savnac (394), Palmer, Alaska, USA Nov 3, 2009 12 oz bottle. Clear light brown/amber with a foamy off white head. Spicy hop aroma with some caramel and an earthy quality. Big bready malt flavor with a decent amount of bitterness. Medium body with active carbonation and a smooth finish. rampmaster (314), Alden, New York, USA Nov 2, 2009 Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a big dimpled mug. There is no noticeable freshness date on the bottle.
Appearance: It has a deep rich golden body with visible carbonation and good clarity. A two finger thick and foamy white head sits on top. It slowly fades to a thin layer that hangs on well and some slick lacing.
Smell: The aroma is light and has a delicate light grain note with a slight hint of spicy hops.
Taste/Palate: It has a crisp pale biscuity malt with some light roasted notes as well. There is a mild sweetness from the malt and a nice equal balance of bitterness and leafy/grassy/spicy hop flavor notes. It finishes crisply with a slight balance towards the bitter hop side. The palate has a medium body with plenty of active carbonation.
Notes: Stoudts has an extremely drinkable crisp body and nice simple flavor that I could drink plenty of with some soft sour dough pretzels and mustard.

PilsnerPeter (2585), Flushing, New York, USA Oct 9, 2009 Tap at Sunswick: Clear golden pour with a fading white head. Clean doughy aroma- light sweet Munich pale malt notes. Has a crisp light body with a dryish bready Munich pils & carapils base- a touch biscuity and grainy with a mildly bitter back. Simple- but clean and sessionable.
