In the UK, Stella used to have the tag line "reassuringly expensive".
Because of its alcoholic strength and its reputation among the English drinking classes it is now called "wifebeater".
One of these is probably more appropriate for Portfolio. Your call.
Yours aye,

Pfshaw.
Stella is indistinguishable from a child's bath water, after the child gets out.
As for the rest, it depends on whether iys Country Ale or city ale.
I'll take a few pints of fine British ale and then stagger back to my Hoseasons' Houseboat when I'm in Napton-on-the-hill. :-)
