Stella Artois
Tap to rate
🌍 Belgium · Alcohol-Free Lager · One of 33 Alcohol-Free Lagers in hopIQ

The alcohol-free Stella Artois is brewed like the full-strength beer, and the alcohol is removed afterwards. It pours clear pale gold with a quickly fading head. The aroma brings light malt, a little cereal sweetness and a floral hop note with a touch of citrus. On the palate a noticeable hop bitterness sits against residual malt sweetness and a hint of light caramel, softer and sweeter than the original. The finish is crisp and dry. Besides barley malt and hops, the recipe contains cane sugar and natural flavourings.
