Squatters Provo Girl Pilsner

Brewed by Salt Lake Brewing Company / Squatters Pub
Style: Pilsener
Salt Lake City, Utah USA

From a 12 oz. twist-off bottle, no freshness date, nice looking label, a short blurb along the left of label, sampled at a cellar temperature in a pilsener glass. Poured a clear, bright yellowish golden with a nice sized foamy white head, settled into a thin, slighty creamy, sudsy lacing. A faint nose, sweet malts and little grainy, a subtle fruitiness and a light scent of herbs. Good steady carbonation and a crisp, dry, firm, smooth light bodied mouthfeel. Tastes of dry, lightly grainy, biscuity malts, a subtle honey lemony fruitiness, a mellow herbal bitterness from the hops, and a dry salty, grainy finish with a softly lingering spiciness in the palate. Nicely smooth drinking pilsener, not available in my area, if it was, I would be a steady buyer of this.

Pours a nice golden yellow. Aromas of malts, hops. Crisp hop bitterness and dry finish.

Bottle thanks to douglass88. Sweet floral aroma with slight lemon grass, citrus, and a sharp tangy zing, slight funk and must (just a little stale tire air). Pale yellow pour with a staunch white head. Citric taste is very bready, and therefore rather chewy despite the lightish body. Dash of mineral water that’s fine in the drink but lingers somewhat off-puttingly. Very light bitterness, little malt and virtually no sweetness; quenching and very drinkable. Absolutely no alcohol evident. A spritzy, fun pils.

Thanks Sonnie, bottle: Pour is pale golden with a very thin dissipating white head. Aroma is light honey, grains, a bit grassy. Flavor is very crisp, lightly hopped, grassy, and even a tad salty. It was OK.

Rating: 2.9/5.0
Drinkability: 7/10
Score: *4

A honeyed lager that did not quite have the hop character I had hoped for. This was a little too malt driven for a pilsner, but not a bad quaff.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with hellbilly (thanks!). Poured a lighter and hazy yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grains, grass, and corn. Tastes of grass, grain, and lightly spicey. Thinner body.

Draught > SLC, UT airport. Little dry. Not to spicy. Easy drinker but it should be at 4%. Not bad.
