A distinctively average pilsner as expected. Good session beer with a clean smooth finish.

lesifflebiere (542) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 12, 2013
Or liquide, couche de mousse blanche qui s’envole rapidement. À l’odeur, c’est sans surprise que l’on détecte du sucre, du maïs et des céréales blondes. Désaltérante, possédant une effervescence acceptable, elle a cette petite amertume caractéristique des pilsner en fin de bouche, et cela la différencie de la plupart de ses consoeurs blondes sans visage ; cependant ses avantages s’arrêtent là, car elle présente aussi plusieurs des mêmes défauts, dont l’aquosité, le sucre trop présent, et un manque d’audace flagrant.

Bière-Luc (359) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 12, 2013
Bière blonde, pâle et limpide, avec un mince filet de mousse. Le nez est subtile; il évoque les céréales fraîches et l’herbe mouillée. En bouche, la bière est mince et pétillante avec une finale légèrement sucrée qui rappelle le miel. La König est une pilsner moyenne sans défaut majeur, mais aussi sans grande qualité.

fabioanselmo (67) - Vila Velha, BRAZIL - JUN 11, 2013
Aroma de malte lupulado com sabor levemente amargo característico de cervejas puro malte. Cerveja leve, refrescante de bom conjunto. Não me surpreendeu!

gyllenbock (3022) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUN 5, 2013
Can from Systembolaget in Rotebro. Clear golden with a large, fluffy white head. This was a boring one. Some grass, grain and butter. Also some notes of yeast. Sweet and on the thin side.

Marduk (1330) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - MAY 31, 2013
500ml can. Pale yellow color. Small white head, stays. Malty, grainy aroma. Malty, buttery, metallic and watery flavor.

auerbrau (2989) - Peace Dale, Rhode Island, USA - MAY 27, 2013
500mL Can, purchased at Craft Beer Cellar - Belmont, MA. Mineral, graham cracker, and lager aroma. Flavors are snappy, but a little thinner and washed out than a certain other white-labeled German pilsner commonly available in the can. Regardless, I’m very grateful, for fresh German-style pilsner, that’s crisp, bright and lively.

stevoj (975) - Ramstein-Miesenbach, GERMANY - MAY 7, 2013
Pilsener seems flat and bland. Very dry finish. Aroma is faint cereal grain. Taste is crackers, bread, not very exciting. Nice label, average beer.

Benzai (4444) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - MAY 6, 2013
50cl can @ home while entering my ratings from CBC 2013. Clear golden color, medium to full sized white to off-white head. Aroma is moderately malty, medium grainy, lightly bread. Taste malts, lightly grainy, hayish, nicely bitter. Medium carbonation, ok body. Nice pilsener on this warm sunny day.
