I don't think Heineken is bland. It's got quite a unique aftertaste.

  Well, it's definitely not as complex as a lambic. But that's OK, sometimes you want a simpler beer and sometimes a more complicated one. (Though to be snobby again: there are way better lagers around than Heineken..)

    > (Though to be snobby again: there are way better lagers around than Heineken..) Definitely. I do like a lot of the craft lagers/IPAs. Scotland is great for them. We've got tons of great brewers like Innis & Gunn, WEST Brewery, Williams Bros etc.

      Innis & Gunn is notable as being AFAIK the only widely available oak-aged beer where you can actually taste the oak. Well worth trying IMO.

        They're oaked beers are good, but TBH I find them overly-sweet and a little one-dimensional. They sometimes do "seasonal" specials, which can be more interesting.
