I will take the middle between what it taste like here and what it taste like in Holland. If possible always have this beer on tap it's much fresher and the taste is not as skunk like. This light bodied straw colored beer with little Belgian lace is good serve cold, but also very quenching and drinkable due to its ABV. 5% so enjoy but try to get it on tap.

Heineken the real thing on tap at Heineken cafe in Amsterdam airport, not those skunked bottles that come to U.S.

Decent fizzy head, nice notches lacing too, crystal clear watery straw color.

Nose light pilsner malt, very faint version of the sulfury unhappy lager, light golden malt character, very faint hint of a grassy hop

Taste is lighter but not too bad, no skunk surprisingly, straw malt, grainy pilsner, golden sweet malt with a syrupy sticky fermented corn syrup thing going though which still gives me the macro feel, and light unhappy lager yeast. Some milder grassy hops as well with some earthy nagging bitterness. Finish is lighter with more of the nagging bitterness and a sticky syrup malt base flavor.

Mouth is lighter bod, decent carb, little watery.

Overall not nearly as bad as I expected as it wasn't super skunked and metallic, but still has syrupy fermented macro lager flavors and a very slight sulfury unhappy yeast thing, so still not a great beer but tolerable.

Rotten eggs smell. Metalic taste, mouthfeel? watery appearance, hypercarbonated, worst hangover after fdrinking a couple of bottle, no no no no. This is the shame of all beer in the world. No No No No No ... I can continous to say No because this beer does not deserve a rating!

An attainable and decent introduction to European beers. Has nice carbonation out of the bottle. I never really enjoyed Heineken on draft or out of the can, but have always enjoyed this one from the bottle. A classic beer and cool branding keeps this beer alive for generations to come.
