Stella Artois 4% / Légère

Brewed by Samlesbury (InBev UK - InBev)
Style: Pale Lager
Preston, England

I really enjoyed this beer and its fruity taste and aroma. It is perfect in accompanying any light meal, such as lunch or afternoon fruit and cheese. Really delicious and the bottle design is extravagant. really enjoy the lack of a body label and the presence of the rippled lettering. Feels great and tastes even better. Life Legere.

Can. Golden with a medium head.Slightly dry and reasonably refreshing but nothing else. Will appeal to those who thing regular Stella is a classy beer. Enough said!

You can’t go into this beer expecting something spectacular. It’s pure marketing but it is brilliantly executed. The aroma is perfect for reaching out to a wider audience that wants something a notch above their everyday beer. It is Stella+Any Canadian macro-skunk. The appearance is nearly rubbish, where is the glorious head? The flavor is a corned up watered down stella artois almost perfectly. Mouth feel is terrible but could be worse by being fizzier. Overall the beer should get a 2.5 from me, but I can’t drop my overall impression and all the other grades are exactly how I see the beer.

En fût. Verre de 12 oz dégusté chez Rôtisserie St-Hubert (Saint-Hyacinthe, QC). Arôme: Légère odeur de fruité et de maïs. Apparence: La couleur est blonde avec une faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un moyen col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Léger goût de céréales et d’houblons avec une pointe fruitée. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement aqueuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Arrière goût légèrement fruité. (Rating #2733)

Can. Pale golden beer with a strong head. The aroma is yeasty and dry, and the flavour is very dry and lightly bitter. Overall an average lager.

Draught. Pours pale yellow with minimal white head. Definitely a less developed (watery) version of the original Stella. Mild grassy hop notes, tastes of watery hops and malts with a hint of corn. Better than other mass produced light beers, but doesn’t compare to a full bodied Stella.

330mL bottle from the LCBO (single, because I wouldn’t ever actually buy a whole six pack of something like this). I bought this partly because I’m a ratings whore, but also because I enjoy downing incredibly mediocre beer really, really, really fast. Pours a remarkably un-lively pale gold, almost no effervescence with a large white head. Aroma is actually pretty damn good considering it’s a macro, in a green bottle. Nicely hoppy with very minimal skunk, though no real sign of legitimate malts shows up. Flavour is, well, what you’d expect from something so ’Légère’, not a whole lot going on. Surprisingly fizzy considering the lack of visual carbonation. Insanely mild malts with a decent hoppy sharp bite in the finish, followed by waves, and WAVES of fizzy complexities. Note: The term ’complexity’ used here is used in an entirely sarcastic manner. Anyways, this is actually not all that bad. If I had a gun held to my head and forced only to drink crappy ’lite’ beer, this would be my choice.

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.
