Beer reviews from a guy who's new to beer but quickly growing an appreciation for the brew. This is my quest to try as many different beers as I can, and to describe my experience with each and every one. Cheers!

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!
