At South Street Seaport. I thought this would fit under the style of "amber" which is usually a decent style that brewpubs can show their talents. This was no different. A good session brew. I had this near the end and had forgotten which was the irish red and which was the rooster (same exact color), but one sip settled that argument. A decent amount of hops in this brew.

Sep 6, 2008 On tap at Heartland Times Square; my favorite home brew from Heartland. A nice balanced aroma and flavor. Hints of toffee and nut, nice bitterness to it, sweet finish.

Sep 1, 2008 Draught at Empire St. Building location. Pours a clear red colour with an off-white head and decent lacing. Aroma is mostly sweet malt. Likewise with the flavour. Palate is smooth.

Aug 11, 2008 Light fruits, light hops, some bitterness, and caramel malts. Crisp and refreshing but not all that flavorful. It is beer, but thats about as far as it goes.

Jul 7, 2008 Part of the sampler at Heartland. Pours amber/red. Kind of a bland beer though. A little bit of malt and not that much else. I thought it was a little watery.

Jun 29, 2008 A Sim rate (tap at Heartland Brewery, Union Square): Toffee and caramel popcorn aroma. Slight sweetness in addition to the grains. Nice malts, but not much of it. Good lace and head (though it’s been sat there a while). Amber/red in colour. Bland flavour that’s a bit metallic, tart and grainy. It’s not one of their best.
