hotstuff (3249) - Indiana, USA - AUG 14, 2005
Draft at Heartland Brewery at Union Square with Author, Ken Wells. Poured a small off-white head that quickly dissipated, fine-small sized bubbles, sparse lacing, carbonated, transparent, and a yellow hue. Malty, hoppy aroma and mimicked in the flavor as well. Tingly palate. Light-medium body.

goldtwins (4320) - Nesconset, New York, USA - JUL 31, 2005
Clear golden with a thin white head. Malty aroma with notes of cron. Some light hop bitterness running through from start to finish. Reminded me of a hopped Bud.

Crisp, clean, easy to drink, but not what I look for in a lager. Could have used more hopping or something else.

Stew41 (1460) - Woodend, AUSTRALIA - MAY 30, 2005
Crisp refreshing larger with a sharp finish but not particularly hoppy. Creamy malts fill out the palate nicely. Commercial descriptor is quite accurate.

JoeMcPhee (6967) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 17, 2005
Pale malt aroma, light straw colour. Faint sweet corn aroma, light hopping, noble hop aroma and faint spice. A servicible and refreshing pale lager.

rickgordon (3764) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - MAY 4, 2005
Draught at the Union Square location. Deep golden. Lemony nose, from maize I believe. Mellow, malty flavour. Hopbitter and quite dry in finish. Lemon is there all through. Clean beer.

notwoohoo (109) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - MAY 2, 2005
Served in 5oz. sampler glass. Classic dry medium American lager. Aroma of corn and grain, no significant hop aroma. Little head retention, but a smooth lacing was left on the glass. Very strong corn flavor when the beer first enters the mouth, which slowly fades into malt sweetness. Way too much corn aroma and flavor.

LilKem (1214) - Marietta, Ohio, USA - APR 3, 2005
very basic. watery and thin. no head to speak of. lots of malt?, not much corn flavors, (but thats ok with me) and hoppy flavor and aroma.

Papsoe (23023) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAR 16, 2005
(On tap) Not that pale, rather dark golden in colour. As most Heartland Brews this hasn’t much of a head. Quite aromatic but suffering from a hoppiness that I find a bit too aggressive on the palate. Not that balanced.
