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."

Initial hoppy flavor with some fruit and hop smell. A little cloudy with an off white head. Pretty solid lager ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Decent beer. No way a 90 though. A little better than a Sam Adams boston lager (tasted side by side) straight forward grain malt with creamy mouth feel.

Bottiglia 355 ml comprata al Mondo Birra Di Max a Mestre. Schiuma fine alta e mediamente persistente, colore giallo ambrato, aroma luppolato e citrico, al palato corpo leggero e buona carbonazione, buon equilibrio di malti e luppoli, con finale amaro e secco, direi una buona lager, 3 spanne sopra a molte lager europee.

355ml bottle, poured into La Chouffe tulip. A: Bronze copper, slight haze, large off white head, decent lacing plus retention. S: Citrus, floral and slightly milky. T: Fruity, floral, bitter finish. M: Crisp, light body, well carbonated and smooth, very easy drinker. O: One of the best lagers around, reminded me of a well hopped Kellerbier.

Es una cerveza de un color ámbar muy limpio. El aroma a malta y lúpulo ligeramente cítrico es muy suave. El sabor es muy equilibrado entre la malta típica de las lager y un final lupulado también ligero. Es, por supuesto, muy ligera y fresca. En mi opinión, teniendo en cuenta el estilo es una cerveza estupenda. Las he probado mejores, pero también valían el doble.

Pint @ bar. Clear copper body, white liw head. Pretty nice blend of makt & syrup, but a too bitter/sour finish. / Rated on the go

UPDATED: MAY 15, 2013 Really great tasting lager. Strong flavours, roasty taste. Nuts and floral character. Pretty damn good.
