Idiot's Review: Stella Artois

The problem with beer was that it wouldn't survive a long voyage, ergo rum and other distilled spirits. Still, beer later became a wondrous thing, with each community having its own unique brewery and style. We were loyal! That changed, but of late, Craft Brewing appeared and gone mad - with over 3000 of the buggers and 100's of weekly new releases, ergo a blood, er beerbath is in the offing. Until then - this section...

Idiot's Review: Stella Artois

Post by Capn Jimbo »

Founder's Porter

Lager | 5.2% ABV | n/a IBU's

Some time ago our good man Bear recommended four basic types of beer with which to become acquainted, including: Lager - thin, pale, sparkly with a mild bitter finish (e.g. Stella Artois or Yuengling Traditional Lager)


Our impression's are merged (Sue Sea and moi)...

There are time I like a good lager - sunny hot day, sailing or the beach, you know the scene. With pizza Sue Sea enjoys the ubiquitous Corona with a lime. (In that case, Tecate is my choice). At Oktoberfest it's a pitcher of Warsteiner.

The Stella presents as a slightly cloudy Spanish Gold, with a thin white head. We found a nice refreshing and light fruit aroma which reflected the palate of honeydew melon, a hint of Golden Delicious apple, and hint of lemon. Near the tail we enjoyed a mild nuttiness, which persisted in a modest aftertaste.

We both see the Stella Artois as a nice accompaniment to lunch, Asian or Mexican food. Refreshing, sparkly, medium light. This beer is nicely done, and at a lower price would be easy to buy; in this regard Bear's other suggestion - the Yuengling Lager - is $2 less at $5.99 for a half dozen.
