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."

BeerBeforeH20 (47) - Minnesota, USA - MAY 1, 2013
Smells of sweet malts and a hint of citrusy hops . Flavor follows suit with the aroma, and has a really good finish. Recommend trying this if you have not, would love to try this on tap

olliejobbins (329) - Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - APR 29, 2013
on tap everywhere in NY. like others have said, just an excellent lager. has far more flavour than others. looks more like an english bitter than a lager. taste is pretty fragrant and fruity.

Westkyoto77 (135) - Kyoto, JAPAN - APR 29, 2013
Bottle. Tastiest lager I can remember. Great aromas of malt and floral hops. Full flavor, but also really refreshing. Could not get enough of this- where has it been all my life?

VictorSA (52) - NORWAY - APR 28, 2013
UPDATED: APR 29, 2013 På ølsmaking med Garrett Oliver. Mørk ravfarvet med hvitt skum. Aroma av brent sukker og fårikål. Smaker også rosin. Fin friskhet og grønn humlebitterhet, god kullsyre. God ettersmak. Smakfult og ganske lett. Minner om bokkøl. (Den Gode Nabo, 28.04.13)

Gorm (99) - sandnes, NORWAY - APR 28, 2013
Lett godt øl. Lite skum og lite carbonering. Smak av sitrusfrukter. Et godt alternativ istedenfor standard pils eller lager. Nr. 28 Pizza Pub.
