Review of Heineken Brewery, Amsterdam

Heineken - a bland of hops and malt

Advantages: Quite refreshing
Disadvantages: Uninteresting, bad aftertaste

...sampling beers that are less than interesting. One such beer is HEINEKEN lager. * THE BREWERY * Heineken took it's first steps on the road to becoming a giant in the world of brewing in 1863, when a certain Mr. Heineken bought the Haystack Brewery in Amsterdam. According to legend, or his mother, his goal was to tackle the problem of alcoholism by offering the public a light beer as an alternative to stronger spirits such as gin. (Very altruistic.) Although the Haystack Brewery was the largest in Amsterdam, he soon had to move to larger premises, and by 1874 was already exporting. Today Heineken is the second most imported brand in the USA behind Corona. Heineken now has over 100 breweries around the world, and in fact, only Anheuser-Busch brews more beer. The beer is sold in 170 countries, while their second brand, Amstel, is...

Review of Heineken Export Lager

Heineken THE BEER

Advantages: Tasty,
Disadvantages: easiest to drunk

...Heineken beer is made with the greatest of care with Heineken's special 'A' yeast and premium select hops which give it it's unique taste. Heineken beer is made of medium roast hops and so Heineken beer is not as dark and well burnt as the Guiness or Irish Murphy's. Heineken beer is not expensive nor is it cheep but Heineken beer is good and affordable. Heineken beer has a mild taste which people may think is pissy or watery, Heineken beer may be pissy or watery if you down 15 pints of stout at your local and have a homer simpson belly, Heineken is a thing that is unique to any other drink, it is a cool breese after a spicy hot chilli or curry. Heineken's is gorgeous mixed avec lemonade, diet 7up is my fave. The bottles are designed and they look godlike, tall, sleek, with a smooth and beautiful blonde beer, wearing only a label...

Advantages: How refreshing and beautiful.
Disadvantages: not dark and bitter, some may say it is pissy or watery.

...Thirsty? Have a drink!!! What a fine drink this is. Not too sweet and not too bitter. Some may say Heineken beer is too weak but I think Heineken beer is just great for those that like an occasional but not to blow you off your feet drink.

Review of Heineken Export Lager

Heineken, a mugs game.

Advantages: Well established, relatively cheap brand
Disadvantages: Heavy taste like many European Lagers

...Heineken export is probably not the first beer that comes to mind for drinkers when deciding on what lager to get, it is certainly not the cheapest although it is there or thereabouts, much like any other large scale brewed drink. What the real test for Heineken drinkers will be is the taste, something that is essential for a beer if it is to be drunk regularly. My particular preferences for lager seem to sway to American beers such as Miller and to a lesser degree Budweiser. I enjoy a light crisp beer, and although in Britain we do not get Miller Lite or Budweiser Lite en mass, light beers can still be found. Heineken is a crisp, but rather heavy beer, with a taste that sits on the tongue rather than going down the back of the throat like so many good beers do. However, for the price it is commonly available for in Off...

Review of Heineken Export Lager

Zymocenosilicaphobia

Advantages: Tasty, refreshing, inexpensive.
Disadvantages: Not the best lager by a long shot.

...Zymocenosilicaphobia (Zi-mo-cenno-cilly-kafobi-e,) n. Excessive or irrational fear of an empty beer glass; Prejudice or hatred of an empty beer glass. It's true, really it is. Why not have a glass of Heineken? Heineken is a Dutch lager, probably the most famous of all Dutch lagers surpassing the likes of Orangeboom and Grolsch. Although, arguably, Grolsch have the best adverts! Heineken entered the UK market in the 1960's and back then people preferred the weaker beers and ales to Lagers so Heineken produced a weaker version of their popular lager and Heineken Cold Filtered was born! Then in 1985, to meet the demands of an ever increasing lager drinking culture, a stronger lager - Heineken Export - was born. On the 24th of February in 2003 Heineken changed forever as the Whitbread based brewery's license ended and real...

Review of Heineken Export Lager

Ten Green Bottles!

Advantages: Pleasant to drink lager
Disadvantages: May get drunk if drink too many

...Recently I celebrated a BIG birthday and had a retirement party, my husband bought some lager as well as wine, the lager was Heineken Export and as some was left I decided to try a bottle with my lunch, sitting out in the garden enjoying the April sunshine. I was feeling tired after gardening- that was my excuse! Well, that's what retired people do, don't they? My father was a beer drinker and thought men who drank lager were wimps - that was my husband! But lager is no longer as weak as it was when first introduced to Britain's pubs back in the 1960's. In 1969, (the year we got married) Heineken decided to license the brewing of Heineken Cold Filtered to Whitbread, who looked after the production of the beer locally. Heineken quickly became a huge hit in the UK. Television advertising, like 'Heineken refreshes the parts other...

Review of Heineken Export Lager

Reaches the Parts Other Beers Cannot Reach

Advantages: Refreshing, Quality, Available almost anywhere in the world
Disadvantages: May not be strong enough for some

...Heineken is Holland’s most famous brand of beer and is the leading selling and most well known brand internationally. Heineken is one of my favourite beers primarily because it is available wherever I travel. As some of you may be aware I travel regularly to West Africa and Asia and Heineken is always available wherever I go, be it in cans or bottles. Heineken is a quality lager beer that provides a perfect balance being not too strong and not too light. The quality of the beer has never been in question although taste may differ slightly depending on the way that you have it i.e. in bottles or cans or from the tap. However the difference is nominal and the overall product oozes quality. What I find most favourable about this beer is its very refreshing values. Unlike some beers that tend to fill you up and slow you...
