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!

UPDATED: AUG 6, 2005 Nice touch of bitterness running through this one. Better than most pilseners, a nice pick for the cottage.

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.

On tap at Volo. Best of the lager & pilsner styles I’ve had yet. Carbonated with little head. Smell is of doughy bread, and freshly baked crust. Quite flavourful, and balanced out very nicely. Has the only "clean" taste I’ve appreciated out of this style of beer. Notes of corn, sud-like yeasty taste with a mildly hoppy profile. I wouldn’t mind a pint of this.

Pours a clear golden yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is grain and malt. Taste is a fresh, crisp malt forward pilsner. Good beer.

Bottle from the LCBO. Pours golden yellow with a quickly dissipating white head. Aroma of straw, muted malt. Flavour is crisp and somewhat bitter. This is decent.

Pours clear golden brown colour with little head that fades right away. Looks pretty carbonated. Tastes the same way. Not that great but I’m glad I tried it.
