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."

Pours amber in color, has nice hoppy smell to it. Very nice hoppy bite in taste and goes down smooth. Overall good for its style.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - FEB 18, 2003
A deep red beer with a fine slightly orange head. Very lovely fruity aroma with sweet malt notes. The flavor lacks a little compared to the aroma - a little watery to start off, but then a sweet nice bitterness hits the back of the tongue and lingers for a long time. A very nice lager.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAR 17, 2005
(Bottle 35,5 cl) Quite dark - and very pretty - amber colour, limited head. The top quality aroma hops are revealed already in the nose and certainly when the first drops hit the tastebuds. Nice bitternes, but first and foremost aroma, with a fine malty body. A fine example of an excellent microbrewed American Lager.

yespr (20653) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - SEP 27, 2007
35.5 cL bottle. Pours deep orange, clear, with a slight off-white head. Fruity hops aroma, slight caramel malt. Malty flavour, slight roasted with a minor bread like note. Fruity and bitter hops join in a bit later, given a rather dry flavour into the finish with a minor refreshing fruity note. Slight soapy mouthfeel/flavour.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - FEB 4, 2007
Bottled. Clearamber, small head, Distinct crystal malt aroma with some canteloupe-like hops. Fairly sweet with the expectedly clean, hard mouthfeel goes well with the flowery aromtic hops. Light-medium bodied, medium bitternes. Enjoyable

MiP (11256) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAY 9, 2005
Bottle. Lovely acidic, hoppy aroma, a little perfumy. Bright copper colour, unstable white head. Flavour starts off quite bitter, turning flowery and acidic and finishing with a nice bitterness. This beer is very nicely hopped on all levels.
