Advantages: Perfect on a summer's day. A lager with taste.

Disadvantages: Nasty hangovers and often overpriced

Ah Stella, we meet again. This beer is a coy one to say the least. Coy in the way a truck to the face can be. Stella Artois is a premium lager of rather strong ABV at 5.2%. The beer is immensly popular and can be seen stocked at almost every pub you may visit. Why so popular? Well, for many it is a lager that gets you severly inebriated, yet still contains some flavour! My memories of this beer consist of either seeing people engage in fights after many pints are consumed (it is affectionaly known as wife beater for a reason) or waking up with a rather nasty hangover.

The taste, while noticable, is rather a double edged sword in my experience.
Often leaving a stale aftertaste as well as being renowned for it overpriced expensiveness, stella artois is a lager that should never be chosen over much better choices such as Grolsch, Cobra, or even Becks Vier if that is your sort of thing. While it is indeed satisfying on a hot summer day, the cold liquid poureed in a nice pint glass, the taste does begin to wane after a while.

Although by then, you're most likely out the pub, half way down the road and wondering why you're having so much trouble operating such simple devices as a key.

Summary: Stella remains one of the most successfull premium lagers in existence. And with taste, too.
