Pumped to see Trillium put out more styles at sessionable ABVs. Gorgeous beer - sparkling clarity, honey hue with a puffy white head.
Hard to distinguish the Alphra, Bravo and Charlie unless you do a side-by-side. For my tastes each brings a biscuity, breath and grassy profile with the latter category being he differentiator.
Charlie gave me a grassy kick to the mouth. Overpowering.
Crisp and eminently drinkable. Slightly watery on the backend. Doesn’t have that Czech or German malty kiss. Cheers!

Growler from the source.
Pours sparkling clear yellow with a minimal head or retention and barely a trace of lacing. Proofing dough and a hint of toasted corn in the nose. A bit grassy. On the light side of medium bodied with a somewhat limp, watery mouthfeel. Plump malt on the palate with a crisp, almost minerally dryness. Finishes with a firm bitterness and a hint of honey.
Easy drinker but low carbonation and a limp body are a weakness.

On tap at Trillium Brewing in Canton, MA.
This one pours a light straw gold color, with small head, and lots of lacing.
This has a nice crisp hop bite on the nose, with a lot of herbal tones and a bit of sweetness.
This is probably the sweetest of the three pilsners, but it's still very crisp and very clean. It's got a really great balance between herbal and bitter hops and rich malt.
This is clean and super drinkable, with no discernible flaws that I can find.
I can really dig this series. Even though this is probably the 3rd best of the 3 new pilsners, it's really well crafted.
