Commercial Description:
The first pilsner was brewed in 1842, over a hundred years ago, in the Bohemian town of Plzen. Revolutionary at the time, it was a fired-brewed beer characterized by a rich golden colour, sweet malty flavour and an abundance of hops. Our brewmaster visited the Czech Republic to study their methods and in honour of our 20th anniversary we are proud to share his interpretation of this classic beer style. Similar to original pilsners, our direct fire brewing process and combination of specialty malts yield a beer with a deep golden colour and delicious malt flavours. Natural spring water creates a soft pure background on which Czech hops impart a fresh fragrant aroma and bitter finish.

CAN from lcbo, served cold in tall Czech pils crystal. Clear golden bubbly pour, medium-light viscosity. Aroma -some wet hay, mostly nice and open with fresh grass, grains and hops. Opens sweetly grassy with some bitterness that carries over a lingering hop finish. Slight edge from beginning vanishes yielding supreme drinkability. Lightly sweet malt taste and good body, not heavy. Extraordinarily sweet-drinking, delicate & fresh beer, Creemore’s simple genius here truly evokes a fresh Bohemian Pilsner. I could drink only this happily for some time!

473ml can, slightly chilled poured into a tall pilsner flute. Lightly golden, transparent. This has a nice, tall head that is disappearing pretty quickly. There is a steady stream of carbonation heading to the surface. The aroma is fairly faint: distantly bready with some yeast and a bit of grass. The initial flavour is sadly metallic, likely influenced by the beer can, leading to some grass in the finish.

473ml can acquired in trade with Sammy - thanks! Poured a medium golden-yellow color with a larger sized white head. Aromas of graininess, wet grass, and I was getting some spiciness. Tastes of the same graininess and had a lighter sweetish finish.

Golden colour. Mild-mannered brew with light, somewhat skunky hop character. The finish has a little dryness but the hop disappears in a hurry. A bit of a travesty, really.

Can. Clear, golden, fizzy off-white foam had to be imagined as we sipped this clandestinely smack dab in the middle of monkey-suit central in Toronto, in surrounded by skyscrapers. Grainy aroma, hardly hoppy. Thin, but quaffable and not too carbonated. Flavorless finish. Better than a swill for sure, but not a great brew. It’s grassy, somewhat phenolic but not horrid.
