  1. Remember that there is a difference between the taste of canned beer and beer in bottles.

    Beer in bottles, no matter what color of the glass, can have a taste difference because of light. 

     

    The taste difference is called lightstruck and can happen within the hour when a bottle is standing in light.

    The taste of lightstruck occurs when there is a chemical reaction with UV light and the acids in the Hops.

     

    In many bars and supermarkets they use refrigerators with display glass and lighting.

    When they not use special lamps in the fridges, You will have UV light in the fridge.

     

    Beer in bottles always have to be stored in the dark.

    Green glass is more vulnerable to light than brown bottles.

    How darker the glass how better protected against light.

    So cans is the best way to protect your beer.

     

    Other possibilities to experience taste difference are;

    -Age of the beer (time from filling to selling) 

    -Temperature (how is it stored between packaging and selling)

    -Oxygen (filling the beer absolutely oxygen free)

     

    Little disclaimer; In the America's they use clear glass.

    That is because they use genetic manipulated hops that don't react with UV light.

    flood and drought seem recurring predictable problems and little seems to be done the alleviate the problems by successive governments. maybe it's a daft idea but how about building reservoirs in areas with rain to support the drier areas? as happened in victorian times in the uk when haweswater reservoir was built in the lake district to provide water for mancheter. and how about getting dutch experts to help with flooding prevention?

    As a Dutch boy I am a kind of an expert. I gladly volunteer for this job, but just get me in to Thailand. I will held office in Pattaya preferebly. ????

    I bought some from 7-11 during 'prohibition' a few weeks ago. Since I hadn't had a beer for a couple of months it tasted okay. However, I was perusing the can for the info regarding carbohydrates, fat, sugar content etc and all the standard nutritional stats were lacking. I had (mistakingly?) thought it would be less carbs than alcoholic beer.

    It is brewed the same way as the regular Heineken. After the brewing proces is finished, the alcohol is filtered out.

    So you have the standard nutritional content like the regular Heineken. If you want a beer with less carbs you must drink a light beer.
