Stella Artois

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Pale Lager
Leuven, Belgium

Very smooth and refreshing. On the down side I find this beer to very filling.

Ugh, how plain. Macro beer in a green bottle - a poseur. No better on tap, except that it’s easier to avoid being light-struck. Large, thin head that disappears rapidly, leaving the clear straw-colored beer in the glass. Generic armoas and flavors of light malt, weak hops, and a hint of yeast (if you manage to get some that isn’t skunky). The palate is the same as Coke’s. Don’t buy it. Please.

Bottle, Victory Serices Club, London. Comes with dinner. Yellow, surprisingly flavourful. Not unpleasant. I managed to not drink this ubiquitous beer during a month stay in Belgium. How ironic to be saddled with it in London thanks to the global reach of InBev. Not a style of beer I have much time for. At least it is unobjectionable.

pale clear yellow with a decent white head. aroma is of mild malts and dough. Taste has a little yeasty kick to it and finishes smooth. Extremely drinkable.

This clear yellow beer poured with a very thin white head. There’s not much flavor, but it is a crisp easy to drink beer.

Poured Pal yellow with a slightly fruity hop aroma. Smooth with more flavor than most of the macro brews. Finished crisp with no bitterness.

On tap, black angus. Havn’t had this in a long time, so I figured what the hell. Actually quite good. The color is a mild yellow, very nice white head with a lace that went all the way down. Very clean flavor, easy to drink, finished the first one in a matter of minutes. No strong aftertaste, much better than any of the budmillercoors offerings. Very nice.

Purchased 6 pack of 12 oz bottles at Schmidt’s Exxon in Tysons Corner. Pours a pale yellow, with a slight greenish tone with a very large, loosely packed head. The head recedes quickly though. Aroma is belgian yeast, which is a little strange for a lager. My nose also detects coriander, crisp european hops and a tad of clove. Taste is a thinner than what the aroma suggests, very much like most lagers. Though it is clean and crisp and doesn’t suffer from cheap ingredients, adjuncts and the like, that its American cousins do. The style percentage of 88.8 says its all. This is a good lager.
