## Description

Product Description Brewed on the Mediterranean’s doorstep, Efes Pilsner is Türkiye’s best-known lager—bright, crisp and made for easy enjoyment. This classic pilsener balances gentle malt sweetness with light, floral hop notes for a clean, refreshing finish at 5 Percent ABV. In this 12 x 500ml can format, it’s suitable for gatherings, game nights and casual dinners. Efes is produced by Anadolu Efes, the country’s leading brewer since 1969. The beer is bottom-fermented in the traditional pilsner style and brewed from malted barley with a touch of rice, using Hallertau hops for a subtle, continental bitterness. The result is a familiar, easy-drinking profile that suits a wide range of tastes. Serve it properly to let the freshness sing. Chill the cans to around 6–8 degree C, then pour into a clean pilsner glass to build a bright, lasting head and release the delicate hop aroma. This is a great fridge-ready beer for relaxed occasions and everyday meals. Food-wise, Efes pairs naturally with barbecued meats, burgers and pizza, as well as Mediterranean mezze—think grilled lamb, köfte, halloumi and flatbreads. The crisp carbonation cuts through fat and salt, while the light bitterness keeps each sip refreshing. A name rooted in place, Efes takes its inspiration from the ancient port of Ephesus and today is exported to markets around the world. Along the way, the brand has collected international recognition including a Monde Selection Silver Quality Award for the 50cl bottle in 2023.

Review: Imported Efes lovely jubly - Love the beer. To say its brewed in Turkey compared to the other bottles that are brewed in UK There is a massive difference. If you want the authentic taste from Turkey then these are the ones to go for. Maybe a touch expensive but we'll worth the money. This beer doesn't give you a hang over nor any headaches unlike some beers that I drink like amstel, starproman or even Stella that gives me a lousy hangover even after a few beers.
Review: Beer, glorious beer. - Whats to like? Great flavour, convenient receptacle size, contents are easily accessible, the cans are blue. All in all a very nice Pilsner. Whats not to like? Theres only 12 and none of them refill themselves. .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genuine Efes Pilsner brewed in Turkey
*by J***K on 15 April 2018*

Although I'm more of a Real Ale drinker than a fan of lager I have got a bit of a liking for this Efes Pilsner which I enjoy drinking regularly at my local Turkish restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this beer is now available from Amazon in a reasonably-priced twelve pack – at the current price each 500ml can works out at about one pound seventy-five apiece – certainly a lot cheaper than restaurant prices! This is the proper 5 % alcohol-by-volume Efes that is brewed in Turkey and it is the most consumed Mediterranean beer in the world. If you want a taste of your holiday in Turkey or just want a decent cold beer on a hot day in England then this Bohemian-style Pilsner from Efes is well worth considering. Five stars for taste and value at the current price.
