Brooklyn Ale

Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: English Pale Ale
Brooklyn, New York USA

Serve in English pint, Shaker

Golden color,mild malt aroma, no bitterness with light carbonation. Rather plain and light ........but drinkable. Crisp dry finish, plain and simple a very average plain drinkable ale,

Has a sweet malt taste and is very crisp and smooth with a slight bitter finish. A light ale that is refreshing and drinkable.

Bottle. The pour was a light to medium cloudy brownish amber with a large (2-3 finger) off white frothy head that was fully diminishing and left very little lacing. The aroma was of a light biscuit malt, a mild floral hop and a doughy yeast with notes of banana and caramel. The taste was a malty bitter sweet with a note of caramel early on then had a nice mild bitter hoppy flavor with a touch of fruitiness at the end with the flavor only sticking around for a short while. Mouthfeel was light in body with a slight metallic feel, watery yet a little dry in texture with a prickly carbonation. Overall a nice crisp and refreshing beer that had a nice mild hop finish, which just enhanced the drinkability of this brew.

Review from notes at World of Beer - Fort Myers on 10/30/11. Poured on draft into a shaker pint glass. Appearance: Pours a medium caramel brown with gold highlights and a 1/2 finger foamy white head. Decent lacing. Smell: Pale malt with English hops. Taste: Light touch of English hops up front followed by pale malt in the middle before ending with a mildly sweet finish. Aftertaste is bittersweet. Very light flavor overall. Not much going on here. Mouthfeel: Light-to-medium-bodied with a decent amount of carbonation. Drinkability: Good drinkability. Goes down smooth. Overall: Decent beer overall. While I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, I wouldn’t avoid it either.

12oz Bottle To Pint Glass. Golden color with virtually no head. Light hops in both the aroma and flavor. Flavor is bitter with notes of bread

Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Carmel colored brew with thin head. Nice aroma of sweet malts, floral hops, a little fruit. Taste is a sweet malts with rather harsh hops up front, transitioning to a rather harsh hoppiness in the finish. A hint of pepper at the end, a hint of sour fruit at the start. Somewhat watery. Thin palate. Worth a try but not going of the favorites list...

Bottle: pours a dark amber copper color. It has a great floral hop aroma. And a sweet flavor that ends in just enough bitterness to even it out. Good beer, but a little boring for me.

Poured from a bottle. Appearance is a dark copper with a thin white head of foam. Aroma is light hops and malt. Taste is mildly bitter with a nice apple taste. Finish is dry and bitter.
