Provo Girl Pilsner
Thanks goes out to Wasatch for the hookup on this and many other Utah beers. Cheers, sir! A - Poured into a Trumer Pils glass. Wonderful light golden color with excellent clarity. The thin white head seems to be composed of a variety of bubble sizes and is holding up nicely. Lacing sticking to the glass as the head retreats. S - Very prominent pilsner malt/grainy nose. Floral hop character also present at an appropriate intensity for the style. T - Crisp and flavorful, this is one hell of a Pilsner for such a modest ABV. Bitterness is firm and at a moderate level. Lingers on after the swallow into a dry, clean finish. The pilsner malt character is readily apparent and well-matched with the floral hop flavor. Though the tastes in a pilsner can be somewhat simple, this is extraordinarily well-balanced and flavorful M - A medium-light bodied with a moderately high level of carbonation. Not quite effervescent but the carbonation feels appropriate and in great balance. D - At a modest 4% ABV but packing more balance and character than beers twice as strong, this is certainly a drinkable beer. Though my trade only included one, I'm wishing I had an entire 6 pack. Excellent job by the folks at Squatters!
