🌍 Belgium · Pale Lager · One of 62 Pale Lagers in hopIQ

Stella Artois Pure Gold is an all-malt lager first launched in Brazil and since extended to Chile, Paraguay and Argentina. It is brewed from water, barley malt and hops, and the gluten is broken down during production. It pours clear straw yellow with a creamy head. The aroma offers toasted cereal, a lightly floral hop note and a faint hint of pineapple. On the palate bread-like malt and a touch of sweetness meet a moderate bitterness in a light body, ending clean and fresh.
