Stella Artois:

Greetings and salutations to you all and welcome. Today we jump the pond to look at a beer that is more famous for it’s glassware than the beer itself. Stella Artois and it’s “chalice” are quite the pair, I think more effort and time was put into the glassware than make an unique Belgium beer. The beer pours well with a clear golden color, a small thin white head and a nose that is strong in ma

lts and a slight bread smell. The beer’s taste is very familiar and similar tasting like an American Pilsner that is heavier in the malt taste that it’s American cousin. The backend taste is very skunky with a dryness that persists through the aftertaste and leaves a sour feel on the back of the tongue. Not my favorite Belgium but for a mass market beer, it’s way better than the other green bottled "fancy beer" on the market (Hint: it begins with an “H”, is marketed as the hipster beer of choice). I do really like the chalice though, it’s heavy, well constructed and good attention to detail on it. This would make a great addition to anyone’s beer glass collection, even if you don’t like the beer.
