there is nothing great about this beer, quite plain, unflavorful, disappointing, what a let down. id rather be drinking a keystone, wow, did i say that??? bad beer

OK, I just can’t get excited about this. It is an average-looking, average-tasting thin little lager. Well made, I guess. Enough bitterness, I guess. Not much malt, not much mouthfeel other than an inital astringency, not much complexity or finish. I can drink this. But since it’s not low cal I wouldn/t bother with another one.

Nez:odeur des lager d’europe malte et un autre odeur que je ne saurais dire.Au gout la meme chose une petit gout chimique.Pas tres fort comme biere.

Puiiiih - what a terrible honker. Nearly straw yellow, no head, no nose at all. Sulphury stale hops taste. YUCK

Deep golden clear body that supports a sticky dense head that has a light dusting of tan to it’s color. Aroma of malt and fresh bread dough. The flavor is sweet ending with a bit of dryness. This has just a little more hops to it than the usual Dort/Helles but very drinkable just the same.

An above average lager - I certainly wouldn’t have guessed it was a Dortmunder/Helles - seems more like your normal macro lager. Golden bodied, aroma of malt, medium bodied - smooth but fully carbonated too. Taste is malty sweet with small hints of hops at the finish.

Color: a clear gold. Head: just right, bubbly and white. Aroma: soft, slightly sweet, but clean. Taste: simple, refreshing. As far as lagers, go: perfect, without a flaw. Nothing bad about it, but didn’t set me on fire. Then, a good lager is like a foot soldier, it just does job, follows orders, charges down the throat and quenches the thirst. I would be happier with the world if the Heinekens and the MGDs tasted remotely like this, and I’d be happier with the maddening throng of macroswill lovers, if they sought out better lagers like this one.

Heineken from Massachusetts. An easy beer to hate, its presentation seems ’branded’, pretentious, too clever. The beer is non-descript. A waste.
