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

UPDATED: OCT 4, 2009 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.

Stella. Drink all the time if it’s on tap. In the last few years has become an american staple. My fallback beer. Sweet, grassy, malty and better then other macro alternatives. If I am at a bar I will take this over a yuengling unless of course they have specialties or seasonal’s.
