3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bright gold appearance with a medium size white head and good lacing. Subdued, grainy, sweet malt aroma. Sweet malts dominate the taste with some herbal and floral hops adding balance. A light vegetal touch intruded on the palate but not enough to be an issue. Light-to-medium bodied mouthfeel and a short lived finish.

Part of a Stoudt’s variety pack. It poured a crystal clear yellow with a tall foamy white head. There was a nice amount of carbonation bubbles rising up in the glass for a long time. There was a nice clean aroma, somewhat earthy with grass and a light citrus hops scent. The taste was crisp and clean with a nice bite from the hops that lingered for awhile and mellowed towards the finish. For the Helles style this was true to the style and enjoyable to drink.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap @ Judges Bench Ellicott City Md-Clear golden pour w/a slight white head. Has a pretty good hop bite, a little grain/grass/hay, maybe a little banana...All in all a pretty unremarkable brew. Not bad, just bland average. You can drink it, but I wouldn’t seek it out. Short hop finish.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tap @ Monster B’s. Piss yellow body with no head. Clean texture with a dull macro flavor. Nice grassy aftertaste though. Pretty boring, don’t waste your $$$
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Situation: First day of school--step one of 180...
Glassware: Samuel Smith lager glass...
Appearance: Foamy, frothy resistant white head; straw gold color with a thick bath of effervescent bubble, slow and steady...
Aroma: Sharp bitter pilsner malts release a bouquet of fragrant floral notes--fresh and robust...
Palate: solid, even, medium-bodied but engaging the mouth with strength; drinkable...
Taste: crisp malt balanced by enough hops to keep all parts of the mouth appreciative; solidly in line with the style....
Overall: Stoudt’s does lagering right, and Lew Bryson is right to celebrate this offering, with its spring/fall versatility and its by-the-six pack drainability...
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Mild grain aroma. Hazy golden color with a small white head. Moderately balanced sweet beginning with a light dry and tart finish.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a golden body with a white head. Nice floral herbal hops, a bit sweet with some bread y grain y notes. Thin and simple. Nice brew.
