I would say that Heineken is of a high quality. Which is to say that very good ingredients are processed in a very high/technical way. But it lacks a deep flavor. It has a nice hop aroma despite its past history as a defected skunky beer. All in all not the best beer but better than many.

As far as pale lagers go, Heineken is a step above budweiser, miller and coors.



As far as beers in general go, Heineken is really bad. The reason is simple, the style sucks. No matter what you do, a pale lager is going to be uninteresting with very light flavors, a light color, almost no hop presence, and an unappealing aroma. I can't even think about drinking one, personally.



If you're interested in Heineken, I would suggest you try to find better examples of the style that Heineken meant to be. See, nobody trys to make a pale lager on purpose, it's a sort of marketing accident. What they really wanted to produce was a Pilsner (either Czech or German, they are technically two "different" styles). So, with this in mind, you should seek out Pilsner Urquell (unsurprisingly the Pilsner that everyone wanted to copy so badly), Czechvar (also known as Budweiser Budvar, also from Czech), BitBurger (German Pilsner), or probably the most flavorful Pilsner, the Victory PrimaPils (made in Pennsylvania).

Heineken is a Dutch 5% ABV pale lager, made by Heineken International since 1873. It is the flagship product of the company and is made of purified water, malted barley, hops, and yeast. The beer is force carbonated. This product is a sponsor of UEFA Champions League and the Heineken Cup.



Heineken beer is brewed by 40 breweries in 39 countries around the world. 25.8 million hectolitres of Heineken beer were produced in 2006 and the consolidated beer production was 111.9 million hectolitres.[5] Since 1975, most Heineken beer is brewed in the Heineken brewery in Zoeterwoude in the Netherlands.[

Heineken is a decent beer. I consider it a gateway beer. By that, I mean it is on the border between good and bad beers. A lot of people that drink horrible beer still drink Heineken, and a lot of people that drink good beer are still willing to tolerate it.

its from amsterdam, a premium beer that's an acquired taste. They sell it in many grocery stores. It comes in a mi-nature keg for about $20.00

That's my husband's favorite, and was my dad's too. My dad liked dark, and my husband likes light (color). Although, both of my son-in-laws prefer Sam Adams......
