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) Pours a clear yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of toasted malt, grass, and light herbal notes. Flavor of toasted oats and light citrus.

Another solid Creemore product, not as good as the urBock or Lager but still worth a try. Poured golden yellow with white head. Aromas of wheat grains and hops. Very clean taste of sweetened grains following through to a medium bitter hop finish. A very nice pilsner overall.

[333-20070610] 473mL (c/o tuqueboy, w/ him, jerc). Floral yeasty grains aroma. Clear, amber orange body with lots of big bubbles and a quick bubbly foamy off-white head. Floral grains continues in flavour. Light-medium body. Nicely put together.

Can. Typical medium-gold pilsner appearance. Pleasant, forward hop aroma, plus grain and wet gravel. Clean, refreshing palate. Flavour follows through on the hop aroma tease with good bitterness. Malt and pine needle round out the finish. A good pilsner, though an odd addition to the Creemore stable considering their lager was allegedly modelled on Pilsner Urquell.

Can. Really nice. Clear gold and not a very large head. Grassy/hoppy aroma and some mild sweetness and a crisp hint of hops. Goes down smooth, but definitely makes an impression. I’ll be stocking up for summer.

Am I the only one who thought this tased like a can of Molson Canadian? Perhaps with a good tradition that Creemore has, my expactations may have been to high. I coud not shake the unpleasing taste, that reminded me of a plain, light Molson beer.

Can courtesty of Tuqueboy from the LCBO. Golden yellow body with a small creamy white head. Floral hops and a light musty note to the aroma. Similar floral hops in the flavour, moderate bitterness throughout. This is an adequate, fairly mainstream pilsener, and I am not a particularly big fan of the style, but it does beg the question of why they bothered to make this when their regular lager is more interesting if it has been served fresh. <P> This marks my 400th Ontario Rating!!! Counting the numbers is silly, but some of them are meaningful to me and this is one of them since I actively sought out the beers of my home province, and planning weekends around travel to the many breweries and brewpubs around Ontario. Anyways, it is a small thing that I will revel in nonetheless, and I look forward to many new local beers.

Pours a golden yellow, with a thin white film. Strangest aroma I think i’ve ever smelt, but enjoyable, very very grainey. Good solid malt base, with a touch of honey in the middle and a perfect hoppy finish a very well balanced beer. Carbonation is almost perfect, and the finish is very good. A top notch pilsner, probably one of my favourites of this style.
