Not very impressive. I was actually almost disappointed, I was expecting a whole lot more. Along with delbomber I feel that a fresher specimen would probably be better.

’Old’ and Stoudt’s may soon become synonomous, as I, like Venom, was unable to find a fresh bottle. Its aroma is wonderfully enticing--slightly hoppy, but mostly reminiscent of tea. Not very ’gold,’ I found the taste couldn’t stand up to the aroma, and was rather watery while possessing an ale-like hoppiness. Smooth and yeasty, I’m betting a fresh sample would be better.

Munich Helles is more accurate but anyway, this brew would have been guessed an ale if blind tasted. My sample was old but I’ll rate it none-the-less since it’s the only one I’ve got. Very thick and fruity for a lager with a nice malt backdrop and subtle but evident earthy hoppiness. Nice brew, love to try fresh and/or on tap.

Not anything special, just a basic lager.
