Stella Artois

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Pale Lager
Leuven, Belgium

Magnificent lager! Little to strong for my taste - a headache maker. Can’t imagine to drink this all evening long. But - one opf the best beers out there.

On tap one of the better lagers. The green export bottles however are very bad and watery. Stella Artois anagram, A Realist s Lot...

Draught, available everywhere. Ah, where would we be in the UK without wife-beater? A beer of last resort, to be honest, only to be sampled if faced with Scottish real ales (the ghastly Deuchars, for example) or the usual pissy lagers such as Carlsberg, Carling, etc. Its looks are its strong point - think the colour of piss when you’re dehydrated, with a reasonable white head. After that, it is all downhill. Horrible skunk aroma, little or no hops, metallic after-taste. Avoid if possible.

On tap. Pours a golden color with a white foamy head. Better tasting than US macros, which was my only alternative, but doesn’t compare to micros. Had a sweeter aftertaste than other lagers, which was the one redeeming quality.

on tap - golden beer with white head. Malty sweet aroma. The same for the flavour.

Had today at Buffalos in Coral Springs. Well this doesnt rate well, but it certainly beats the hell out of any American macro and so I choose to drink it when nothing else decent is on tap. Sparkling yellow pour, small white head. Funky aroma of malts. Flavor is unique, but very malty...kinda funky, but almost in a good way. Drinkable.

(Bottle, brewed at Belgium brewery). Sweet grassy aroma. Very light golden color with a substantial fluffy white head. Taste is like a mild pilsener, some maltiness, bread and yeast, but only a faint bitterness. The sweetness is unusual, and pleasing. Better than expected.

Golden pint had lasting head and a nice flavor for it’s type. A bit too light for me, but balanced. Finish is too bitter; a pretty simple beer.
