Stella Artois

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Pale Lager
Leuven, Belgium

Extremely overrated, though nowhere near repulsive. Points deducted because it’s a ripoff in Australia, and it’s fucking brewed here! sneaky bastards... Quite a bit of flavour for a lager, smells decent, would’nt go nuts for it. Buy it if it’s on special, otherwise spend your $55 on something truly worth it.

Clear yellow with a thick foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is sweet malt and herbal hops. Flavor is also sweet malt, a little too sweet for my liking of the style and herbal hops.

Pours from the tap a very clear, golden color with a fizzy, small head that leaves low lacing. Aroma is heavy of pils malt that leads to a very grainy note with light Noble hop aroma. Flavor is very grainy with a light honey sweetness in there, some mineral notes present as well. The flavor is crisp and clean. Overall a LOT better from the tap if you can find it, no skunky flavor and the pils and light hop spice really play well together.

My favorite swill. Pretty neutral aroma and, for that matter, flavor.. but it goes down smooth with no fuss. Not nearly as skunky as most also-ran American lagers.

Typical european green bottle pilsener. skunky hops and light sweet malt. Flavor is much the same.

Fine pils, refreshing, well-balanced, with a rich, chewy aftertaste with no bitterness. Hints of sweetness and cereals.

decent pale lager... usually the best thing on tap at your average club/bar. head is large and white also has nice aroma. I’ll take it over your average economy beer in a pinch.

Geez. Another Pale Lager out there. It might get more credence because it is technically Belgian, but it is very similar to other pale lagers. Still some malt and adjuncts. Nothing noteworthy about it overall.
