i wasnt to impressed with this one. it is what it is. nothing more than a lighter version of heineken. I like to full flavored heineken much better, but this one’s bottle looks better.

Not offensive in any way. Just light and lagerish. Tiny bite of hops, no malt anywhere. Good for lite banter with friends. good nite heine lite.

mmmmm.... the dutch are good at fooling americans into thinking they actually drink this beer. smells like cannabis, tastes like corn to me, borderline offensive.

Ugh. Was this really necessary? Sampled, in bottle...at a party...and I wasn’t the host...obviously. Anyway, has that moderately skunky flavor that seems to dominate Heineken. Pass.

It smells and tastes like Europeans who use deodorant once a week compared to its extra stinky big brother who never showers.

Free at Musikfest. Highly carbonated. Pale yellow color with no head. Skunk aroma with a minimal taste of grain and funk. Don’t pay for this.
