Why is that?

Try thinking of iced tea, after you take a sip. Its heinekin or rolling rock that has th after taste of tea. Its odd.

I do not like heineken at all.

I think people just o like it because it has a better image that Bud, etc, but still tastes like the watery [censored] that they're used to.

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

it just too gaseous for me. I feel like i'm going to explode when i drink it.

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

Heineken isn't anything like Fosters, is it?

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

No, It's like Bud, only a *little* more flavorful, and more bubbly

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

I have a problem with Heineken

But I like Rolling Rock

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

heineken is pretty overrated.

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

There is a skunked taste from the shade of glass used to bottle it. That is why you don't like it.

Na, I drank it from the can. For me, the flavor is overly metallic and the feel is pretty gassy. There is also too much alchohol in the finish.

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

I think that Heineken sucks.

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

Heineken is the only imported beer I like to drink. Mind you I haven't drank a lot of 'em.

That's pretty much what I thought as soon as I saw the title of this thread. My friend always used to talk about "Heineken farts," and sure enough, he always got 'em, bad. I always figured this was from the yeast. But I noted it too.

I like their dark beer better than their light beer. The dark beer is excellent in chili.

I love it.
It's got a bit of a fruity-crisp taste to it.

Dogfish Head 90/120 minute IPA
Stone Ruination IPA
Unibroue Maudite or Terrible

Awful.

So bad I had to give it to my friend. Luckily he'll drink about anything.

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

I've got a couple bottles of Maudite in the fridge right now. It's damn good, but I think I like "La Fin Du Monde" better.

Heineken is [censored] horrible, as is Rolling Rock. Somehow these beers have become popular, perhaps its the trendy green bottles or something. Both are horrid beers with gross aftertastes.

Rolling Rock

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't like Heineken, but Rolling Rock is considerably worse.
In my opinion, it doesn't even taste like beer.

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

I actually really hated Heineken, but this summer I went to Amsterdam and went to the Heineken factory. The Heineken there was really good and tasted awesome, and I hate beer.

I have yet to retry Heineken in US but I'm sure it still sucks.

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

My cousin just came out from the west coast and we did a lotta drankin, and promptly discovered his strong dislike for my favorite beer. Supposedly his friends and family hated the stuff as well, describing it as a very "skunky" beer. I myself just cant see it, just how things are.

Screw drinkin what you dont like or even questioning what you think you should like because it's popular. Just curious, what's you're favorite beer?

Ah, yes, I forgot about "The End Of The World"- that's very tasty, I concur.

I've had less than 15 beers, but I'd say Fosters, then kronenbourg 1664, then corona.

I think the glass comment may be spot on. It's well known that lighter shades of glass make it easier for beer to spoil. In my experience I prefer Heineken from a can, although I prefer most beers from a bottle.

Heineken can > Heineken bottle

But when I go to the bar and drink a 'light' beer (not Light beer per se, just something pale) I usually order the cheaper stuff like a Tecate or a Pabst. Because Heineken is more expensive, typically served in bottles and not good enough to merit this.

Also, beers decline in appeal as they warm up to varying degrees. Heineken seems like it gets warm and gross faster than any other beer.

I've never understood why anyone drank Heineken. It smells like someone took a dump in every bottle.

Ruination is anything but a "get you started" beer, if we're talking about pilsner/lager drinkers trying different Ale and/or IPA styles.

I've not tried the others. Dogfish Head is no longer distributed here in Southern CA. I've had a Maudite before but its been a long time.

Except for drain cleaner. One of my frat buddies tried to get [censored] up off that [censored].

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

I'm not a huge Heineken fan. If you want a GREAT imported beer that is both full-bodied and refreshing, drink Stella Artois -- Belgian beer just starting to get popular in this part of the country (Dallas)...starting drinking it a few years ago while living in Europe -- very lucky for us it's finally starting to show up over here.

Check it out next time you're at your favorite watering hole.

Hehe, perhaps it is too strong for a neophyte.

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

Other than that time at Outback Steakhouse, had my first real digs with Fosters with a keg I liked it. I'll have to try kronen

don't bother. 1664 is a truly awful beer.

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

You think it tastes bad because it comes in green bottles which let the light in to skunk it more easily than brown bottles. In addition it isn't a particularly good beer in the first place.

Re: Anyone else have a problem with heineken?
 

"Heineken? [censored] that [censored]. PABST BLUE RIBBON!"
Heineken is awful. So is Rolling Rock. I would much rather have a Grolsch. But I prefer darker beers anyway.
