Commercial Description:
In Williamsburg, Brooklyn, we forge barley malt and hops from Germany, aromatic raw sugar from Mauritius and yeast from Belgium into our latest beer, Brooklyn Local 1. Behind the full golden color you'll find an alluring aroma, a dynamic complex of flavors. Belgian flair, Brooklyn fortitude and a dusting of our special yeast. To create this beer, we use the old technique of 100% bottle re-fermentation, a practice now rare even in Europe. It gives this beer a palate of unusual depth. Enjoy it locally or globally, as an aperitif or with your favorite dishes. It is particularly nice with spicy seafood and with fine cheeses.

From the Bottle at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 26/09/2009 Sour fruit aroma. Carbonation. Big white head. Clear golden coloured strong in alcohol and hoppy with a little bitterness in a crisp and creamy yeasty malt finish.

Poured from a 750ml bottle into a Duvel tulip. Poured cloudy gold with an everlasting inch thick head. Notes of banana, doughy malts, and a general fruitiness. Crisp and dry with a nice sting of carbonation. Pretty impressive.

Blurry dark orange beer with a tight and longlasting, large-bubbled head, that leaves a lot of beautiful lace behind. The aroma is fruity with lots of herbs; peach, nectar, apricot, syrup, coriander, clove and honey. The taste has quite a lot of malts, light hops, fruits and yeast. The mouthfeel is a tad too carbonated, but that eases a little when the beer warms up.

28th June 2008. Light amber cloudy beer. Very dry light palate. Some subtle fruit tones. A bit acrid. Not much to recommend!

Bottle @ the HotD dock sale... Poured golden with a beige, foamy head. Malty with spiced yeast esters on the nose. Wheat malts, grains, hops. With a light fruit, tangy finish.

Smells spicy and fruity, bananas. Appearance, big strong head, murky golden peach colour. Beautiful palate, is smooth but not extremely interesting for a beer of this character. Very complex fruity flavours with lots of spice. Reminds me of a super strong and flavourful Leffe Blonde. Good brew.

31/10 0.75 l bottle courtesy of ogivlado, huge thanks for sharing! It poured hazy golden body with bigger head. Nice belgian yeast aroma, strong and cloying, consisting mostly of banana and orange, but some other fruits and spices as well. Flavor was even better, yeasty and spicy with finest honey and vanilla malts. Fruity in the orange, other citrus and apricot way. Full in body with tasty long, slightly sweetish finish. Very well made, typical belgian style blond ale which I enjoyed a lot!
