Good day lovely friends of beer community. There is this beer that I enjoyed this week. For a while now, I haven't taken any beer because of health challenge which I mentioned in my previous posts in this community but this week, I enjoyed one to test my health. From my experience, I can say that am getting better than before.
Let me talk about the beer....
Heineken is a beer with notable charismatic. Here in Nigeria, Heineken is considered one of the best beers because it is foreign product. In the year 1864, Heineken was founded. In the year 1963, Heineken was introduced to Nigeria.
When the beer was introduced to Nigerians, they embraced it and placed high value over it because it created job opportunities for the inhabitants and tax for government.
There are 4 distinctive ingredients used in brewing Heineken and they are thus as follow:
- Malted barley : Malted barley presence in a beer helps to bring out it's taste and quality thereby adding flavor to the beer
- Hops: Hops is one ingredient that I personally loves it's taste in a beer. The presence of hops in a beer adds mild bitterness, aroma and flavor to the beer. Whenever am drinking Heineken, perceiving the aroma of hops and its distinctive taste satisfies my desire.
- Yeast : Yeast helps the beer to ferment thereby adding more flavor to the beer.
- Water: Without the presence of water, brewer can't achieve high quality results. Therefore, it is essential to add water to this beer so as to bring out it's quality taste.
How Best to enjoy Heineken
Heineken is designed in a way one can easily enjoy with friends, alone, in social gatherings, with cuisines, snacks and even with grilled cheese or meat including sausages.
Colour and taste
Heineken has a dutch pale color and it has a significant taste that is distinctive because it is balanced with malt and citrus flavor
How I enjoyed mine
I went and purchased the beer from a local grocery store because I really want to taste cool beer. I also purchased eggs to enjoy it with.
It is also foamy but I allowed the foam to dissolve before drinking because I like looking at it's dutch pale romantic color while drinking.
Heineken beer is always brewed and bottled in a green bottle or can with iconic sweet packaging and design. I drank the one in can.
Come and enjoy Heineken with me!!!
