Product Description
-------------------
Type: Lager/pilsner
ABV: 4.6%
Origin: Leuven, Belgium
Overall impression: Light sweetness with a pronounced dry hoppy
finish
Stella Artois is a Golden Pilsner Lager with the distinctive
taste of Saaz hops.
Originally crafted as a Christmas gift for the Belgian town of
Leuven over 1,000 years ago, 'Stella' Artois was so well
received, that the brewery named it after a star, and decided to
give it to the world forever.
A beautifully balanced, full-flavoured premium lager with a
pronounced hoppy bitterness and a crisp, clean and refreshing
finish.
Most lager and pilsner s are made of the same ingredients.
But that doesn't mean they're all created equal. Every Stella
Artois is brewed with water, malted barley and maize. But most
importantly, Saaz Hops. It's what helps Stella Artois stand out.
Saaz, the origins of which can be traced back 1,000 years, is
known as one of the noble hops: the original hops grown in
central Europe.
In Stella Artois, it gives a delicate green hoppy note that
harmonizes with the fruity aroma coming from fermentation.
Before being poured, we always recommend it has been chilled to
between 3-5°C and, of course, you should enjoy a Stella Artois in
its unique Chalice, the curves of which are designed to enhance
the tempting taste and aroma.

FOOD PAIRING:
Medium hop intensity in both floral and bitter notes and some
residual sweetness from its malts means Stella Artois has several
flavours notes to pair with food. Like most lagers its
carbonation can aid it when pairing with ty, rich and fried
foods, as long as the intensity isn’t too high.
Stella Artois can also be paired with salmon, tuna and marbled
meat. Its bitterness offers pleasing contrast with sweet
reductions and sauces.
HOME-RUN PAIRING: BATTERED FISH AND CHIPS
There are several flavor bridges and complementary elements
between Stella Artois and fish and chips. Firstly Stella Artois
can actually be used in the cooking stage, with Stella Artois’
carbonation adding a lovely lightness to the batter and also a
slight cracker and nutty flavours to the dish.
The ’s intensity is also just at the right level to stand up
against the fried fish without stealing the show or being
overwhelmed, whilst the carbonation helps cleanse the palate. The
slight floral notes from the hops and residual sweetness from the
malts will play nicely alongside the of a squeeze of
lemon or a dash of vinegar which often accompanies the fish.
Finally, the gentle hop bitterness will offset any sweetness from
any complementary mushy peas on the side.
