Thanks for exposing this scam! (Reply to this comment)

Anyone who's been to Europe has seen that Heineken is the Budweiser of Europe, yet here it's marketed as special and is somewhat more pricey than quality warrants.

Naturally, I'd drink it, but Heineken is nothing special.

and drink up. No, just kidding you.

I think this is a great review. I tried a Heineken once. It was pretty good, but exactly in the way you said: better than Bud, crisp, refreshing, nothing majestic, you know.

Keep writing thus finely.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, I didn't really get too much foam and it didn't really feel foamy on the palate. Maybe you're refering to the same thing I did, the kind of sticky lingering malt although I'm not sure why that happens. I'll bear what you said in mind when (if) I taste it again.

I have noticed that the foam from Heineken seems to be much more delicate and somehow...weird. It tends to stay in my mouth even after i finish drinking it, for quite a while - a very unpleasant experience I never had with Pilsner Urquell. Am I the only one with that experience and if not, what's causing it? Thanks.
