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.

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.
