Heineken

Country of Origin: The Netherlands
Brewed by a Dutch company, Heineken is one of the palest, straw-coloured lagers around the world. At first, Heineken is smooth, fresh, and exhilarating. Ripe, sweet corn blends with something that hits as some sort of bread or rice pudding sweetness. With its iconic green bottle, the head is packed, bone-white, and long-lasting.
The main identifying trait in this lager are its usual pale, grainy, biscuit malt flavours (these are generally noticed in most decent lagers). Impressions of ripe corn sweetness come out in the middle, and the ending gives a delicate whiff of hops in the form of newly cut grass.
Peroni Nastro Azzurro

Country of Origin: Italy
Peroni Nastro Azzurro (or better known as just Peroni for short) is a firm and fresh beer hailing from Italy in the form of a pale lager. Its exceptional taste and glimmer of character undeniably conjure its Italian touch. The company has been brewing since 1846, and the Peronis we know today have been around since 1963. Conferring to the original recipe, it’s an indication of craftsmanship, fervour and Italian style in a beer.
Its exclusive and stimulating character is distinct to its brewing process. The brewery of Peroni applies its flavours with a finesse that is driven by high quality, limited varieties of premium hops to make Peroni Nastro Azzurro.
Miller Chill

Country of Origin: USA
Beer lovers will see that Miller Chill is a blend of the best of two cultures in the form of a ‘chelada style’ beer. This light beer from America is influenced by micheladas, which are lime and spiced beer cocktails from Mexico. Miller Chill was launched in 2007 by the Miller Brewing Company, is known as a light beer brewed with the flavour of lime and a pinch of salt to bring out a truly invigorating beer experience. It’s a new-age substitute in mainstream low-calorie beers, one that brings a crisper, smoother and more summery beer experience.
Sapporo Premium

Country of Origin: Japan
Brewed by Japan’s oldest brewery, Sapporo Premium Beer is a golden, authentic Japanese lager. When poured, this straw-coloured Japanese brew delivers a soft white head of foam that dissolves immediately, leaving behind no head or lacing. This beer has a flavour that blends tastes of light, sweet malts with some tart and only light bitter notes to finish. Grains and grass seem to lead with its full malt character, and one could even notice a touch of apple hiding behind the light, sweet malts balancing the hops delicately.
Miller Genuine Draft
