Beer Tasting: Stoudt's Blonde Double Mai Bock
This is a maibock style lager from Stoudt's in Adamstown, PA. This 12 ounce bottle was generously donated by our friend Dennis, who fortunately lives just a couple of miles from the brewpub. The bottles were stamped with a freshness date of 7/16/06.
Have you tasted this beer? Let us know what you think. As a suggestion, try to keep the review as brief as possible for each of the following: appearance; smell; taste; mouthfeel; and drinkability.
Appearance
Adam: orange straw
Bryan: very clear, pale, golden color; large inconsistent head; fades slowly
Smell
Adam: typical ale yeast & some hops
Bryan: faint lager aroma
Taste
Adam: sweet tang fading to a bitter
Bryan: very clean; typical lager flavor; nothing special; just a touch of bitterness
Mouthfeel
Adam: well carbonated
Bryan: mildly carbonated; just thick enough to take notice
Drinkability
Adam: something slowing me down...not sure what it is
Bryan: served colder (in the mid-40s) is better; I'm not quite sure what "double "means in this brew
Seconds?
Adam: maybe
Bryan: I could do one more, but that's it; unfortunately, it's not as memorable as the times I've had it on draft
