this is not a good beer and not a cheap one either! has the price of good craft brews but none of the flavor. if you drink this then you are probably the dork with tapout t-shirt that smells like he bathed in axe deodorant. hops are present but they cant hide that pervasive skunk tinge. avoid like the swine flu.

12 oz bottle. Heineken lager is an ok beer. Just ok. I place it in my triad of "lawn mower beers" - Becks, Grolsch, Heineken. Please - only drink AFTER the chores are done! Anyway, Heineken is an ok thirst quencher, after Grolsch and Beck’s, in that order. Hops aroma greets you at the door. Carbonation is strong. Flavor kisses the palate then drops off like a cheap date. On a positive note, Heineken is readily available just about anywhere in the world - they even have a brewery in Egypt! Egypt - who’da thunk it? So go cut the lawn, clean the mower, then pop the top on a Heinie - made with Cleopatra’s bath water! Take that, Amun-Ra!!! Prosit

Dermi (224) - Helsinki, FINLAND - FEB 6, 2012
50 cl, canned. 4.6 % alc. vol. Pours clear yellow with a disapp. white head. Aroma: Sweet malts, hops. Taste: Sweet malts, herbal hoppy background. Cardboard. Palate: Light body, a bit thin. Subaverage carbonation. Texture feels a bit odd. Nothing to remember.

Padilha (64) - BRAZIL - FEB 4, 2012
Cerveja bem equilibrada e apreciável. Com certeza a melhor alternativa na opção custo-benefício, qunado procura-se "aquela" cerveja para ser comprada em massa para uma ocasião com várias pessoas. Por isso ela merece o devido respeito!

Cannette 500 ml. Bouteille. Fût. Baril. Couleur jaune paille. Arôme de céréale. En bouche légèrement sucrée. Finale sans histoire. Se boit bien l’été bien frette.

slight sweet hop smell, pale straw color, pretty much no lacing, water and a little hops, sub-par overall but not bad for the price and availability

edpeg (246) - Berlin, GERMANY - FEB 1, 2012
A typical pale yellow pils/ helles. Some vague herbs in the aroma. Palate mild watery with semisweet maltiness. Aftertaste hints of hops, short watery finish.

Comercial beer, cheap, and, nothing much more. Not really tasty, but more enjoyable than similar beers

Tallboy can (rate from notes). Standard yellow fizzy color. Aroma is surprisingly not skunky...the can has done this beer good things. Taste is standard macro lager with a bit of extra sweetness in the end. Overall a very nice macro lager! Buy this one in a can, not a bottle. It is actually a decent beer!
