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!

Bottle. Another nice surprise from this brewery. Poured white fluffy head, golden body. Slight hops in aroma, agree with the flower - like comments of earlier posts, although subtle. Very clean and balanced taste with a surprising little bitter kick at the end. Overall, I do not tend to lean towards this style, but I really enjoyed this and will be buying some this summer for sure

Bright golden-yellow colour with a white head that leaves amazing lacing on the glass. Fresh, grassy, summery aroma. Body is crisp and refreshing. Flavour holds a nice balance of earthy malt and flowery hops. Really nice stuff.

VEyr alike the Pilseners but somewhat like others. It has a Canadian distinctive flavour. Good foam and great green features in the light. Good beer in the whole. I like it for a while.

radiomgb (2078) - Peterborough, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 18, 2004
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.

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.
