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."

pour rich golden with a decent but collapsing foam, quite active carbonation. The aroma is hoppy with some malty bready notes and this one goes down easily. the flavour is subtle malt with some hop highlights..

Pours a very clear copper/gold with a nice white head that leaves light lacing. Not a huge fan of the aroma, very malty but also slightly skunky. Taste is a whole other story. nice malt notes, crisp and refreshing with enough of a hop balance that adds nice floral notes and keeps it from being overly sweet. After taste sours a little but is not terribly long lasting. Quality beer especially as far as the style goes.

Pours an amber color with a white head. Aroma of sweet malt and citrusy hops. Taste is very similar. Medium body with a crisp finish.

In bottle ... not bad, aroma was a little hoppy. Nice body, smooth lager with hoppy notes (almost a little sweet). Good but not great

Bendrixian (455) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - APR 15, 2012
clear amber colour with lots of bubbles. very floral note, some what hoppy and one can’t miss that pilsner like grassy note. somewhat bitter note. light body, quick finish but has a certain malted backbone or hoppy flavour that gives it a little weight.

On tap. Disappointing. Mild hop flavor, not much aroma, so-so taste. Decent lager but nothing special.

JK (3506) - Uptown, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - APR 14, 2012
Amber color. Light malts in the aroma, and dry malt in the flavor with a medium palate. Drinkable enough that you can serve it to friends who don’t like good beer, but not as flavorful as the best Vienna beers, no matter what the percentile says.

Copper clear in color with a small white head. Smell of bread and hops. Smooth tasting, crisp and clean, flavorful finish. Excellent lager.

355 ml bottle. Nice amber colour with small head. Aroma is malty. Flavour is malt, grapefruit, hops. Really drinkable.

HopTsing (158) - Sandston, Virginia, USA - APR 13, 2012
From the bottle poured a coppery colored brew with thin head. All hops at the nose. Tasting mainly of malt with a bit of hops sneaking around in the background. Medium body.
