How does Heineken® Silver taste different to the original Heineken® beer? What ingredients are different?
Heineken® Silver features all the same pure, 100% natural ingredients people love from our original recipe. What makes Heineken® Silver different is the ice-cold lagering process.

This removes proteins and rough-tasting tannins, leaving a delightfully refreshing taste that’s accessible and easy to drink.

-
Heineken® Silver is brewed at -1 °C – does this mean it’s a colder beer?
Heineken® Silver isn’t an extra-cold version of Heineken® Original; it’s a completely different proposition that aims to appeal to a broader range of consumer tastes. Brewed at -1°C, Heineken® Silver has a more accessible, easy-to-drink finish. Lager beers experience a cold storage period to allow a ‘cold haze’ to form, which can be filtered out to leave a crystal-clear beer. The lower the temperature, the more cold haze forms and the more can be filtered out. Because cold haze is made out of proteins and rough-tasting tannins, a beer lagered at a lower temperature results in a more accessible flavour profile.
-
Why is Heineken® Silver a lower ABV than Heineken® Original?
With a lower ABV of 4%, Heineken® Silver is an easy-to-drink, extra-refreshing beer designed to be more accessible for more consumers.
-
Is Heineken® Silver vegan? Or does the brewing process involve isinglass, as is the case with Heineken® Original in certain markets?
All Heineken® beers are suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and Heineken® Silver is no exception. Heineken® Silver does not use isinglass in the brewing process and all ingredients are vegan-friendly.
