| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 30, 2007 Pours a nice medium ruby brown color with a small off-white head, slowly subsides. Aroma is surprizing. I think fuggle with some citrus. Light bodied but the malt sweetness does come out in the taste but not much as the hops are the main player here. does remind me of other Brooklyn beers but this is a nice original brown. beerlady (451), lucerne, Switzerland
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 29, 2007 has a smell of gewürztraminer like the brooklyn lager but here the smell is not so discrete but seems me a bit artificial, some hops and malt too
in the taste the same notes
aftertaste bittersweet and that a bit artificial seeming note
stronger than brooklyn lager, but not better pintsize (1042), Austin, Texas, USA

Thin, weak brown color. Heavy malt aroma with hints of rubbing alcohol in the smell. Malty, slightly medicinal flavor. Not great, not horrible, just highly average. Very watery palate. llbjr77 (72), Largo, Florida, USA

Aroma is very sweet and malty. Very nice aroma. Taste is thin, watery and way too sweet. Tastes like candy. It needs more malt flavor. FLnative80 (174), Orlando, Florida, USA
