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!

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.

Amendment 10/02: Solid shot of hops - like most pilsners this doesn’t last very long but found ultra-fresh this is damn fine (upgrade from 3.3 to 3.6)

Original notes: Golden, flowery, honeyish, curranty aroma; crisp finish, good malt character.

Hazy light blond color. Light malt and hop aroma. Dry mouthfeel, well hopped. Not amazing but a notch above the average. Strong bitterness.

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.
