The majority of beers I drink are usually IPA's and dark hoppy beers, because of their thick texture and rich aftertaste. I also tend to go for beers with a slight bitter taste like Bluemoon, Shock Top, and Yuengling Black & Tan. In the past, I have dabbled with lighter beers like Corona, but beers like Budweiser and Miller have kept me from buying them regularly.
Stella Artois is an impressive light beer. It's elegant harmony of sweetness and carbonation puts it at the top of my list for that category. From the moment it hits your tongue to the moment it leaves your mouth, the taste is consistent.
Out of the bottle, Stella Artois has a soft sweet aroma which lead me to believe that the beer was going to go down smooth, and it did. Though, using the chalice definitely makes the beer taste smoother, and even enhances the carbonation. However, it is hard to say that the chalice makes the beer taste better. My body is sent on a loop because the beer does taste different, but I can't honestly say weather or not I prefer the chalice.
I was hoping that the chalice would make the Stella Artois taste more like a draft beer, but the hike in carbonation pushes the beer borderline of being considered flat. I will recommend and buy Stella Artois again in the future, but I would not make a complete switch from the beers I normally purchase to it. Mainly because while it is an impressive for a light beer, overall I am not blown away.
