Although carrying the same pils appellation as the green-bottle Heineken sold on the USDM, this brown-bottle Heineken is noticeably different. Instead of the flowery sweet hopping that I expected, there is more of a bitter initial flavor with just a hint of honey before the flavor of malt takes over. The malty middle fades seamlessly into a very clean finish. The color is a clear amber. The carbonation is light, forming a 1cm head on decanting that dissipates quickly. This is much more drinkable! This definitely is different than the brown-bottle Heineken Special Dark Lager sold on the USDM \u00e2\u20ac\u201c it is quite obviously a pils. It is less bitter than Wernesgruener, but similarly refreshingly easy to drink. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sold. Now I understand why they go through the trouble of bringing it back from Europe!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>5% ABV<\/p>\n<p>Recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Three and a half out of four drunken monkeys<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3938\" href=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/2010\/09\/07\/beer-is-good-gdm-heineken-pilsener\/gdm_heineken_pils_color\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-attachment-id=\"3938\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/index.php\/2010\/09\/07\/beer-is-good-gdm-heineken-pilsener\/gdm_heineken_pils_color\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/GDM_Heineken_pils_color1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1283894669&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.05&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"GDM_Heineken_pils_color\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/GDM_Heineken_pils_color1-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/GDM_Heineken_pils_color1.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3938\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" title=\"GDM_Heineken_pils_color\" src=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/GDM_Heineken_pils_color-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"GDM_Heineken_pils_color\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3939\" href=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/2010\/09\/07\/beer-is-good-gdm-heineken-pilsener\/gdm_heineken_pils_cap\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-attachment-id=\"3939\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/index.php\/2010\/09\/07\/beer-is-good-gdm-heineken-pilsener\/gdm_heineken_pils_cap\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/GDM_Heineken_pils_cap1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1283879208&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;80&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"GDM_Heineken_pils_cap\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/GDM_Heineken_pils_cap1-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/GDM_Heineken_pils_cap1.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3939\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" title=\"GDM_Heineken_pils_cap\" src=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/GDM_Heineken_pils_cap-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"GDM_Heineken_pils_cap\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a bonus for working on a bike for one of Chris\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 friends, I scored 6 German domestic market Heineken pilsener beers.
