Can from supermarket. Standard lager but certainly one of the better ones. Will get a higher rating when bottle tasted as remember actually quite liking this from the bottle. ----- Bottle from supermarket. I don't know why I have some sort of starnge affinity with Stella. I think it is becasue it was the beer my dad drunk and as a kid, the beer I would get a sip of if i was lucky. Maybe for that reason, outside of the bottle it tastes repulsive but in te bottle, it is quite lovely (maybe due to those memories of sipping from the bottle). It cannot be all that, and I think it is superior to most rubbish on the market shelves and should strictly be from a bottle but hey, rant over. It is quite sweet, some eldeflower, some tinny lager ofc. 2.6 to 2.5. (27/9/17) ----- Keg at In Den Rozenkrans, Leuven. Well well well, first beer in Leuven and appropriately its Stella. Went down an absolute treat. Looked good. So smooth on the palate today. 2.5 to 2.9. (16/1/22) -- Keg at De Flore Margiet, Leuven. 2.9 to 3.1. (22/1/22) --- Bottle at home in Leuven. No aroma. A good looking beer with lasting foam from carbonation. Easy drinking with a quite strong bitterness with a tang of sweetness. Decent. 3.1 to 3. (24/1/22) ---- Keg at Cafe Commerce, Leuven. Very clean to no aroma. Light gold with small lasting foam and very very light carbonation. Taste is great today, even tasting hops, who'd have thought. A good bitterness to it and slight spicyness. Smooth. Honestly, this trip has convinced me that Stella, brewed here in any case, has to be one of the best macro lagers. 3 to 3.2.

330ml bottle, though have had in cans and on tap before. Pours pale. Orange, lemon, savoury vegetable notes, overwhelmingly sharp. Not at all smooth and really not that pleasant either.

On tap at ChaIRSKI, Nis. Crystal clear, golden color. I would say it’s eurobeer +. Folks simply know how to satisfy most of population. No sweetness present, tiny bitterness. Good choice when in Asia.

330ml bottle @ my Mums house on Christmas Eve. Drunk from the bottle like a pro, so no comment on looks, although I would hazard a guess at a clear gold appearance. Taste is clean golden pale malts, light hop bitterness. It’s a continental mainstream lager and does its job well.

Very unsettling to claim to be one of the world’s best selling beers. Appeal to the masses, thrill no one. Oh well. Bought on tap at my favorite cigar bar. It poured a decent yellow liquid but yields a nice, very fine white head that dissipates. The scent is minimal, not a surprise for a pale lager, a hint of floral. It tastes of grain, bread, a little sweetness. Not offensive but nothing really to recommend. Grade it as you will as an InBev world beer.

Bottle. Pours light yellow. Aroma is lightly hoppy, also metallic. Not much of a body, a bit sweet, low bitterness. Still meh.

Gezapft am Flughafen in Brüssel. Gelb-gold, klar, weisser, fester Schaum. Aroma Hopfen, Zitrus. Geschmack: leicht bitter, malziger Hintergrund. nach etwas stehen mehr Getreidegeschmack. Für ein Pale Lager recht charaktervoll.
