5.0 Waterig, smaakloos en goor.. meerdere malen gedronken. Vind dat het geen eens bier mag heten.

2.2 Další zkušenost z Egypta. Pivo má tak jako Sakara Gold velmi podobné tóny, nicméně má v aromatu i v chuti tóny ovoce, trochu jako jablka a pomeranče. Říz příjemný, stejně jako sladové tělo a hustá pěna. Pitelné.

1.4 33cl Can. Gift from a friend. Golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma is grain, straw. Taste is grain, sweet, cardboard, watery. Light body, average carbonation.

2.4 Plechovcicka od kolegu. Vona leziakova. Farba bledsia zlatista. Chut zo zaciatku leziakova. Ku koncu divna dochut. A trochu vodove.

0.9 Can - 330ml. Piss-like yellow, heavily carbonated body with a thick, fading, white foamy head. Scary soapy/chemical aroma with some subtle malty, hoppy, bready, and herbal hints. Its watery taste carries barely detectable malty and hoppy notes. No finish at all. Coloured water.

2.0 Bottle at hotel in Cairo. Not to be confused with European Stella. Pours a pale gold with an average white head. Mild aroma and taste of malt, grain, and grass. Decent. Was glad to have it in Egypt.

2.1 Draught, at Magic Beach Hotel 2018-02-09 Egypt AR: bready wee grass, wee cardboard box AP: copper clear, frothy chemical white head F: bread, wee grass, some cardboard

1.1 Can in Hurghada, Egypt. Clear golden with a white head. Malt, sweet corn, bready, metallic. Standard cat piss.

2.0 At a tasting, thanks, small stable bubbly head, clear yellow color, light malty paper aroma, quite sweet and fruity, light bitterness. Drinkable with no distinct off flavor but nothing more.

1.8 Can sample at a tasting at Max's place. Thanks Stas. Clear pale yellow with white head. The aroma has notes of grains, corn and flowers. Bitter flavor with notes of grains, corn and black pepper. Light-bodied.

1.9 Can sample at a tasting at Max's place. Thank Stas. Clear golden, white head. Grainy, corny, a bit of acetaldehyde, sweetish, bitterish finish, light-bodied.

2.2 500ml Flasche. Klar und golden mit kleiner Schaumkrone. Sehr getreidig. Leicht malzig. Milder Geschmack.

2.2 Appearance: pale, clear, minimal head, disappears almost immediately. Aroma: bread, hay, cereals, sour, sulphide. Taste: lightly bitter, lightly sour. Palate: light+ body, creamy, lively, astringent, very light bitter.

2.0 Drank this in Sharm El Sheikh several years ago. Pretty standard lager with a thin, sweet taste from what I remember. Nothing special but there isn't much more on offer in Egypt!

2.0 Una lager normal y corriente, no le veo ningún aliciente. Algo más amarga de lo normal.

2.7 normal not very interesting beer. taste like gold colored bitter water. not very interested me..

1.9 500ml bottle. Pours gold with a large head. Aroma is eggy corn. Taste is mostly corn with a little lemon. It’s fine in the heat!

2.2 Not as bad as expected, lots of hops save this brew. Unfortunately it tastes generally soapy somehow with hints of sweat. But ... at a warm night at river Nile ... there could be worse. Unfortunately my pretty bottle was only imported as a gift ...

1.7 50cl can @ the lost box tasting, Helsinki. Country tick! Poured deep golden color with a thin white head. Hard to find any aroma here, some weak malts, some hay. Flavor has some weak malts, corn. Watery but probably nice on a hot beach and you like beer without flavor.

1.8 Przepis na piwo Stella Lager: 60% eurolagera, 40% wody z Biedronki. Z wyglądu klarowne i tak jasne, że wzbudza podejrzenie wodnistości, co potwierdza się w smaku. W aromacie powietrze, w smaku woda. Nędza.

2.4 Apples, honey and flour. Taste is dusty with all the above. Not a great hit

2.2 Klasyczny przedstawiciel egipskiego piwowarstwa. Piwo o smaku w którym niewiele do zapamiętania.

2.6 Clear yellow, white foam head. Again a standard beer, nothing to report. But still local, so OK. And a tick. (Cairo 201701)

2.9 Clear golden liquid with frothy white head. Aroma of hay, caramel. Tastes same, copper, iron, medium sweet, medium bitter, light sour. Light body, light feel, average carb, long fin.

2.6 Can. Pours golden with medium stickysoapy head. Aroma: malty, metallic, sweetish, weak hay. Taste: malty, sweet, weak caramel, metalic notes. Thin body. Sweet finish.

1.9 Bebida en El Cairo en 2005. Fue divertido. Introduced in 1897, Stella was born 100 years ago, and has since been an icon in Egyptian history. Bringing modern brewing methods into Egyptian beer making, it has become a part of the daily life, and close to the hearts of Egyptian consumers.

2.1 Bottle: Pale yellow color, white head. Aroma and flavor is grainy and light corny, light bodied, Typical exotic Lager, grainy and light but refreshing if it is cold. Drinkable.
