Stella Artois

On tap at scooters in portland. Pours a clear yellow with a small white head that looks creamy. Aroma of yeast and slight hops. Slightly carbonated with a nice, smooth finish. Nice beer to take it easy with when everyone else is drinking mixed drinks.

On tap at Applebee’s. Pours clear gold with a big white head. Aroma of lager yeast, some hop and malt. Very carbonated with a hop finish.

Still a nice smooth beer but not quite what you’d expect given the supposed reputation on this side of the pond (Canada). The beer has a fairly sturdy taste but is really light. The finish is really nice and there’s no bad aftertaste so it does do all the ’regular’ beers one better because you don’t have to cover up the bad aftertaste with another sip. (hic, haha). Smooth and light with just enought hops to taste good but not enought for there to really be a flavour or a theme going on.

From 330ml bottle. Aroma is sour and cheap. Very light blonde colour. Flavor is bitter a little hoppy and very sour in the finish. Its not bad. But its not that good either.

Clean, low metal taste, very neutral. Low aftertaste. All around pleasant and unobtrusive, however those are not qualities I enjoy in beer. A nice beer for what it is.

Draft at Buffalo Wild Wings in Macomb, Il. Served in shaker pint. Pours bright golden yellow, clear, thin white head. Malt aroma, adjuncts. Excellent lacing. Light sweet malt taste with an earthy pang. No better than Budweiser. I don’t get what all the fuss is about.

can. Poured clear gold with diminishing white head. Hoppy floral aroma(sometimes skunky). Medium mouthfeel, bitter-sweet. Lasting alcohol bitter finish. Tastes like a pilsner but not as bitter. Easy to drink but nothing special.

This is the Budweiser of Belgian beers. Nice golden color. It’s a good beer but not a great beer. It’s an average lager that is dependable and a couple of notches above bud. Smooth with a little skunk bitterness on taste which is what you get with average lagers.
