Stella Artois

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Pale Lager
Leuven, Belgium

Considering that this beer is 20 euro cents per 25cl bottle you can’t expect too much of the flavour and Stella pretty much delivers on those expectations. However in my opinion it is refreshing and significantly better than many of its other rivals.

Transparent with a pale golden yellow color. Smells pasteurized and almost skunky. Crisp and light in flavor. Not as boring as say a Bud Light but not as refreshing either. It does have surprisingly good lacing as other reviewers have pointed out. Probably the worst Belgian beer I’ve ever had. In my opinion, it’s not worth drinking.

Pours a straw color body and a white head with legs. Smells clean and skunky. Flavor is crisp, malt, and some skunk.

330 ml bottle. Finland. Pale golden colour with thin white head. Slightly hoppy and malty aroma. Malty flavour with touch of hoppiness. Not bad for a Pale Lager.

Pours a golden yellow color with a two inch white head. The smell is very skunky and a little hoppy. Taste of yeast, a bunch of carbonation, and a suprising finish. One of the better pale lagers I’ve had.

Very Clear pale straw pour with a white quick settling head. Somewhat cheesy nose very little floral (rose) and some corn. Clean dry feel with some tingle left on the tongue. Taste is bitter with a sweet finish.

The beer’s nickname is WifeBeater... enough said. It’s on tap everywhere, always tastes the same... filtered and pasteurized, pours perfectly clear and yellow. High carbonation, no lacing, skunky aroma and taste.

Ah Stella. I’ve got a bottle of the stuff in one hand and a Ricard and water in the other. Brings back sweet memories of the Loire; the heat, the storms, the flies and the slow decent into a semi-psychotic state. I’m drinking this on an empty stomach to so Rock ’n’ Roll!. A friend at work describe Stella as like drinking petrol. That’s a bit harsh. I like it’s grain-edge and its, "I’m about to pass out", body. Long live Stella.
