Stoudt's Pils

Reviewed By: Rick S.
Style: German Pilsner
State/Country: Pennsylvania
ABV: 5.4%
Serving Type: 12 oz. Bottle

Look: 9
Pale golden color, clear.  Thick white head with good retention and very nice lacing

Smell: 8.5
Floral hops, grass, and a touch of lemon and sweet malt

Taste: 8
Hops dominate the flavor profile, but there is just enough sweetness to balance it, somewhat.  Long hoppy finish.  Floral and Spicy.

Mouthfeel: 8.5
Light-medium body with medium-high carbonation.

Drinkability: 8.5
Very crisp and refreshing

Overall Score: 8.5

Value:
9
Cost/12 oz serving: $1.78

Overall Impression:
Very true to the style.  Assertive hops from beginning to end.  Stoudt's definitely knows how to produce authentic German lagers!  I would have to say that this is my second favorite German Pilsner.  It's a great beer, and with the NFL season fast approaching, this would be an excellent choice to go with wings and nachos!
