BEER REVIEW: HEINEKEN

Heineken
Pale Lager, The Netherlands
What can I say about Heineken beer? Cool label and logo, check! Cool bottle, check! A premium quality import, check! But wait….is this beer really as good as everyone says it is? I remember as a young lad in my late teens and early twenties when I thought holding and drinking a Heineken was some kind of status symbol among my peers, as if the green bottle was some kind of uppity accessory that successful and cool people should brandish. But what about the taste? Hey back then taste didn’t matter as long as you looked good, right?
Well I’m in my thirties now and I don’t give a fuck about looking good only feeling good. And while I’m not going to say Heineken tastes horrible, I’m done with the whole “premium quality import” shit. The bitter aftertaste has always bothered me and although there is a crispness to the beer there is also a certain tang I’ve never grown accostumed to. So all those high-fiving douchebags in the high end bars asking for a “Heini” can go screw!
Can you find the Heineken is this picture?
