The first pint or two out of those kegs will be crap.

They fit fine in a chest freezer, leave in for about 3 to 4 hours and it pours some really nice pints. Can't go wrong for 10.99!

To get rid of the foam you really have to dump the very first bit coming out, you will see barmen do the same. They knock the tap and then put the glass under. It is like some foam is in the tubes, and if it gets out it "grows" if bubbles are already there.

Good price. 5L is 10 cans or just over 15 330ml bottles

Thats not always the case,depends on the level of gas goin into it! Couldn't do that with one of te taps in the place I work or you'd never get a head on it at all! And generally the head doesn't stay on a pint of Heineken for long!!!

given that they've only been reduced in price due to the short dating on them i'd say once they're gone in a tesco they're gone, my local one rathfarnham only had a couple left after I bought 2 the other day.

To console yourself, you can get a 24 * 500ml cans of Heini for €36.99! (They're in the Christmas wrappings. BB 07/08) Just over €1.50 a can:D
