WOW - It would be Super Awesome to see you Guys doing a Cross-Examination style of Comparison between a BOTTLED Version of Heineken VS a CANNED Version of Heineken!

[@ronaldtheriot]

That could happen, I guess.

[@IsleofFire]

Oh that's okay. Only if you guys ever wanted to. It just sounded interesting to me at the time. But I appreciate the response.

[@sasquatch7720]

I understand what David is talking about, Heineken out of the can is way smoother and doesn't have nearly as much skunky taste

[@ronaldtheriot]

Really? I've never noticed a difference.

[@roycat2527]

Yes I agree totally can in hand as I type 😎

[@ReigningOnYourParade]

I found Heineken to be pretty consistent, over the years. Been a couple years since i had it, though.

[@ronaldtheriot]

It's a winner, in my booklet.

[@jmidd3437]

"And Miller Brewing" Good one!😁

[@ronaldtheriot]

Ha-ha. Thanks.

[@ronaldg9054]

Thanks for another review.... always a winner the H.... gotta love them

[@ronaldtheriot]

You're welcome!

[@patrickroland1979]

I prefer the bottles over the cans gotta be ice cold tho and the 12 packs keep the beer hidden from the sun unlike the 6 packs great review love all of them hope you have a great weekend

[@ronaldtheriot]

You, too, and thanks for watching, Patrick Roland. I appreciate it! Did you ever try the old, discontinued Heineken Special Dark?

[@brianlayne9742]

its the can... you guys need to do a can vs bottle challenge please!!

[@ronaldtheriot]

One day, perhaps. Thanks for watching, Matt Black. I appreciate it!

[@thomaskerr3109]

Jay this is my favorite beer. I drink this all day can or bottle I don't care. I like to try other beers but Heineken is my go to. Good review

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks, Thomas, and I bet that is the case for millions of people.

[@beerbbqbaseball1585]

Love the belt buckle Jay!! Product of Miller...that was funny. I thought this would be an easy one for David. Wow $.99 is a great deal. Great challenge!!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks, B/B/B!

[@douglasroethlin3839]

Dave said same thing on the Budweiser mystery taste challenge "it doesn't taste like Budweiser, i can't taste the beechwood". Making excuses for getting it wrong and AB even says the beechwood does not impart any flavor. Still enjoy watching you guys but when you get it wrong, just man up ha ha

[@Tenskwatawa4U]

My long-time theory about the beechwood is that it makes the beer drier and the user thirsty for more! That's my conspiracy theory, or one of 'em.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Yeah, Beechwood is a neutral flavor, and the bleach it, too.

[@Tenskwatawa4U]

The skunkiness is what always appealed to me about Rolling Rock and, of course Lord Chesterfield Ale from Yuengling, which I can't find here, and knew of only one place to find in Western Henrico west of RIchmond - a Walmart near me. But only from time to time. I wish to hell I could find some!

[@ronaldtheriot]

I've not run across much skunkiness, I have to say. I miss Heineken Dark.

[@dougrosales2504]

@ Ronald "Jay" Theriot....Always serve more cause you like...got em!!!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Right. Thanks for watching, Doug Rosales. I appreciate it!

[@jonbibby9755]

Heineken always tastes different out of those green bottles

[@ronaldtheriot]

I've not noticed that. Thanks for watching, Jon Bibby. I appreciate it!

[@rocketman8476]

If you’re used to drinking Heineken out of a bottle I can see how Dave’s perception would be different. This is one of the few exceptions, Heineken and Corona taste better to me out of a can than a bottle.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Really? That's interesting.

[@eddienicholsonjr6080]

He’s right honestly bottles are skunky but I love ‘‘em ‘ this was my first beer I ever drank lol

[@ronaldtheriot]

It's a classic!

[@christophercooper6283]

Dave in every other lager review... "I give it an A... It doesn't have that same bite as say a Heineken". "Heineken has that taste that I just don't like". Lol 🤣

[@ronaldtheriot]

Ha-ha. Thanks for watching, Christopher Cooper. I appreciate it!

[@intouch8789]

Heineken always has that fake hop flavor. They put hop extract in it. Still love it.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Hop extract isn't fake, but rather just not whole cone or pellets.

[@T6767676767676767]

Another good one ..................CHEERS.............................

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks, and cheers, back to you, Tim!

[@tictuck]

Did Dave have Covid, if so maybe he’s a long hauler 🤪

[@ronaldtheriot]

No, but I think I had it.

[@legend-pro-m8j]

Interesting review. Something definitely seems off with that can. Heineken to me has a unique, skunky taste.

[@danielscott1040]

Lightstruck=skunky taste.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I can't explain it, because it's a fresh can.

[@mattsummers8807]

I tired the bottle version and the can version. too me the can taste fresher then the bottle but seems the same to me

[@ronaldtheriot]

I don't think I've ever had the draft version.

[@douglasroethlin3839]

Heineken might be my favorite pick up a tall can at the gas station beer. Had one last night and a Stella &far prefer this one over Stella which while OK is bottom barrel stuff by Euro standards. Heineken is not top tier stuff either but i consider it superior to the popular & overrated Belgian brand

[@ronaldtheriot]

I really miss Heineken Dark.

[@Mamlishways]

Is this stuff still in the green bottles? Always found it and rolling rock totally skunked.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Yes, the green bottles. Thanks for watching, mjaylew. I appreciate it!

[@JuanGonzalez-gs3pz]

They changed from Hallertau hops to Saaz, maube that is the diff you noticed

[@ronaldtheriot]

Really? Wow. Thanks for watching, Juan Gonzalez. I appreciate it!

[@JuanGonzalez-gs3pz]

@@ronaldtheriot Thanks Ron, I work selling quality control instruments to breweries and I have some Heineken breweries in the Caribbean. and they are really strict with quality which really like, I always watch your reviews! Cheers!

[@ronaldtheriot]

@@JuanGonzalez-gs3pz That sounds like a really neat job.

[@Alfonsoltd]

I agree, it tastes way better in a bottle

[@ronaldtheriot]

I never noticed a difference, really. Thanks for watching, Unconventionally Reality. I appreciate it!

[@eddienicholsonjr6080]

Now where talking 🍻

[@ronaldtheriot]

"We're" talking, yes.

[@datstankadank]

heineken is easily the most overpriced, overhyped, bland extract lager. i honestly dont believe a single soul that says it tastes better over "there". its no better than a st. pauli girl.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I pretty much never buy it.

[@CretinH]

To me Heniken tastes like hay but in a good way. Kinda like when you can smell it at a harvest festival or something

[@ronaldtheriot]

I suppose that could be so. Thanks for watching, Cretin H.- I appreciate it!
