Stella Artois Blanche

Tap to rate

Stella Artois Blanche is a lager with a small share of wheat, developed in Argentina together with the global brand team and first launched there in 2022. The wheat plays only a supporting role and adds a light tartness, while fresh coriander and Mandarina Bavaria hops shape the aroma. It pours golden and faintly veiled under a creamy, lasting head. The nose shows tangerine, orange peel and a peppery, herbal coriander note; the palate is light and soft, with gentle bitterness and a refreshing citrus finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Stella Artois Blanche

◎ Appearance

Pours a brilliant golden hue with a faintly veiled, hazy quality that adds visual interest. The head is notably creamy and persistent, sitting proudly atop the glass with excellent retention. Carbonation appears well-balanced, visible as fine, steady bubbles throughout the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright citrus notes, with tangerine and orange peel leading the charge. Fresh coriander brings a distinctive peppery, herbal character that distinguishes this lager from its peers. The Mandarina Bavaria hops contribute a subtle spice that complements rather than overwhelms the overall aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens light and soft with gentle wheat tartness that never becomes harsh or astringent. Mid-palate reveals restrained bitterness paired with citrus notes that mirror the nose. The body remains lean and approachable, allowing the coriander spice and citrus character to shine without heaviness.
