2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: JUL 13, 2011 Gold, white head out of central casting. Sweet malt and mild noble hops. Bland malt sweetness and decent balancing bitterness. Perfectly acceptable but without any particular charm. [2.7]
Don’t think I’m harder on this sort of thing than I used to be, but just seems slightly worse every time. Malts seem increasingly cheap. Still has a lovely head.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
330ml green bottle
Pours a gold color, with about a one inch foam head.
I find this beer to be very smooth, it goes down very easy. I’ve had this beer a few times, and have always enjoyed it. I was a bit hesitant with this one because of the green bottle, but it came in a set with a pretty cool glass.
I find this to be a great beer on a hot summer day.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
330ml bottle. Poured a pale light amber colour with a modest thin white head. Clear, clean and thin looking with an aroma of malt and hops that is quite bland and basic. Tastes a little better than it looks and smells, not much though. Sudsy taste that leaves a bitter aftertaste . Not as premium as it is advertised to be.
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Slight aroma. Pours a clear golden colour. Thin white head when served in a lager glass that does not last long. Moderately carbonated. Has a bitter taste. Not a bad beer for one so readily available.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
Like Corona and Heineken, the palate is dominated by bitterness and not much else. The funny thing is that I can tolerate this beer on some occasions, but if my palate has gotten some exercise (for example with wine or good beer) Stella comes of quite bitter and unenjoyable.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Served from a 22 oz bottle while on travel in Port Hueneme. Pours a nice clear medium gold. The aromas and flavors are crisp pilsner malts, and grape flavors. A decent beer.
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
I bought this because I like green bottles. It’s good for pale lager, and I enjoy the clean crisp taste that has a bit of hops. High carbonation. A guy I know that’s more of an expert refered to it as the "Keystone Light" of Belgiun beers. I don’t think it’s that bad. I could drink a case of these.
2.2 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: JAN 23, 2010 11.2 oz bottle. Strong skunk odor, hay. Pours golden with minimal head, nice lacing, small bubbles. Taste is kind of sweet. Medium-bodied. Finishes with a slight bitterness. I used to think Belgium could do no wrong in the brewing world. Then I came across this beer.
