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."

La robe est légèrement cuivrée. La mousse blanche résiste pour un instant, laissant derrière elle une large dentelle. Au nez, le malt est légèrement grillé et laisse s’échapper des parfums de houblons qui se signalent par une certaine complexité : quelque chose comme des herbes avec des épices et des pointes terreuses. Très agréable. Le goût est fidèle aux arômes avec la présence de bonnes saveurs de grains maltés qui sont rattrapées par des saveurs de houblons et une amertume juste à point. En bouche, le liquide est de moyenne corpulence avec une effervescence modérée et une texture douce. La finale est à l’image de nos découvertes, c’est-à-dire maltée et houblonnée. Petite présence soulignée de l’alcool en arrière-goût. En résumé, pas mauvais du tout!

The aroma is grainy, gassy. I was caught by surprise thinking it would be a light brew. The color is amber. There was a 1 finger head that dissipated and covered glass in nice, froth lace. Taste is hoppy, carmel, and slightly sweet. low malt. Tastes alot like a samuel adams boston lager, but much better.

rodenbach99 (1750) - Longueuil, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 16, 2010
Bouteille de 355 ml. Classique parmi les classiques de micro-brasserie américaine. Cette lager est tout simplement irrésistible. Garett Oliver propose ici une bière blonde dorée passablement foncée, en ouverture le houblon transperce le nez mais avec le temps le malt se fait de plus en plus sentir. En bouche l’amertume est bien présente, agréable. C’est franchement équilibré, belle bière agréable. (un gros merci au Slovaque)

abemorsten (1201) - Randaberg, NORWAY - OCT 16, 2010
Bottle at Cardinal 15.9.2010. Pours clear golden with a 3 finger thick short lived head of light brown color. Good lacing. Roasted malts, dark dried fruits, caramel, alcohol and wood in the aroma. Malty sweet with some bitterness and even a hint of acidity. Light body, dry, gentle carbonation.

DYCSoccer17 (2734) - Woodland, California, USA - OCT 13, 2010
22 ounce sample on tap at a bar in terminal 5 at JFK airport. Aroma has some grassy hints along with some metallic hops and a light amount of pine notes. Nicely aromatic. Transparent copper body with a foamy, off-yellowish head and really nice lacing. Starts with a spicy, earthy hop flavoring, before this becomes somewhat malty in the middle. Almost a rye maltiness is present with light toastiness. Kind of a strange malt bill. Pretty light, and not overly chewy. Not so much flavor on the back end of this beer.

AlbertC (264) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - OCT 10, 2010
Aroma is dough, barnyard, sweet flowers/fruits and some hops. Taste is dough, malts, some caramel malts and finishes off bitter and slightly metallic. Overall a robust, fresh, flowery yet malty lager.

mtjoseph (222) - Murderapolis, Minnesota, USA - OCT 10, 2010
Tap at the Pencil Factory in Brooklyn, NY. Pours a dark golden orange with a big head. Aroma of sweet toasted malt and nuts. The taste starts off super sweet with notes of nuts and apricots roll into a slightly tinny/metallic finish. Fairly light bodied with medium carbonation. A nice lager, but east to get burned out on this after a few.

taphandle (991) - Texas, USA - OCT 10, 2010
Light amber, frothy head. Surprising aroma of lightly grassy hops - probably because of the balance with the malt. Taste is slightly toasty malt and pine hops. Finish is a great bitterness. It’s a good lager.
