Stella Artois Light
Stella Artois

Reviewing this as a "light beer" in the US commercial sense.
Pours to a two and a half finger head that lasts and laces well. Pale straw color. Aroma is faint but very much high quality spicy noble hops, likely Saaz. and clean pilsner malts. Flavor is delicately and pleasingly flavored with dry pilsner malts and soft noble hops to balance any scant malt sweetness present. Mouthfeel is nominal for style. Overall, a beer brewed to be a low alcohol refresher that tastes good for what it is. Bought it on sale at the local grocer. I call it a net positive.

I guess I don't get it, it's a 'classy' and 'premium' lager apparently. Let's quite with the pretentious air of superiority here; this is an overseas AAL with a shiny wrapper. It's like taking a Bud or Bud Light, adding 2-3 dollars to the price tag, and wrapping it in shiny foil. This does not make for a good beer, just an over priced one. Get rid of the green bottles too, which we all know is not the best glass color choice when it comes to beer.

As far as taste goes, it tastes like an AAL that had a hint of salt thrown into it.

Would Drink Again: No

So the original stella is refined for what it is, this is not. The pour is not a picturesque with the bubbly head fading almost immediately. Smells skunky with sweet adjunct corn and rice. Tastes similarly, with a hint of leafiness on the finish, but it is so weak. Feel is smooth yet fizzy, thin, watery, and lacks character

 

 

 

This is a very nice beer to sip on when you just want to lay back and relax. Very light and and smooth. Has a very grainy flavor but not overpowering. Bottle looks nice and is made well. I recommend this beer to anyone who enjoys a simple yet sophisticated beer.
