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!

MartinT (6350) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - DEC 11, 2003
UPDATED: NOV 11, 2005 Plenty of sticky foam to coat the mineral, citrusy perfume...Saaz character is detected, as well as a distinctive wooden hop presence...Too much carbonation and a lack of pils malt point to a vycepni flavorwise, more than the lezak category of Czech pils...Sulphur stares at the onset and hops linger slightly...An uninspired but palatable portrait of Bohemia...

tiggmtl (4475) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 22, 2005
Grassy, lightly spicy hops and grainy pils malt in the aroma. Clear pale golden colour with low white head that diminishes to partial cover with some lace. Grainy pils malt character with moderately crisp finishing bitterness. Medium-light body is somewhat slick but offset by lively carbonation. Lager glass, just above fridge temp. Bottle (RBSG’05 leftovers).

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.

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.

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.
