Heineken

Brewed by Heineken Nederland
Style: Pale Lager
Zoeterwoude, Netherlands

Not at all my favorite but better then the US mass producers. Pale, yes! bitter, a bit! bad to good but far from great. Pours yellow with white head. No lacing. Not good aroma of corn, not a great taste.

I’m not sure how to rate my pet peeve of beers. Tastes like a dirty sock that a dead rotten carcass of a skunk ate before he died and then threw up during autopsy.

Bottle: I understand that the difference between fresh, on tap, and bottled is extreme for Heineken. I hope so. Bottled, it was bland, bubbly, and a bit skunky. The fact that macro drinkers think of this as "the good stuff" is a textbook exanple of successfully marketing an image, not a product. BUY AGAIN? No reason to

Bottle 330ml. Nothing special. Aroma is lightly hoppy, with floral tones. Tastes sweet, with some bitterness at the end. Looks bad, light yellow with no head. The body is thin and bubbly; carbonated, although not as bad as other pale lagers.

~ 12 oz bottle. God, what a boring lager this is. Typically found in mass quantities at local teenage house parties all across the US. I really want to give this beer a fighting chance, but I just can’t. As scary as this sounds, I’ve actually had worse! :-0 ~

Very light easy to drink beer that goes very well with spicy chicken wings. Kinda sad that it rated so low on here.

Pale yellow pour with a skunky smell and flavor. Maybe it’s the green bottle, maybe it’s just a bad beer. I have no idea. Either way it tastes pretty bad.

Draught. Faint malt aroma, a bit fruity. Pale yellow color. Ok malt flavor, with decent balance. Drinkable stuff with enough flavor to know it’s beer. Better than most of its ilk.
