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."

Nice drinkable lager. Light Amber color, clear, Med high carbonation, bitter finish and bubbly. Nice nose of grassy/floral hops, carmels, bit of nuts. Cross between a Sam Adams Lager and a Morlein OTR ale. Well done.

PaulHegedus (505) - Ontario, CANADA - MAY 20, 2010
Bottle. I like that Brooklyn’s flagship lager is a vienna. It’s amber in the glass with a thin tan head. Hop forward aroma with grass, caramel and light oak. Medium bodied. Toffee in the flavour with moderate bitterness, more oak and grass, something like wildflower with biscuit. Finish is medium with solid bitterness.

kseecs16 (1084) - Naperville, Illinois, USA - MAY 19, 2010
Draught. Pours an effervescent golden brown with a creamy off-white foamy head. Light malty aroma. Packs a decent flavor with dry malty presence and a slightly bitter grassy finish. Medium bodied.

Steeeve (305) - Ambler, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 18, 2010
Nice deep amber pour with a thin off-white head. Mild floral hop aroma with some bread or yeast smells. Slightly hoppy with some notes of caramel malts. Pretty tasty overall and I’d drink it again, but I wouldnt go out of my way to get it. Nothing special.
