Stella, where art thou Stella

Stella Artois was first brewed in Belguim in 1926 as a Christmas brew, the name Stella derives from the Latin language meaning star. Stella is the #1 selling premium beer in the UK and advertised their as "Reassuring Expensive" It is promoted mainly as an international brand by Inbev.
In Belguim Stella is promoted as "Mijn huis is waar mijn Stella staat" which means My home is where my Stella is.


Stella has a strong taste and comes across a bit bitter for my liking, the aroma of Stella is subtle and by the mouthful is where youll understand my comment of being bitter and going down a bit rough. Stella is in a catchy green bottle and looks like a mini champagne bottle. Will i have another? Just the one more before i switch over.

This Damned beer

Maudite is a beer brewed by Unibroue, the name translates into the damned one and was the first strong beer distributed in Quebec November 1992.
It is a beer that contains 8% alcohol and the very first beer in North America that gets better with age. Some folks find that the beer is best served with pasta, stews or a spicy dish. Maudite served after many years has the distinguish to taste more like a port wine then a beer. Maudite is also associated with a legend of lumberjacks who stroke a deal with the devil to fly their canoe in the air to be home in time for Christmas.

Maudite is an ale and has the taste of spice, it also has a unique smell of a sort of spice hence why they suggest you drink it with something spicey, by the mouthful Maudite is an acquired taste and does not go down as smooth as some may tell you.
The look of Maudite is more of a Halloween feel as the bottle has a demon and a flying canoe on the label the beer is of a mahogany color. Will i have another? One more but to just pass the time.

Tsing Tao has a pleasant aroma and the taste though a little bitter is still drinkable, The bottle is a catchy green and the label is of a pier in the region the beer is brewed.
A mouthful goes down but that is where you get your full taste of bitterness. Will i have another? Of course would like to build my own great wall.
