A Sim rate (tap at Heartland Brewery, Union Square): Aroma of lemon, orange and lots of sherbert. So so sweet with lime and melon. Not so impressive in colour (it IS a "light ale" after all), but carbonation and lace look great. Lace really sticks to the glass. I never thought so much flavour could be packed into such a pale-looking beer. I could drink this all day. It’s melon, peach, raspberry. So refreshing. Very unexpectedly good.

On tap at Times Square location. Very light, thin body and watery taste. Almost no head. I got a hint of orange, but it wasn’t as strong as I thought it would be. Compared to the Cornhusker Lager, which was OK, I would choose this.

On tap at the Empire State Building Location. Lots of fresh orange zest in aroma - really nice. Lots more orange plus coriander and light malt in surprisingly flavourful taste. Light to medium bodied, medium yellow with a good sized white head - this is crazy, what a great light beer! I can’t believe how much I enjoyed it. So refreshing.

On tap at the Union Square location Heartland Indian River Light Ale is a pale orange color with a very thin off-white head. The aroma is subtly sweet with a medium bodied malt base and orange and corriander essences. This is a nice substitute for American light beers.
