2.03/5 rDev -33.2%
look: 2.5 | smell: 2 | taste: 2 | feel: 2 | overall: 2
A: Pours a clear, straw yellow. Thin white head on top. Minimal lacing saves the look.
S: Grass and a sour funk up front, weak grains in the back.
T: Rather neutral taste; watered down hop flavor, an almost adjunct grain quality, and tartness.
M: Incredibly thin, with far too much carbonation.
O/D: After trying so many enjoyable beers, I sadly ended with this let down. I'm assuming this one is on tap for the BMC fans walking in, asking for a BL. The beer has little flavor and doesn't bring much to the table for craft beer fans. Too many good beers on tap to waste time with this one.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
On-tap 1/17/11 at the brewpub Providence, RI, served in a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a light gold color, thin white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is of light malts, grain and a decent amount of hops.
T: The taste starts out bready with flavors of grain and a light but hearty malt character. There's a decent hops presence and a mild sweetness that creates a good balance. The after-taste is slightly bready.
M: Crisp and smooth, light-to-medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.
D: A little tasty, goes down very easily, not filling at all, very mild kick, good representation of style, this is a nice lighter beer to pound down for a long time.

Had on tap this past week. Golden blonde when served, the aroma was low and bready. Taste comes across a bit more biscuity actually (when I asked about the grains used in this one, one of the employees I saw in the brewery mentioned English malts). Pleasant small carbonation, and I even picked up some spiceyness from the Saaz in the finish. Not bad. This was listed as the Patriots Pilsner during my visit.

Pours straw gold and is quite clear (compared to Trinity's other brews). No head or lace present.
The smell (and later the taste) has a strong grassiness to it. This beer seems to have adjuncts as it tastes thin, yet it is full bodied. Confused? So am I. There are strong flavors that I associate with belgian whites. The greatest one is wheat malt. This beer falls short of the expectations of a pilsner.

Notes from 6/29/04
Glowing clear yellow, very sticky lace, no real head just fuzz. Smells like bananas! Flavor is a big lemon blast with more bananas. This is like a filtered american hefe. Good carbonation tickle, thin body. Crisp, good bitterness. Seems young and semi-disjointed. I am not picking up the advertised saaz in this either. Definitely off-style as this seems like a blend of a pils and a hefe.
Not an unpleasant beer, but not impressive and not as advertised.

Presents a very clear liquid with a creamy lace on the glass. Distinctive hop aroma with a bready malt undertone. The drier bready flavor is paired with a building moderate bitterness and a nice noble hop spice. The finish is crisp and dry, but leaves enough malt on the tongue to invite the next swig.
