| vs Alcoholic Version |
This is a well-crafted European-style lager that might actually outshine the original. Crisp, clean, and surprisingly full of character.
Packaging
Classic Stella branding. Clean, recognizable, and timeless. It doesn’t try too hard—and it doesn’t need to.
Look
Looks great in a glass and just as nice straight from the bottle. Pale golden yellow, bordering on straw. The head is solid but fades quickly.
Smell
More hop aroma than expected—slightly peppery, almost floral. Definitely more expressive than the alcoholic version, with clean lager notes underneath.
Mouthfeel
Nails the classic lager feel. Smooth, light, and perfectly carbonated. Super easy to drink and refreshing without being boring.
Taste
This is where it really shines. Balanced sweetness, subtle hops, and crisp finish. Honestly, it feels like there’s more going on here than in the regular Stella.
Final Verdict
A go-to NA lager that’s satisfying, just complex enough, and consistently enjoyable. A standout in the category and one I keep coming back to.
