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."

Pours light amber with a very thin head and some lacing. Aroma is Initially sweetly floral and opens up to some yeastyness. Fairly dry with a round, vibrant mouthfeel. Taste is tart fruits with some herbs and winter vegetables and a bit of yeast. Finish is less impressive but is dry and hoppy. A nice beer!

Pours light amber with an off white head. Aroma is a blend of caramel malts and citrusy hops. Flavor is caramel, with a nice citrusy and earthy hop presence.

Che buona questa birra! davvero non mi aspettavo di trovarla così piacevolmente facile da bere. Dal colore ambrato ha una schiuma sfuggente, ma è negli aromi che più mi colpisce per il suo stile, agrumi e luppolo su tutti. al palato è dapprima dolce, di frutta, poi più amara. un buon corpo. per i miei standard è più che promossa.

This weas a mainstay for me when I used to travel to Penn. and NY. Glad to find it at Gil’s Market in Cooper Township, MI. Medium amber pour from a 12 oz bottle. Pleasant aroma dominated by hops. Flavor is light on the malt with modest hoppiness in the finish. Very quaffable, very tasty, great stuff.

dark amber color with some malt aroma. mouthfeel is quite thin, but makes up for it in the taste. good amount of aroma hops with only a hint of bittering. certainly an excellent easy-drinking beer that provides some depth of taste. reminded me of a Samuel Adams Boston Lager, but would have to compare side-by-side to truly make a comparison

12 oz. bottle pours a dirty peach with off white head. Initially, the aroma of hops pushes out of the pour, followed by a gentle wafting of caramel. Medium bodied with solid but not overwhelming carbonation. Flavors of crisp leafy florals in the front palate, warming to a citrus malt in the middle with a finish of earthy woods and hops. Slight citrus aftertaste. Enjoyable and versatile, this might become one of my go-to session beers as it’s a little lighter for me than SNPA.

12 oz. bottle from Publix. Pours a light yellowish amber. Grassy fairly hoppy nose for a lager with a decent light amber malt background. Bitter upfront with a slightly sweet finish. All of it mild but refreshing and drinkable all the same. Good for a session.

Sampled on tap at the brewery. Pours light brown/dark orange in color with a thin white head. Smells of hops, citrus, various light malts. Taste is pretty much the same, quite nice on tap but not too memorable.
