Bottle. Boring but not disturbingly bad pale lager. KInd of like the smell of it, it´s a bit more hoppy than your standard pale lager.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 DarkSong (239) - Dacula, Georgia, USA - SEP 3, 2009
11.2 oz bottle. Pours a pale yellow color with a small white quickly vanishing head. It has a crisp hop aroma along with a skunky smell. It has a roasted taste and also tastes of hay, cereal and grass. This is a OK beer in my opinion.

Drinkabily and refreshing.
The bitterness level is so palatable, and it’s not too so fizzy.
Vague taste of malt.

A nice, clean Belgian lager. I’m not a huge light lager fan, but this is eminently drinkable.

Not sure how I missed rating this one earlier, but here goes. Went to a club for my friend’s going away party and asked what beers they had. Bud, Miller, Coors, Stella, and Heineken. Awesome, way to cover a broad range of styles! So Stella on tap ended up being my drink of choice for the night, as crazy as that may sound, and I downed 5-6 of them out of clear plastic cups that look like they were made for beirut/beer pong (club didn’t have a table unfortunately). I love how some people who don’t know anything about beer will see BMC and say something like, "I don’t drink that terrible piss water! I like the good stuff, like Stella!" not realizing their knowledge of "beer" is limited to pale lagers and maybe Guinness. Some people will never learn. Oh well, anyway, this beer is golden-yellow with a white head. Looks a little better than an American adjunk lager. Aroma is pale malt, grain, corn, and some mild noble hops. Flavor is pretty bland and similar to the aroma. Has a cleaner and stronger taste than BMC (although that’s not saying much) with slightly more hops to it. Palate is light with medium-high carbonation. Not terribly offensive, but still one of the worst true Belgian beers I’ve ever had.
