Pils
Stoudts Brewing Co.

Well made German style Pilsner.
It is missed dearly.

 

 

DL says that although not as good as Prima Pils, it is a nice change off.

 

 

 

 

 

Excellent example of a pilsner. You can tell that they have been making pilsners for awhile: They got it right.

 

Easy to drink; dry; crisp; not as hopped as other pilsners; not very memorable or unique

Poured from the tap into a pint glass at the Khyber Pass in Philly. The appearance is a clear yellow color with a large white head. The aroma is a blend of hops and malt. The taste follows the nose.

 

 

 

This is a very tasty pilsner. It has all the trademarks of a good German Pils, with some nice bitterness and with a malty background that is just enough to provide some extra flavor. Very refreshing and enjoyable.

12 oz bottle from NC.
Pours with a clear, pale golden body that is topped with a reasonably durable white head.
Aroma: Hop forward
Herbal-fruity, hop forward flavor.
Light body and medium+ carbonation; dry.

 

 

 

L: Pours a golden yellow with a nice two fingers white head.

S: Bready, lemon .

T: Follows nose, finishes dry. Real nice.

F: Medium to light body, moderate carbonation. Very crisp.

O: This was well done. Easily one of the best pilsners I have had.

 

 

Pours pale golden yellow but has some foam and leaves lacing: smells of bread and mellow hops. Taste is same. No normally a German pipe fan but, much like Pullman Pils this hits a good balance that doesn't turn me off. Quite tasty and drinkable actually. I haven't been too impressed with the other beers of theirs I've tried, but this is well done.

 

Solid for a pilsner. Zero aroma but maybe my nose palate is fatigued. I'll have to revisit this one.

 

 

 

 

Great look with lots of foam. This is a good example of the style. If I have a nit to pick it is a little abrasive on the back end.

Appearance 4, Aroma 4, Flavor 4, Palate 4, Overall 4

(12 oz bottle, best by rubbed off, but it was Aug 2016... left out 30 min then poured into fluted goblet)

L: polished brass-hued liquid, brilliant clarity... somewhat tight, spongy, off-white foam, sudsy grip of lace... head pours high, takes its time sinking down... keeps a thin blanket of suds atop, and it left a thick Saturn ring of lace after one larger sip

S: lightly-doughy, toasted cereal malt... underbelly quite bready, almost like fresh crumb... delicate floral notes waft up, mild dusting of lemon zest... overall, very potent scent, very inviting

T: initial hit of bread crust, followed by an explosion of green, fabulously leafy-bitter hops - the bitterness rather tannic, invigorating, and lasting long through the aftertaste - this is prime noble hop beauty (reminds me of a cracking English bitter)... essence of lemon, maybe even a touch of grapefruit... not much residual sweetness of note, the hop bitter is at high volume... dry finish, with almost a nougat note

F: again, the finish is nice and dry... not entirely crisp as the carbonation tingles a little up front then rides a soft foamy wave down the back of the palate... perhaps a light film of hop resin left behind... bit of a warm, spicy hum from the hops, plucking at the buds... could be a touch glassier in its viscosity, but otherwise disappearing-dry and moreish

O: haven't had this in a long time but, when fresh, I can't say I've come across a more delectable American version of a German pils... bready, doughy malt with biting, herbal, leafy bitterness - just fantastic!

12oz. bottle poured into a Pilsner glass.

A- A claer golden/straw color with a huge white head, great lacing.

S- fresh malt, and a big whack of grassy/floral hops.

T- a very nice, crisp malt note up front, but man do the grassy/floral hops whack your palette. Wonderful interplay of sweetness from the malt and bitterness from the hops.

M- lighter side of medium, ample carbonation. Crisp, dry finish.

O- Doesn't get much more German than this state side.
