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."

This is one of my favorite lagers I have ever had. It has a nice color with a decent head. The aroma has a lot of hops. The flavor is strong and lasting into the very nice bitter aftertaste. This is a great beer to go all night with. And it goes very well with my favorite scotch, THE GLENLIVETT.

Can courtesy of SantaTy5592 Pours a golden color with a little haziness in it and a giant foamy off white head. Aroma is citrus, bread, hops, caramel. This brew is light, hoppy, citrusy, malt, bitter yet easy drinking. Much better than expected.

12 oz bottle poured into a lager glass. Poured a clear gold with a huge sparse white head. Aroma was piney hops and some malt. Flavor is hoppy with a good malt balance. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle. I love that Brooklyn’s flagship lager is a Vienna and not a pilsner. The aroma on this is fantastic, floral with citrus fruit and fresh breadiness. Nice extra hop bitterness for the style makes it a vienna standout. I taste caramel with a strong, lingering bitter finish. The head is still strong half way through drinking it.

Pour was golden with a white head. Citrus aroma and flavor. Some carbonation came through, I was not impressed by this at all. Found the beer to be little better than most macro brews.

Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Medium dark amber color with a large frothy beige head. Aromas of malt and lightly spicey hop. Near medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor is light caramel, and a touch of citrus sour - which might be the hop. It doesn’t finish all that bitter, but it is well balanced. It’s a very tasty drink.
