Does anybody really like Heineken?

**Jack Daniels** · January 26th, 2007, 06:41 AM

Or is it just swill with an incredible marketing scheme?

**WhiteLightning** · January 26th, 2007, 08:32 AM

I'd vote both 'yes' and 'no' if I could. (I voted 'yes' BTW.)

Heineken does have an odd taste. I used to hate it, but now I like it okay - don't love it, don't hate, but do drink it from time to time.

Sometimes I switch up on (regular) Heineken and Heineken Dark. I've tried Heineken Light, but don't think I liked that all that much.

**Booger** · January 26th, 2007, 11:35 AM

No. It has been a while since I've tried one, but I'm just not a fan of green bottle lagers, especially pale lagers and even light pale lagers.

**Botz99ss** · January 26th, 2007, 06:30 PM

I voted yes. The new Heineken lights are better though.

**Anthony** · January 26th, 2007, 06:31 PM

I'm not a big fan, but at the same time I'm a desperate college student so I pretty much drink whatever is put in front of me.

**Perfectibilist** · January 26th, 2007, 07:18 PM

Not I. Can't stand the s***. Never could drink it. Even when I could/would drink Bud Light/Miller Lite and such, absolutely couldn't drink the Heinie.

**deafcon** · January 27th, 2007, 12:02 AM

I'm not a fan at all. To even finish one I have to be pretty toasty.

**GotBeer** · January 28th, 2007, 11:13 PM

I drank them for about 8ys. I had aquired a taste for them.

**Beer Buyer** · January 29th, 2007, 04:32 PM

Only the dark/red bottles.

**426HEMI** · January 29th, 2007, 05:34 PM

Yes/No.

My father in law, who has all the wine tasting skills in the world, actually tells me with a straight face Heineken is the best beer in the world. I give him DFH 60 and 90, various Uni types, Left Hand stuff, I mean you name it and he says they suck.

Basically he knows his s*** on the wine side but is a dolt with beer.

Different strokes for different folks. He may not like the hoppy beers, give him a GOOD Belgian Strong Ale and see what he says.

**Sin** · February 2nd, 2007, 03:21 PM

I think there are better beers out there, but I still like the taste of Heineken.

No...though I have always wanted to buy one of those mini keg things they sell in grocery stores--just to see if it I could drink it all and for a nice momento to add to the bone yard.

Sorry for bumping the thread

I actually tried it for the first time tonight, Bought a case of budweiser & a 24 ounce bottle of Heineken. Before i opened the case i drank the heineken first and i gotta say it wasn't bad at all, It's kinda got a weird smell maybe like a skunk (which i get out of it) but it was pretty damn good

ill have to grab more sometime soon

Holland Baby!

**adragster7104** · January 15th, 2010, 07:35 PM

I can't really stand it.....
But I have to say that I had it while we were on our honeymoon in the Caribbean and it tasted much better there than it does here

**michelob** · January 16th, 2010, 11:51 AM

I can't stand the smell of it.

**Joey** · January 16th, 2010, 04:49 PM

The stuff is rubbish.

**michelob** · January 16th, 2010, 09:53 PM

I don't like Canadian beer either.

Unibroue is Canadian, and they make some amazing beers. Or are you referring to the major producers like Molson and Labatt?

I can't get anything good like Unibroue around here. So, yes I was referring to the skunky Canadian crap.

I want to travel to Ireland and taste some real beer someday

**Joey** · January 18th, 2010, 05:02 PM

Never tried Molson, but I've downed a sixer of Labatt before. It was fine to my tastes, in terms of your typical mass-produced lager of course. Actually, I think Labatt might be owned by Anheuser Busch now anyway

Tons of real beer here in the states Mich. But you said you can't get stuff like Unibroue, does that mean they don't carry any micro brews around you?

I'd have to drive at least 60 miles to get some good stuff.

Thursday the wife and and I are planning a little road trip, so I hope to pick up some good stuff.
