Stella Artois

Bottle pour, thin white head, very clear, light golden yellow color. Slightly skunky, a bitterness that is not strong, but hangs around. Aromas and flavors are a little sweet, with some light malt and bitter hops accents. A slight aftertaste, that is strangely refreshing. I have always liked this brew....something a little different than Heineken when I’m out at the bar....I really like it on draft.

pretty dull in taste and aroma. Not much there to be honest, You only get a small hint of hop.

Yellow colour with small, disappearing white head. Not much aroma and even less taste. When I say that it had no taste I really mean it. Most tasteless beers (such as the big American names) have a little taste, which is usually offensive. This has less taste but it is not so offensive. A small hint of hops in the mouth and nose is all you get here. So it doesn’t actually taste bad it just doesn’t taste of much at all. I won’t recommend it but it is cheap and better than most international pale lagers.

Nothing truly special -- in the same league as Coors light & Budweiser.

I think everyone finally realized that Stella is just a Belgian silver bullet. It has all the same qualities of an American Light.

Bottle. Pale coluor, skunky aroma. Grassy hops in taste. Standard euro lager

Pretty bad, cheap-tasting lager. In my opinion, Stella Artois is about on par with most American macro lagers. There’s very little to recommend it. The color is a pale, drab yellow. The small white head dissipates very quickly. There’s little aroma, except for a muted cheap malt note, overly sweet and more reminiscent of corn than barley, although I don’t believe that adjuncts are used. The flavor is similarly dominated by a cheap, overly sweet malt flavor. There are some hops in there, I guess. The beer is not entirely without crispness when cold. Still, the feel is rather thin, even for a lager probably based on a pilsner style. Overall, I’m not a fan of Stella. The flavor is unclean, which is a pretty big problem for me in a light lager.

Sour metallic vinegar veneer quickly gives way to boisterously cloying finish which remains acidic but with an off-putting syrupy sweetness reminiscent of over-fermented apples. Strong sour chemical sensation throughout, including morning after. The headiness of the alcohol is apparent from the first taste which isn’t a good sign. Actually it tastes even more alcoholic than it is. Not a very enjoyable drink- Aggressively marketed; Expensive, and not reassuringly so.
