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."

Carabia (35) - Itä-Raasepori, FINLAND - NOV 15, 2009
Bright copper coloured beer with small but tight and creamy head that leaves a lot of lace. The aroma is dominated by a rich, piney hops, with some butter, malts and alcohol. The taste is crisp, lemony hops, little hops and nuts.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - NOV 9, 2009
Bottle: Pours a nice orange amber color with a nice white head. The nose is fragrant with some nice juicy hops, the light maltiness lets the hops come out, even as light as they are, they taste very fresh and citrusy. The flavor has a great balance of body; bready biscuity malts and a floral cascade note in the tail. Very nice body but not heavy, amazing drinkability and quaffability. This is a damn good beer all-around!

mesperon (205) - Hillsdale, New Jersey, USA - NOV 8, 2009
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.

JulienHuxley (1061) - Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 27, 2009
Bottle. Wo! quite a nose here, strong piney hops (hints of celery here) quite intriguing. Taste is hoppy, pine pretty heavy for a lager.

AmEricanbrew (4077) - roam, Louisiana, USA - OCT 22, 2009
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.

jefcon (1104) - Arlington, Virginia, USA - OCT 18, 2009
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.

rmussman (1330) - California, USA - OCT 16, 2009
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.
