Stella Artois has a rich heritage dating back to 1366 in Leuven, Belgium, and is today the gold-standard of quality in over 80 countries. First brewed in 1926, as a Christmas beer in Leuven, it was named “Stella”, Latin for “star”, from the Star of Christmas, and Artois, after Sebastian Artois, founder of the brewery.
A Belgian style blond pilsner, it has a delicate fruity aroma with a slight Saaz hop nose; no obvious citrus, floral, resinous or herbal notes. A subtle malty & grainy character provide a sweetness that rounds out the evident bitterness that gently lingers to a light dry astringent finish. Medium bodied and well balanced.
