Known as "wife beater" in some circles Stella Artois is one of the stronger lagers you can buy in the United Kingdom. I must be honest the only time I really drink lager is on a hot day in the summer and even then I would only have the odd bottle of a half pint. It is marketed as a premium brand lager originating from Belgium, it is certainly a lot stronger than most other tap lagers at just over 5% I think. It is best served chilled in a long glass in my opinion, I would never drink it straight from the bottle. It has a nice full bodied look to it. Taste wise it can be very refreshing when you have a thirst on and I find that although ...  Read the complete review

It’s time for my first venture into the world of consumer durables so here goes. I spent my Christmas with my good friend Stella Artois. Renowned for it’s sharp, dry taste Stella is one of the most famous of mainstream lagers. Where did it come from and where did it all start? Well, Stella comes from a town called Leuven in Belgium. The original brewery was known as “Den Horen” or “The Horn” and dates back to 1366. In 1708 Sebastian Artois was made Master Brewer. He proceeded to hand his skills down to the following generations. The family house became known as the Artois brewery in 1717. The modern day bevvie came ...  Read the complete review

Where I come, Stella is a drink that is frequently seen in seemingly every bar, pub or club. Some of them serve it in bottles, others serve it in pints and sure, it tastes decent, but I don't see any reason why it should be more popular than any other lager? I don't buy into the Stella hype to say the least, but here is a review of the product with my thoughts on it nonetheless. The taste, to me, appears to be very similar to any other lager, only it tastes slightly weaker, as if it has been watered down, even though it obviously hasn't, but that is the general thought that comes to find when I taste it. To me, it doesn't seem as strong as rival lager's such ...  Read the complete review

I am not a big lager drinker - I generally prefer cider if I want a longer pint-style drink, but over a weekend we spent camping, I was offered and tried Stella Artois for the first time. Prior to this, my only knowledge and experience of Stella Artois had been that it was a lager that sponsored the tennis championships at Queen's club (although I don't think it does any more!). Stella Artois, or simply "Stella" as it is more commonly referred to is, I am informed, originally from Belgium. It actually doesn't have a very good reputation as it is the type of drink that stereotypically is thought to be drunk by young yobby types who are interested in ...  Read the complete review

Stella Artois We often have Stella Artois, a Belgium beer in the house as my husband and a lot of his friends prefer it to other beers. However, personally I will only consider drinking this if there is nothing else left in the fridge and it is the only choice available. Personally, although I quite like the taste of the beer itself, I find that it has quite a distinctive and strong flavour. I do not like the after taste that this tends to leave in my mouth. I think that the beer is quite heavy and strong, but leaves a bitter aftertaste. I also don't think that this is one of the most refreshing beers out there. Generally, I prefer a ...  Read the complete review
