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."

Det här var för några år sedan en öl som jag faktiskt gillade och drack en del av men inte nu längre. Jag tycker att den här ölen är tråkig med en tråkig smak och dessutom blaskig. Visst det här är bara en lager och det bör man kanske ha i åtanke men det kan vara så att min besvikelse tillintetgjorde det perspektivet.

Dry tasting lager, but with a sweetness to it, although it is nothing special.

Just run of the still stuff with no outstanding characteristics. I had hopes for something more from the Brooklyn Brewery based on their other fine offerings.

Nearly taste like a brown sugared sweet potato, very slight sharpness. Just the right amount of weight in its mouth feel

Bottle. Clear amber with a light white head. Fruit and malt aroma. Flavour is sweet, creamy malt with some bitter hops that add balance. This is a touch above most ’lagers’ and is very drinkable.

Very smooth tasting lager with a rich ale like quality, a nice surprise and a beer I’d have again
