Does Heineken taste different in bottle, can, and tap?!
Answers: I think it tastes significantly better out of the bottle......any thoughts on this?
MUCH better out of the bottle. But then again, most beers taste better out of the bottle.
Any type of beer will taste different depending on how it is stored. I always prefer tap because that is the "true" taste of the beer. It is not exposed to light or air after it is sealed in the keg, ensuring this is the way the brewers intended for the beer to taste.
All beers taste different in bottles, cans and tap. Most beer drinkers prefer the bottle...the taste is cleaner.
it absolutely tastes better in a bottle. i only drink bottled beer. when i was in viet nam, the beer was spiked w/ formaldehyde b/c it was shipped from the u s. it tasted bad, but it was an acquired taste of which any thirsty man drank his fill. the formaldehyde was used as a preservative.
beer always taste better from the tap or keg, coz thats how it should be , and also the fact it normally means your in a pub or bar, and theres nothing better than sharing a beer with a friends, family etc, hence tastes so much better
while bottle vs can if there were blinded taste tests i don't think you would be able to tell , but for me psychologically i think people and myself included think its nicer from bottle coz its a bit more class
The worst part about Heineken in a bottle, is that if it has ever been exposed to light, it will smell skunky as hell. The green bottles don't do much to block out the sunlight that can break down the hop compounds in the beer that produce the skunk odor.
I'd say kegged, and even canned Heineken is better since it won't be exposed to light. Bottles in an enclosed 12pack box will be good too.
My husband always prefers tap, he thinks it tastes "fresher" I think it is because of the mechanism for pouring gets more air into it and the "fresh" taste is oxygen..
Like when you get a glass of water from the tap, it tastes fine when you first get it, but let it sit out all night.. and it tastes "stale"... It is the air bubbling through it.
Yeah
tastes better from a keg.. because that means you have more!!!!
