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."

Quite good lager. Fruity and flowery European-lager-tasting hops added to a full bodied American lager. It tasted familiar but much hoppier. It worked and is very refreshing.

Bottled. Wow. It’s Christmas and I bought this for my Uncle who is more of a Lager style beer drinker. Was not expecting this much. Amber in color with small but lasting head. Aroma is bready and sweet caramel (overall some sweet malt feel) balanced excellently by floral hops and earthier tones. Flavor is earthy hops, and dry-hopped floral, balanced back by sweeter caramel but remains dry throughout. Big bite for lager at end. A Christmas miracle. ALSO my 420th rating....I can’t believe the video they played after I saved it!

Bottle. Pours amber brown with thick rocky head and lots of lacing. Tastes sweet with some toasty and floral notes. Great session beer.

Tonkun (171) - New York, USA - DEC 19, 2009
In NY from a bottle. Nice frothy top with dark golden and copper color. A bit of citrus, toast and hey. Bubbles seem more refined and creamier than most lager. Well balanced finished which longer than expected finished with nice bitterness, malt and hey. One of better lager around.

Fred82 (1759) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - DEC 7, 2009
12 oz bottle. Pours clear amber with a small head that is short lived. Nose is quite malty and citrusy. Some piny hops and some grain. Malts are sweet and chewy.Some caramel and a bit spicy. Taste is nicely fruity and malty. Some sweetness but not too much. Finish is neither dry nor sweet. Small hints of citrusy hops all along. Finish is a tiny bit hoppy and very fruity. Highly drinkable, tasty and refreshing. A bit more hops would be great but perhaps it once had more (I doubt this is a fresh bottle).
