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 bubbly gold with a large mostly-lasting white head. Pleasant enough aroma of herbal hops, bready yeast and grass. Flavour’s a bit hoppier then I expected -- it’s not that it’s really hoppy or anything it’s just that I was expecting to taste none. Saaz hops, sweet malt, biscuity yeast, a bit grassy and a light bitter finish. Good approximation of a decent European Pilsener. It does share certain similarities to the Creemore Lager. Medium bodied. This is far from my favourite beer style but this is a failry good version of it.

Can. Gold, light head of tiny bubbles. Aroma of grass with hints of vegetable and bread yeast. Enjoyable bready beer. Faint taste of pepper and a decent body.

Hoppy aroma with a bit of malt, amber, pours a fair sized white head, some lace also. Flavour is malt, some decent bitterness, biscuity. Clean, crisp, balanced and bitter. Very nice offering. Happy Anniversary!

473ml can from Hogtown Harry; Nose of grain and grassy hops; tranlucent gold with a big yellow-tinged head; flavor has very light hop bitterness balanced by light sweetness; a good lawnmower or session brew but only very light bitterness!

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.

Can, LCBO. Medium yellow, a few bubbles, decent sized fluffy white head with only a little bit of lacing. Interesting mineral nose, faint hops. Very bready, not all that unlike the lager. Taste - honestly, served at a crappy sports pub, like Creemore lager is a lot these days, I would have a hard time distinguishing this from the lager. A little more crisp and thinner, which makes the hops a little more pronounced, but man, that is very simliiar. I’m not an expert on the style, but I don’t think all pils suck like I may have a few years ago either - I’ve had some great ones since and this doesn’t come close. But as is, it is a quenching summer drink - that this market did not need at all.

[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.
