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.

Purchased a 6-pack of this at the LCBO. Second brew tried from this brewery. Says "Ultra Premium Beer" on top label and box (did not know that something could be more than premium). Pours a slightly hazy golden colour with a frothy white cap that gives out loads of lacing. Nice grainy sweet malt nose. Decent medium-bodied with a little dryness, a little crispiness and well-balanced with some wetness. The hop shows up more in the taste. Not as sweet as the aromas, grainy with beautiful grass and slight bitterness in the finish. A really good Canadian Pilsner that is pretty close to most good Euro ones.

On tap. Trying to be kind to a genre I don’t love... Clear straw pour, high carbonation, quick white head. Yup it’s a pilsner. Grass and straw, kind of bready aftertaste. Aroma and flavour mirror one another. It’s refreshing and put out the fire on my jalapeno laced sausage. Light, bubbly, inoffensive. Not that I hate this. It is what it is, and many people like it. There’s better pilsners, but obviously some effort has been put in and it’s better than many. Drink 10 of them on a hot day, or with hot food. Just watch out for the gas.

Really impressed by beer considering its domestic. It tastes very European. Nice bitter taste and crispness. Only complaint is that head disappears fast.

Appearance : Clear pale yellow with nice foamy white head. Extensive lacing.
Aroma : Malt and light grain. Crisp citrusy notes.
Taste : Malt and grain with light hops. Light bitterness.
Overall : Good pils. Refreshing and drinkable. Really nice looking. Could have a bit more character and a bit more hops. Vienna was better.
