Heineken - 0.0 Lager

The Dutch Heineken company was founded in 1864 and now owns over 150 breweries in 70 countries; so it is the very definition of a multi-national company and is one of the largest brewers in the world by volume of beers produced. This "pure malt lager" is the AF version of the 5% original. The same ingredients are used: barley malt, hop extracts and "natural flavourings." It is created by the removal of the alcohol using vacuum distillation. The beer is dispensed from a 330 ml bottle, has a crystal clear appearance and supports a bubbly white topping. There is very little aroma to identify. Tastewise it has a slight soft malted character. The finish is similarly unremarkable.
