44 cL can - triple filtered - funny name - thrice avoiding what would come from Belgium..? I would rather go with a triple fermentation. Pours clear and pale yellow with a huge white head, shirt lived head. Aroma is mild metallic and light cornish. Flat cornish and light roasted malty flavoured. Reminds me a bit about the Flensburger 4 and Becks Vier. Kicking a beer into place for a 4% alcohol mark - why?

2 cans while walking home from work. Alround rating: Thin ceareal extract malt, peoppery skunkyness, the hops are infact there, but its not my scene. Better than the newlym altered tax saving inbuv 5% stella anyway.

Tap at some faux Irish pub in Ottawa. Pale golden pour with no real head at all. The nose is lightly grainy with a touch of light corn. Very, very thin bodied with almost nothing at all going on. Why does this beer exist?

Canned. A golden coloured lager going on orange with no head. The aroma is of sweet malt and a bit of vomit. The taste is similar and the texture is greasy. Industrially industrial.

Can. As Stella 4% in UK. Light gold with no head. Aromas are grain and corn with hints of metal. Some muddled citrus. Flavours are sweet corn with citrus notes. Dry grain with prickly hops. More sour notes on the finish. Lower strength "wife beater".

440ml can. Drank cool, not chilled. Rough off flavours. I find the standard Stella an acceptable pale lager - but this 4% version with corn is not good. Few hops, thin and without much positive flavour. What flavour there is tends toward rubber, stewed corn, stale beer and tin.

Appearance: pale bright gold with large bleach white snowy large cap , light fragmental lace shown.4 -
Nose: Sweet malty front with thinner mineral grassy feel , leafy metallic finish. Slight hint of fry alcohol. 4+
Flavor/Palate : Very thin bodied. Malt felt as raw, grainy, vegetable like. Slight hint of hop on top. Mineral with more of metallic at side end. Light does not have to be wash off any character and flavor. Reminded me of non or low alcoholic lagers.
