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."

Copper color with a thick offwhite head. Grain and caramel malt aroma. Great caramel malt character with floral hops.

This is a very drinkable and good tasting beer. I had this on tap at a local restaurant. It had a touch of caramel and bread taste. IT was suttle and good.

Had a bottle on the train ride home from city today. I’ve had lots of times and know it pours a nice amber color. Its malty with some caramel notes and made the train ride filled with drunken yankee fans somewhat bearable.

Maybe one of the best amber lagers ever. deep amber color with a light head and the just right sized head. The aroma was caramel malt and a sweetness and slight fruitiness like pineapple. The taste was a light bitter and balanced sweetness. Nothing wrong can be found with this beer.

An enjoyable sessional amber lager. Nice malt character with a touch of caramel sweetness, and just enough bright hop flavor and aroma to keep it balanced and alive. There is a note of wet stone minerality, which does not detract, but should be considered for pairings.

Poobah (164) - New Orleans, Louisiana, USA - MAY 5, 2010
Poured a light amber color with a thin lasting head. Pleasant hoppy nose with some malty sweetness. Malty start with a creamy, mildly carbonated palate trailed by a lightly hopped finished. Very well-balanced.

On tap @ White Horse. A refresher from a long journey. Thanks Martin. The colour is very good Czech pilsner style. Lots of golden glow. The head is minimal and nothing special. I get a massive caramel body and light fruits in a descent but not substantially hoppy beer. Yeast strain is good but not up there with Orval and Westy. I know this is well made and consistent. I had to have it on tap from a long hard slog. Cheers Martin for quenching my first. This SHOULD be a global success and a mega seller but some reason isn’t there yet.
