Heineken is a bright golden-yellow lager beer. Brewed at 5% ABV with 100% natural ingredients only: malted barley, water, hops, and a small but significant extra, called A-Yeast.
Pure malt and Heineken’s unique A-Yeast are responsible for the rich balanced taste and subtle fruity notes that have distinguished every single Heineken since1873.
When the Heineken star brewers perfected their craft, they learned that fermenting our beer in horizontal tanks, instead of the industry-standard vertical, creates the perfect pressure for our A-Yeast.
