KIRIN HEARTLAND

---

All four of
Japan's major
brewers offer a
premium beer,
with Yebisu by
Sapporo the most
famous. These
premium beers
are often quite
good.
Interestingly,
Kirin has three:
Brau Meister
(draft only),
Beer Shokunin,
and Heartland.
Unfortunately,
Kirin does
little promotion
for Heartland.
Packaged in an
attractive green
500 ml bottle
with molded
logo, Heartland
is Kirin's
oldest 100% malt
beer. Deep
yellow with a
balanced aroma
of pale malt and
floral hops, it
is rich yet
quenching, with
a satisfying
richness that
recalls the
Kirin Lager of
25 years ago.
Slightly more
expensive than
Kirin's regular
beer, it is
worth picking up
as a great
summer
refresher.
