Stoudts Pils

Brewed by Stoudts Brewing Co.
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Adamstown, Pennsylvania USA

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

12oz bottle - pours with a thick white head that lasts. Clear light golden color. Faint, citrusy nose. Very crisp and thist-quenching, goes down very well. Nice finish. Does not have that great Saaz zip that I like so much in a North German Pils, but this is a very good, almost great beer.

12oz. bottle - pours very pale, crystal clear golden yellow. Vibrant white head on top. Huuuuge Saaz hop aroma, delicate malt background. Flavour is equally hoppy, with a dry and long bitter finish, but with enough of a sweet malt presence in the middle to keep this in Pils territory. Nice grassy/earthy notes off the top. Beautiful, refreshing stuff - extremely drinkable. A very assertive and satisfying example of the style. Easily the most hop forward lager/pilsener I’ve encountered.

12oz, no date from Hollingshead Deli. Pours a crystal clear bright pale golden with a 1/2 finger fading white head. Floral grassy hop aroma with some grain and biscuits. I think I also got a bit of almonds. Flavor has a fair amount of grassy florally bitterness with some sweet biscuity malts balancing it out. There is a bit of almond sweetness as well, but in the semidry finish the hops bring forth a slight bitterness again. Lively moderate carbonation on the tongue with a light to medium body. Good rendition of a pilsener.

I’ve been tryin a few plseners lately, but this is not one I will try agian. Tastes of sour flowers, wood, musk, mixed in with what you would describe as the classic Pilsener taste. Very dissapointing.

Bottle via trade with The_Epeeist, thanks! Pours golden with a decent sized pillowy white head. Aroma is pale malts, toast, slight floral hops. Flavor is about the same. Palate is light bodied, crisp, refreshing, bitter and dry finish. Decent.

Jacksonville, Fl. - Total Wine - 12 oz bottle. Medium golden pour, tight white head. Fresh lake water aroma, some grains. Crisp, refreshing flavor, some grassy notes and a hint of bittering citrus in the back end. Very dry mouthfeel. Overall decent, and thirst quenching.

Draft. I thought this would be a good experience but it was not. Nose of smelly adjuncts, diacetyl butter notes, light corn and grains, the hops were invisible in this one, not noticed at all. Silky, oily palate, tasted and looked cheap. Really a disappointment.

’Tis has a cloudy sort of pale. There is not too much on the head (or maybe I just didn’t pour it right). The body was indeed quite light but the taste was at the same time quite full of delicous hops and a nice bitter touch to it lasting to the finish.
