Stella Artois

Brewed by: InBev Belgium
Brewed at: Brussels, Belgium
Type: Lager
5.0% A/V

First Impression
Stella Artois. Brewed in Belgium since 1366! A very appealing presentation, bottled in green glass with a regal looking paper label. In a clear glass drinking vessel this beer is every milliliter a classic European lager. Golden hued, bond white head and a crisp effervescence.

First Sip
As cold as this one was, the fragrance of a true Belgian lager was yet unmistakeable. Precisely balanced hop bitterness and malt sweetness combined lightly, almost delicately to make a really refreshing beer.

Halfway
Solidly reliable, good overall quality, just not terribly adventurous. Which depending on what your tastes are, this might be a good or bad thing.

Bottoms Up
Not adventurous, but that is not to say dull necessarily... Stella Artois is pleasant enough. Satisfying and refreshing, it is a very popular beer for good reason.

79/100
