Pale yellow colour out of the bottle with very little head. The aroma is straw and the flavour is similar, but with a great refreshing hop bite on the finish.

Creamy and crisp and dry aftertaste.A summer beer. Salty carbonation with a bit of mid sip fruit, or rather herbal. Floarl hops aroma. Generous carbonation but not aggressive on tongue Was just as good on tap, fruity, and less carbonation.

Golden colour. Aroma was of hops, grass, earthy and quite fresh. Flavour was quite hoppy, lots of grass, some wheat and malt. Medium body, very clean and crisp. Finishes with a moderate bitterness and dry.

Rich aroma. This is probably the way that a Bohemian Pilsener should come off, but all I’ve seen have been phenolic. Popcorn/peanut or some familiar salty aroma. Clear light gol. Big head. Hoppy, a little musky and tart. Long traililng hops. Not sweet.

Features distilled water, to allegedly mimic the quality of water found in the Czech Republic (the birthplace of the lager [pilsner] style of brewing). Warm, bold-gold brew is exactly what you’d expect from a premium pilsner. Innocent aromas of sweet cereal and canned pineapple are soon followed by a devious bite of bitterness that heads straight for the sinuses. This same woody bitterness is immediately apparent in the taste, which imparts an especially rewarding experience for those who enjoy bitter brews. It is said that an appreciation of bitterness is the last taste sensation to evolve on your tongue. How evolved are you?

Pours a nice, clear golden yellow with a nice head. Aroma is a swath of cut grass--hops, indeed. Mouthfeel is crisp and clean with well-balanced carbonation. Taste is a wallop of bitter that washes back into a nice finish with an aftertaste of bitter that lingers just long enough. It’s nice to have a fresh pilsner. So often the imports are a gamble--will they or won’t they be skunked...? So, a lovely brew that I think I’ll be enjoying as long as I’m in Ontario.
