Efes Pilsener je najpoznatije tursko pivo i svojevrsni nacionalni simbol.
Ime nosi po drevnom gradu Ephesus (turski Efes), jednom od najvažnijih gradova antičkog svijeta. Efez je bio veliko grčko, a kasnije rimsko trgovačko i kulturno središte te dom veličanstvenog Temple of Artemis, jednog od sedam svjetskih čuda antičkog svijeta. Danas su njegovi ostaci među najposjećenijim arheološkim lokalitetima u Turskoj.
Efes Pilsener je poput turske obale – jednostavan, sunčan i opušten. Možda neće osvojiti pivske znalce, ali uz dobar kebab, ribu ili zalazak sunca na Egejskom moru teško ćeš poželjeti nešto drugo.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Clear golden, mid sized head. Syrupy aroma. Sweet with medium body and rounded, un-firm mouthfeel. Syrupy grain and slight alcohol. A sloppy industrial strong lager.

A World Cup Of Beers#9. TURKEY. An international brew with the football and a lightly carbonated golden lager, which could actually do with a bit more activity as it's quite dull in most characteristics. Some maltiness, light bitterness, eminently missable and I wouldn't recommend going cold Turkey in this instance. I first had this about 25 years ago in a Turkish restaurant in Dalston when living in London. Drank whilst watching the first second game for sides in the tournament - Czech Republic vs South Africa.

Golden colour, not much head. Sweet honeyish aroma. Medium-bodied. Sweetish honeyish flavour, alcohol, low bitterness. Malt liquer stuff! From Turkey.

A crystalline straw-coloured beer with a fine white head. A herbal aroma, light maltiness, perhaps a touch of skunk, but overall pleasant. The taste is malty with lemon notes. After a few sips, the herbal flavour becomes more pronounced, and the bitterness becomes slightly noticeable. Full-bodied, medium carbonation, velvety smooth, with a barely perceptible herbal bitterness. OK.
