Stella Artois

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Pale Lager
Leuven, Belgium

Pours a pale yellow with white head. Smells of bitter malt, and is a bit skunky. The skunkiness goes away as the head falls, replaced by the bitterness. Tastes very bitter at the begining, then evening out. Decent balance. Medium body with mild carbonation. A decent beer.

Bottle, 330 ml. Golden colour, head is not too big but has a good retention and lace. Nose is grain and herbs, not too much mention here. Light body, taste is clean, again grain, herbs and some unexpected sweetness. Very refreshing. I’ve tried this one many times, on tap too. Maybe Interbrew is doing a more massmarket beer of it, but it’s still good, maybe without the whole character it use to had years ago, but enjoyable yet.

Pour golden yellow, large head that the beer is characterized by. Kind of skunky, but fairly bland. Better than American macro brews, but at $8 a six-pack, why wouldn’t you buy something better for the same price?

I don’t understand why they are pushing this beer on the US market... all the bottles I’ve tried over here are skunky. And I’ve had quite a few.

Great beer. I really enjoy the crispness of the beer. Golden yellow coloured. Medium sized head. Easy to find on tap. Probably one of the most marketed Euro beers. Classic beer glass with gold rim easy to find.

This is a pretty decent beer, although not my favorite, it’s up there. I would have to say that it has a full crisp taste altough there is a strong aroma to it, it is very good with a meat dish. I would recommend it.

It is a good beer. their marketing must be great because you see it all over. Not quite up to the upper standards of Belgium beers but tasty none the less. A slight after taste pours rather poorly. Better then many massed produced beers. I have had it in the bottle as well as tap and they are very close in taste.

A lighter colored beer. I honestly wasn’t a big fan of this one. It left a nasty after-taste in my mouth. Almost like a light, bitter wine taste. Not for moi.
