Commercial Description:
Brooklyn Lager, the Brewery's flagship label, is New York's "hometown" beer, brewed to a pre-Prohibition recipe that dates back to the days when Brooklyn was the brewing capital of the East Coast. Brooklyn Lager has won numerous awards. Wrote Michael Jackson in the Simon & Schuster Pocket Guide to Beer: "The dry-hopped, fresh, flowery, firm, flavourful, Brooklyn Lager **-*** started well, in 1988, and has gained in character since."

Bottle sample at a beer festival in kibbutz Ma’abarot, May ’08. Deep golden with a small white head. Aroma of slightly floral hops. Flavor starts sweetish with some malt, caramel and bready notes, and and finishes bitter and hoppy, a bit sharp. Medium-bodied. Rather nice.

Beer poured a golden amber with thick white head. Aromas of hops, flowers. Tastes like caramel malt and hops. Touch of bread dough. Best lager beer I have ever had.

On tap at the Field House in Phila. Dark but clear mahogany color with firm head, nice looking beer. Mild malty aroma, a hint of hops. The flavor was doughy and caramel malts without being too sweet. The malts were well balanced with earthy and bitter hops, but not overpowering. Medium body, well balanced flavors, and a dry finish made this a very drinkable and enjoyable quaff. I hope it is as good from the bottle as I plan on buying a case. Well done lager.

i had 10 of theses in a session the other weekend .This is an unassuming Lager,which tastes more akin to an earthy pale ale ,despite not being pale or an ale if that aint too nonsensical.
The most important thingis ,is that I enjoyed sinking Brooklyn. Handfulls of floral ’y hops. Sorta dusty caramell . Definitely ’flowery’, as they talk of on the label. Nice.
