Draught, at the Heartland Brewery, Union Square, NY.</br> Golden (paler than the light) with a medium, fine head. Slight better then the lite but only just. Larger with a twist of citrus, orange & lemon, which isn’t becoming.

Pretty good lager, clean and slightly peachy on the finish. Aroma is mildly hopped, not very strong. Dark yellow, light bodied. Fairly sweet but not much in the way of sourness/zing to it that I'd like from a lager.

Not bad, but I'm not sure why anyone would go to the trouble of brewing a "high end" version of panther piss

Terrific aroma. Very crisp beer with some dryness and considerable hoppiness. Not sure if I can detect the "flaked maize" or if I'd advertize that ingredient. Reminds me of a European Amstel Lager due to its bitterness.

Definitely can taste the corn notes in this beer. Quite smooth, however, moderately carbonated.

An inauspicious start to my time at the Heartland Brewery. Can you say "middle America" in the heart of NYC? Minimizes the unpleasantries, with no horrific aftertaste and not overcarbonated for a brewpub lager, but it doesn't do much else. (on tap, Heartland Brewery, Union Square West, NYC)

Like a bad pun, just way the hell too corny. Yeah, I could actually review it, but it tastes like a corn-infested lager, so I'll just put this sentence on to pad it out to 75 characters.

It’s hard to believe that this brewer has a top 50 beer at ratebeer.com after drinking this. Sour nose, buttery tastes and bad balance.

Corn nose. Golden with a little diminishing head, leaving brussels lace. Bitter, but medium taste, also corn and grain. Medium bitter finish.

Sweet with peanutty-vegetable character. Starchy. Well-hopped with long bitter finish.
