Creemore Springs Traditional Pilsner

Brewed by Creemore Springs (MolsonCoors)
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Creemore, Canada

bottle. Poured clear amber with a thin white head. Grassy hop aroma. Creamy mouthfeel. Flavour in malty and bready with some light herbal hop notes. Finishes slightly bitter and dry.

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.

Pours gold with a nice fine bubble white head. Some lacing. Nose of cut grass and some wheat/cereal grains. Flavour is fairly solid, but not hoppy enough to be a Bohemian. Clean and well made. Just north of average.

Canned sample via gregclow. Light gold in colour with medium carbonation. It’s got a nice mix of floral hop and slightly bready malt aromas. Flavor wise, it’s somewhat similar to the regular Creemore Springs beer, only a bit less sweet, a bit more bitter, and with a nice grassy hop flavor. Still not really hoppy or bitter enough to put it into that traditional Bohemian pilsner class, but it’s nice and drinkable stuff.

Can - 473ml. Limpid golden body with average carbonation and a good white foamy head. Well balanced malty/hoppy aroma with herbal, flowery and bready notes. Its sharp taste is clearly dominated by hoppy flavors. However, some nutty and malty hints are detectable. It ends with a decent bitter/hoppy finish. Well done Pilsner.

473ml can dated 3 weeks from racking A rough pour from the can reveals a bright gold crystal clear lager with a rocky, sticky 2 finger white cap... modest retention but leaves a surface lace that clings to the glass. Aroma: Pungent biscuit malts fill the room as soon as the can opens...in the glass there is a grainy-bready note with the muted aromas of boiled saaz pellets (same hops as in their lager but more pronounced). The big floral "traditional" pilsner nose is lacking on this one...but spice hopping under the ample biscuity malt tones are not unwelcome . Flavor Profile: Big chewy biscuit malts dominate the flavor in the front side...light sweetness and a light herbal balance...mid palate the hops become more bitter and there are more medicinal bittering from the hops, light, barely detectable floral note....Finish is crisp, drying and hoppy with the sharp "bite: that is the signature of Creemore beers from their hard water. Still a good stab at a Spaten Pils clone....but one has to wonder at this price and with the availability of Urquell or Budvar why would you prefer a more costly domestic approximation? The answer is this is fresher tasting even if it is deficient in several "traditional" Czech pils factors , a fresh imitator is better than a stale or over dated authentic import.

pours medium gold with thin head. Aroma is light and grainy. Flavour is pale malt, grainy, slight grassy hop, clean finish. Decent and drinkable.

473 ml can, Mulmur. Clean golden colour, very little head. Hoppy, grass & spice aroma. Smooth tasting, nice bitter finish. Good for the style, much more body than other brewers attempts.
