2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
(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.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
From tap at the Midtown location. Pours hazy orange with a small white off-white head. Aroma is fruity and slight cornish. Bitter, light malty and lingering fruity. Bitter and dry into the finish.

Golden color, small white head. Malty, a bit caramelly and citrusy nose. Light palate. Light citrusy notes, pale malts. Quickly fading aftertaste. Ok craft "bulk" lager, but no need for another sample.

3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
A Sim rate (tap at Heartland Brewery, Union Square): Nothing, nothing there. It could be worse. It could smell like lager. Looks like lager with a bit of lace. Surprisingly nice flavour. I only say that because I’m not a lager-lover, but could tolerate this. Such sweetly-subtle malts. Delightful. Almost want to give it a ’7’. Sweet, malty finish that’s delightful.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
On tap at the Radio City location. Poured a medium golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas and tastes of mainly corn with light malts. Lightly sweet.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A golden orange lager with a thin lacing white head. A good malt base with nice caramel notes in aroma. In mouth, a classic pils, czech in style, with lots of hops, biscuitty malts, and a nicely oily mouthfeel. Medium bodied. Tasted at the Union Square location, Nov. 2006.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pale malt aroma, light straw colour. Faint sweet corn aroma, light hopping, noble hop aroma and faint spice. A servicible and refreshing pale lager.
