How it tastes

The fruity, slightly hoppy nose is unmistakably Heineken; the body is on the lighter side, which makes it easy to drink a few in a session but means it will not wow anyone looking for depth. At 0.0% ABV and 21 kcal per 100ml (about 69 kcal per 330ml bottle), it sits among the lowest-calorie options in the category.

Same A-yeast, same double-brew process, zero alcohol – Heineken did not cut corners to get here.
