Stella Artois Gluten Free

Tap to rate

The gluten-free Stella Artois follows the recipe of the original lager with barley malt and Saaz hops; the gluten is broken down during brewing with the help of a specific added protein. It pours clear golden with a white head. The aroma shows floral hop notes of medium intensity over a light, bready malt base. On the palate residual malt sweetness balances a gentle, slightly herbal hop bitterness, and the finish is crisp and clean. Brewed in the United Kingdom for the British market, where it has been on sale since 2018.
