Heartland Beer
Heartland Beer (ハートランドビール) has been brewed since 1986, when it first appeared as the house beer of a Tokyo beer hall, and after Kirin Lager Beer it is the brewery's longest-running brand. It was built around the idea of going back to the plain essentials of beer: it is made from malt only, and every hop in it is an aroma variety. It pours a clear gold. The nose is clean, with a bright citrus note from the hops, the palate brings soft malt sweetness and a gentle, rounded bitterness, and the finish is crisp and short.

What is a Pale Lager?
Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.
