Brooklyn Ale

Wood like aroma. Solid body. Quite dry. Flavor is more wood. Finishes with a punchy bitterness.

This is a pale ale? Pour was a dark gold with no head. Aroma of smoke and malt. Taste of smokiness with a strong malt backbone. Maybe a tad of hops in the aftertaste.Thick mouthfeel with little carbonation.

12 oz. Bottle: honey amber pour with a faint off-white head that fades some but leaves lots of lacing, faint hop floral fragrance, sweet toasty and nutty malt aromas with faint caramel, taste of malt with toast and faint caramel, dry finish with a nice bite, tasty drink.

Bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville NC, this beer was good from the start. Drank easy with a slight aroma of malts and hops, a very nice beer but one that shouldn’t be rated higher than some of the other outstanding beers.

Pop the lid for an aroma reminesent of uncleaned showers that may have mold growing in there. Don’t ask me how I know. Pour is a little darker and more brown than the ubiquitous pale yellow american beer. However, this color is more like Yuengling lager than a dark beer. About as good as flavor goes when compared to other EPA that I have tasted. I must say tho this is better than Saranac Pale Ale. Not bad for a backup but too muchfor a session. Finish is not oppresive and I don’t think I can detect much bitterness on the finsh. The finish does have a sort of hoppy bite forming some kind of odd fruit impact on the back of the throat that hangs for a while.

My local taphouse says "Some beers you date, this one you marry". I think thats a good representation. A good pale ale that goes does easy and isn’t too heavy. I find its easy to convince a lot of people to switch to this from drinks like Bass or Sam Adams.

Aroma of salty vegetables with light Euro-lager sweetness. Pours a transparent amber with a decent off-white head that lasts a minute or so. Okay, this is just wrong. Tastes like green beans with some Euro-lager sweetness in the background and a slightly sour finish. A little thin and watery.

Clear, amber/gold appearance with an average size, off white head and light lacing. Low keyed, biscuity aroma. Toasted malt taste, well balanced by the flowery, mildly spiced hops. Meduim-bodied, moderately carbonated mouthfeel, leading to a dry, affably bitter finish.
