FarFromHome (82), Philadelphia, Alabama, USA Jan 15, 2008 There’s a Stella billboard in Philadelphia that says "Quality has it’s price." This statement is true. But it has nothing to do with Stella Artois. Inferior to water in the following categories: colour, taste, and flavour. It’s rather popular with the recently graduated crowd, and I’ve tried it on a couple of occasions, and never finished a bottle. Somehow watery and metallic at the same time.
If I had a choice between drinking Stella and nothing, I’d choose nothing. And I don’t mean "drinking nothing" I mean in the grand contest of drinking stella vs. nonexistence, I’d choose nonexistence. GreatLibations (1440), Last Supper, Arizona, USA Jan 15, 2008 Pours pale golden w/ a solid head and good persistant lacing. Aromas of vanilla malted beer. Lght nectar w/ ample carbonation. Flavors of beer predominate this brew. Nuances of vanilla and citrus. The finish is bittered peacefully w/ no offensive nuances. Ramenen (453), San Salvador, El Salvador Jan 14, 2008 Pours nice into a golden color with some white head. Refreshing with a bit of hops toward the end. rctournay (1), USA does not count Jan 14, 2008 Smells like a skunk covered in urine. Looks clean, but so does Beast. Tastes line a Keystone thats been out in the sun for an hour. Only skunky flavor remains after a few seconds. I hope only bad people waste their money on this. MesandSim (5790), London, Greater London, England Jan 14, 2008 A Mes rate, there is no way in the world Sim would be daft enough to drink this. Actually, I wasn’t daft enough to drink it either. We had a late night at work on Friday so my co-worker nipped to the shop to buy beer. He came back with a nice bottle of Malbec, this and some Fosters Ice. I stuck with the Malbec obviously but as this was opened I sneaked a rating in. Utter shite from the biggest threat to all that we hold so dear. Smut peddling, mediocrity pushing motherfunking scumbags. I don’t know if it’s the same in the rest of the world but the strapline on the adverts here in England is... wait for it... "Reassuringly Expensive." God’s honest truth. That’s how they sell this putrid filth. "Reassuringly Expensive." Basically, "We are going to sell you shit at inflated prices, we are even going to point out the prices are inflated, and you lot are going to drink it, because we know you are allllllll thick as pig shit." Cock off Inbev, you are the Starbucks of the beer world and the devil in disguise. Go on, rate a crap beer, chances are it’s an InBev owned company. Die InBev DIE!
I think I have placed my hat firmly in the ring at this point... lithilorn (169), Covilhã, Portugal Jan 13, 2008 Bottle, yellow and white head. little malty and hops aroma. not interresting beer. pepsican (883), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA Jan 11, 2008 gold with a thick white head. Flavor and aroma are simple yeast/malt/hop. Boring yet easily drinkable and clean. Decent. Perceptron (32), USA Jan 11, 2008 Wifebeater indeed. The ultimate in marketing; how did InBev convince so many patrons of high-end beer bars in the US to pay $7.00 a glass for what is essentially stale Budweiser? This beer is a typical low-end Euro lager; no more no less. If you find yourself at that new pub with all the dark wood inside (you know the one) and are expected to pay premium prices at least go for the Hoegaarden tap. It is sure to be there.
