Along with almost everyone here I must agree Sam Adams is no better than tepid pond water. Decent American beer? You're better off getting something like Alaska, Trippel, 90 Shilling or Sierra Nevada.
As for Heineken, their insistence on using green glass in their bottles is the issue. The colour lets more light in, and that changes the flavour the beer during shipment much more than your standard brown bottle, which keeps most all light out. Almost all green bottle beers are hit and miss ie: St. Pauli Girl. I've had good luck with the Heineken keg cans, never got a skunked one and they don't have that canned beer taste.
Edit: Leave all that stuff alone anyways, gets some Smithwicks, Murphys or Boddington and enjoy.

Smithwicks is a great beer, definitley my new favourite irish beer
