Wolfenstein (93), Sarasota, Florida, USA Jun 28, 2007 Had 6 of these during my trip through the Heineken Experience in Amsterdam. Cold, refreshing and light. Other than that, I cannot recommend. Mass produced, skunky and light.
WeeHeavySD (1871), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Dec 27, 2006 Beer 34 Summer 2006 trip in Europe. Drank on 7/5/06 at the Heinken Experience in Amsterdamn. It was called Heinken extra cold, but I don’t know if this is it or not. This brew was garbage. scotty (755), Scotland Dec 12, 2006 God! I really didn’t expect to find this here! I’m quite ashamed to say that this was my favourite brew at one time, in my defence it was a LONG time ago, and I was just about to discover the delights of cask conditioned beer. Having tasted it more recently,well about 10 years ago (Yes! this is another retro rate from a while back) I remember it as being....well!....crap! altonbrownd (999), Amsterdam, Netherlands Sep 30, 2006 On tap at Kobalt. Have also tried the "Heineken Extra Cold" served at 0 degrees. Very good. Better than most pilseners. Decent head. Bit of a taste. xproudfoot (730), Paleolithic, Pennsylvania, USA May 30, 2006 Hey. I think you can "experience" something that is basically like this nonsense on tap at the Heineken "Experience" in Amsterdam. They had it on tap as "Heineken Extra Cold." Basically a frozen tap handle and other gimmicky frozen stuff made to serve the beer extra cold, Maybe that doesn’t count as cold filtered Heineken but I don’t care ’coz I think it’s funny and wanna rate my Heineken extra cold. So anyway, on tapp this stuf was indeed fresh and exrea cold. The frozen tap handle was self renewing and one of many pointless gimmicks in the heineken experience which only serves to amuse dumb people and display how flithily rich heineken is. It tastes super clean, has a good fresh lager flavor, some good hop, definitely is some corn in here though the museum does not acknowledge that, you never see the actual brewery on the "experience" because it is no longer here in A’dam.
