About this product
The iconic green can. The original Dutch brew.
Some beers need no introduction. Heineken is one of the most recognisable lagers in the world, but there's a detail worth knowing when choosing your next can: not every Heineken is brewed in the same country or at the same strength.
This is the original Dutch-brewed Heineken at 5% ABV, presented in a generous 50cl can. Brewed in the Netherlands, it brings you the classic recipe at its original strength, offering a slightly fuller-bodied experience for those who want to enjoy this world-famous lager as it is brewed in its home country.
Expect a bright golden colour, a fresh malt aroma and the familiar balance of crispness, gentle bitterness and a clean finish. It's an excellent choice for anyone who appreciates the Heineken name but wants to explore a different version of the beer widely available in Ireland.
Same iconic brand. Original Dutch brewing. A little more to discover in every can.
Why we love it:
A familiar favourite with an interesting point of difference: this is Heineken brewed in the Netherlands at 5% ABV. The 50cl format makes it ideal for settling in with a match, sharing a meal or enjoying a relaxed evening. A great pick for customers who like to know exactly what's in their glass.

Bright golden straw with a fine, lively white head.
Aroma
Fresh malt, light grain and subtle fruity notes.
Palate
Crisp and balanced, with a smooth malt character, gentle hop bitterness and a clean, refreshing finish. The 5% strength gives it a satisfying presence without losing its easy-drinking character.

Heineken's clean, balanced profile makes it an easy match for casual favourites and more flavourful dishes alike.
- Burgers and BBQ: A natural partner for grilled meats and smoky flavours.
- Pizza: Works beautifully with tomato, cheese and savoury toppings.
- Fish and chips: Crisp refreshment alongside a classic favourite.
- Spicy food: Helps balance the heat of chilli-rich dishes.
- Sharing plates: Great with salty snacks, chips and casual party food.
- Cheese: Try it with mild cheddar or other approachable, semi-hard cheeses.
For the best experience, serve well chilled at 4–6°C.
