At Creemore Springs, we’re all about keeping things simple. Twenty years ago, we made the decision to make one beer really well, and that’s what we’ve been doing ever since. But we do get bored from time to time. Every 10 years or so, we seem to get an itch to try something new.
This year, we’re celebrating another milestone our 20th anniversary. Our brew master Gord Fuller and the brewers have been experimenting once again and have created something special, Creemore Springs Traditional Pilsner. It is their interpretation of a classic Czech Pilsner.
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 hop.
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. Our very own spring water creates a soft pure background on which Czech hops impart a fresh fragrant aroma and bitter finish.

[1] Review by cyrenaica from Milton, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (3/12/2008 2:48:46 PM)
"473ml can
5.3% ABV
I tried this beer on March 12, 2008 after purchasing from one of the local LCBO outlets. The poured a translucent gold colour with a generous head that quickly disippates. The aroma was very malty with some slight hoppish hints. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was very grainy, with very little bitterness."

"Bah this beer sucks. Being a fan of the 2 other Creemore brews, I was really looking forward to this, but this sure as fuck ain't no goddamn Pilsner! Oh it is a lager, one of those crappy sweet lagers I detest. Uggh, FAIL!!"

"Creemore Springs Premium Lager is well-spoken of in Southern Ontario, although I find nothing spectacular about it. It's a clear copper coloured beer with a generous head. The aroma is grainy with a touch of hops. The flavour is slightly malty with a bitter finish. I think the beer is over-rated myself. Not bad, but not great. "

[4] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (11/13/2007 3:38:46 PM)
"Can: Poured a golden yellow color pils with a nice foamy head with average retention and some minimal lacing. Aroma of medium sweet malt with some nice floral notes provided by the hops. Taste is also dominated by some notes of sweet malt with some nice hoppy floral notes. Very refreshing overall while respecting the style guideline."

[5] Review by beercronic from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada who has tried this beer once. (9/24/2007 11:01:32 PM)
"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!"
