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.

Clear. dark, gold w/ quickly dissipating off-white head. Mildly metallic hoppy aroma. Thick, creamy feel. Some grassy-graininess up front, w/ a dry, tobacco-like, bitter finish.

473 mL Can. Golden body with a small fizzy-foamy short-lived white head. Aroma of grassy hops, yeast, some malt sweetness, somewhat astringent. Sweet malt flavor with notes of citrus and overripe fruit, a hint of hard candy, a biscuit-like aftertaste followed with a hoppy finish that isn’t too overpowering. A good pick for a warm spring day.

smell is very light, overripe fruit. its golden with a head that fades to nothing. taste is strangely fruity like plums and corny, taste of hard candy, slightly oily but medium bodied mouthfeel, its just.. strange tasting. definitely unlike any pilsner ive had. very cloying after a while with the sweetness and overripe fruit

473ml can poured into a Pilsner glass. Poured a golden yellow color with a white head that disappeared in a couple minutes. Smells of grassy hops and some malt sweetness but overall I found the aroma is a little too light. Tastes of bitter hops with some malt sweetness. Finish is bitter but not in a good way on my taste buds. Average carbonation with a light crisp feel. The one can went down pretty quick but I can’t see myself drinking more than a couple due to the aftertaste. It’s ok but I’d rather have Creemore’s Lager instead.

This is very similar to Grolsch I find. Which is my "usual" beer. Skunky smell, with a slight bitter and hop taste. Solid Pilsner.

tallcans bought in brampton ontario. nothing wrong with this beer; although i don’t find it to have a strong aroma at all nor a predominant taste. can’t believe someone under me wrote it to be a "dark golden" color, mine is quite light and golden. head that disappears fast but well carbonated and definitely refreshing. would buy again for a summer day.

***review from Sept 24, 2007***

This stuff is great! Poured out a large thick, white cap on top of a crystal clear dark gold brew. Lots of ropy lacing. Plenty of biscuit malts and some softly spiced hops but every deep smell I take I smell armpit sweat....I checked my own armpits and it’s not me! Still worth a 7 though. Great flavour blended well with biscuit malts and some spicy and floral hops. Slightly sweet. Very well put together in the flavour department. Mouthfeel is nice with lots of soft carbonation, comes across nearing medium bodied with a very pleasant bitterness. This is no crappy Canadain pilsner. Good stuff. Thanks Faron for the brew, for letting me reassure him that he is my bitch at pool. Also thanks to Faron for the following: hitting me in the eye with a pepper encrusted gravy bomb, yelling at and abusing our bitch waitress, chasing his keys into traffic, not tearing his pants in half climbing a fence, not getting lost in the ravine near my house, puking all over the spare bedroom while he slept, attempting to wash the pillows and blankets without shaking them off and then missing his wifes best freinds wedding ceremony at the church the next day which caused me to instantly laugh in her face ( I couldn’t help it). Good thing you flew all the way from Ottawa for that one, eh? LOL! Party on, buddy!
