Stella Artois

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Pale Lager
Leuven, Belgium

Eh.......not too impressed with this one...maybe even more so after InBev brought AB.....always thought it was kinda skunky....taste was ok...nothing special.....I’d drink it again....but would not go to the store and pick up a 6-pack....had better...had worse

Had this out of a bottle at a restaurant. Hadn’t had one in years, and looked forward to trying it again. Didn’t get a chance to pour it into a glass, so this review may not mean much. Smelled like a lot of other pilsners, nothing special, maybe a bit more hoppy that others. Had a crisp, bitter mouthfeel, and about the same in the finish. Wasn’t a bad beer, just nothing to write home about, particular for a ’’premium’’ beer.

Bottle from the LCBO Much better than i would have expected but still a week pale lager. Good on a hot day ice cold

A very nice beer. It is bitter and crisp and you can taste that it is quite strong. However - for some reason it is the only beer of which I can only drink 2-3 bottles until heart burn kicks in.

On tap at La Rez in Chapel Hill. Official Stella glass. Pours a pale yellow with high, champagne-like carbonation and a large, white head. Okay lacing. Nose is fresh grass, slight hops, grain. Watery body with a sour, metallic endnote. Aftertaste is dry. There is one overall taste and that is fresh straw. Pretty much the most expensive bad beer you can buy.

On tap at Cheese Cake Factory in Birmingham AL. Pours pale yellow with plenty of carbonation and a light head. Minimal inoffensive grainy aroma. The flavor is pale lager…What can you do. Grain present in liquid form, though this one has more of a noticeable hop presence (earth and spice). Light watery body with a semi-dry finish. It’s fine for what it is.

16 oz draft poured straw color with a huge head. Grassy aroma and bitterness. A bit of body but not much.

On tap. Looks nice in the glass, with a foamy head, and some lacing on the glass. Otherwise, a grassy, sour, and unpleasent bitter beer, with little else to recommend. Overly carbonated to boot. I found little to recommend here, and quite frankly, have touble understanding the worldwide popularity with so many better light lagers out there.
