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."

Clear light copper, foamy head that hangs around for a while, nice lacing. Aroma of resiny, piney hops. Very crisp to begin, prickly carbonation and bitterness on the front of the tongue, very lively. A bit malty with a hint of caramel and bread Finishes with just the right bitterness, and a citrus hop bite. Flowery, resiny hops in the aftertaste. This beer gave me a while new faith in lagers after I had written them of forever.

Bottle. Wo! quite a nose here, strong piney hops (hints of celery here) quite intriguing. Taste is hoppy, pine pretty heavy for a lager.

Brilliant amber color with a light tan head. Big fruity apricot/peach aromas with grainy pale malts. Rich, frothy mouthfeel. Refreshing flavors of grainy malt grist with lightly sweet honey.

A decent, light and lively lager. Floral aromas with a hint of caramel. Finely balanced. Much more malt on the palate -- cereal grain, wheat, slightly toasted. Dry hop finish.

Sampled in Boston. A pretty well made lager, fresh with mild hopping and malts. Drinks smooth. Has a hint of herbs that are nice and crisp. Very nice brew.
