Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Prefiro a Heineken
  • Some decent cheap beers to try: Coors Banquet, Guinness Extra Stout, Stella Artois, Heineken, Blue Moon.
  • Of the ones I've tried, Guinness and Heineken come closest to their regular counterparts.
  • I have lived my entire life in The Netherlands until that point, and got used (spoiled) with affordable Heineken.
  • I always thought it was bs but I just came back from Europe and it’s such a better beer over there. Literally it tastes like a completely different beer.

Cons

  • No, Heineken and Amstel are not any better here and there's no reason to bother with their swill.
  • Also, forget what you know about Heineken and Amstel and try them on draft while you are there. So much better.
  • Heineken -Nothing really that stood out to me. My least favorite of light beers
  • If Carlsberg and Heineken had a baby, this would be it.
  • I thought I was crazy in thinking that Heineken in Europe tastes much better. I can’t stand drinking it in the states.

Most have Peroni, Heineken and Paulaner.

Heineken, Corona, Tecate this far. ... Absolutely no body to them at all. I think I’d just rather abstain another 5 months.

Heineken is consistently better in countries where it is brewed locally and stored well. Obvious but I still like to call it out. In America, it is hard to get good, fresh imports like Heineken unless you get lucky with a keg.
