2226 | Peroni Nastro Azzurro | Italy | Lager | 2.4
Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 4 June 25, 2007<br> Smokeless Joe’s (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)<br> 330ml bottle <br> 5.2% ABV <br> Bottled On: Unknown<br> $5.90<br> This was poured by the waitress into a Unibroue glass. It poured very clear with little head. When held up against the light it was a very pale yellow. The aroma was weak with some floral hints. It was very harsh on the tongue with a fair bit of carbonation. The taste was very bitter which surprised me from a pale lager. Not a beer I will try again anytime soon. |

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4 June 30, 2007 <br> LCBO Outlet #255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte) <br> 500ml can<br> 5.00% ABV<br> Canned On: Unknown<br> $2.35<br> Having tried the Kronenbourg Lager, I decided to try this. The beer smoothly into the glass with a nice light gold colour, clear, with a thin head. The aroma is faint, but malty. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with some mild carbonation. The taste is more hops than malt and has a slightly bitter finish. Overall, a decent beer that I may try again but I prefer the lager. |

2238 | Heineken Lager | Netherlands | Pale Lager | 2.3
Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 August 1, 1993<br> Gift<br> 330ml bottle <br> 5.0% ABV <br> $0.00<br> Another from the list of 'alright' tasting beers. Heineken is a beer that I expected more from. With it's place among the classic beers of the world secure, let's get down to the review. The colour is a straw gold colour that is representative of so many North American style lagers. The aroma is slightly hoppy and not too overpowering. The taste is pretty mild with nothing to really distinguish it from anything else. Not a bad beer, but it isn't a favourite of mine either. |

Lots of effervescence. The aroma was a combination of malts and yeast. The mouthfeel is crisp with a lot of carbonation - dances on the tongue. The taste is slightly bitter with some malty tones. Not a great beer by any stretch. |

There wi a definite hoppy taste. It is an easy drinking beer, went down well. |
