199. Stoudts Pils


Another dinner, another opportunity to crack open a beer to compliment my food.  The beer was poured into a pilsner glass.  3 plus fingers of white frothy head paired with a hazy golden color.  Nice looking beer.  Solid retention with the head, it leaves a lot of sticky goodness on the interior.  Aromas are muted and simplistic.  Floral hops paired with some grassy notes and crackers.

The taste isn't what I'm expecting.  Has a sourdough bread type of taste blended with some peppery notes from the carbonation, some faint citrus (lemon) notes, and butter.  The buttery taste gives it a slick mouthfeel, to go with a moderate body and moderate carbonation.

I have to admit, the taste was something I had to get used to.  Wasn't expecting the sourdough bread to come through as it did.  Still, I found the beer to be easy to drink.  I don't know how representative this beer is of the style, but it was a solid brew and I'd drink it again.  Agree or disagree?  Just let me know!

Grade: B-
Price Paid: $2.50 (12 oz bottle)
