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.

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.

Nice saaz hops nose. Kind of pale-looking, even for a pilsner. Just the right amount of hop bitterness for a pilsner. Not quite enough malt to round it out. A good session beer, or you could always serve it with some extra-healthy czech food.

A very hoppy entrant in the Ontario pils market. I tried the tap at Smokeless Joe’s and enjoyed the golden brew; although, it was too bitter for my fiance!

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. A lightly hazy golden beer iwth a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw and malt. The flavor is sweet mlaty with notes of straw, leading to a dry bitter finish with notes of hay lingering.

Not a bad pilsner. Nicely Bittered. Offers more flavor than what you will usually taste in a typical pilsner.

Draught at Volo. Not bad if a bit generically American, with harsh grains & hops up front as opposed to a floral and delicate dance of hops and sweetness. Nothing offensive in it but any Czech import would improve on this for me.

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.
