What does Heineken beer taste like?

Can Heineken beer be used in cooking?

How should I store Heineken beer?
Heineken beer should be stored in a cool, dark place, ideally upright, to minimize oxidation and light exposure which can cause 'skunking.' Refrigeration is best for immediate consumption, but a cool pantry is suitable for longer-term storage.
How long does Heineken beer last?
Unopened Heineken beer typically has a shelf life of 6-9 months when stored properly in a cool, dark place. While it won't necessarily 'spoil' after this time, its flavor and freshness will gradually diminish. Once opened, it should be consumed within a day to retain its carbonation and taste.
