Brooklyn Local 1

Always a good pour. Easily accessible in my whereabouts. Golden color. Yeasty aroma and flavor.

Bottle, Rainhall Drinks, Barnoldswick. Bit disappointed by this. Yellow colour with a decent sized dissipating pillowy off white head. Aroma had notes of orange peel, yeast and caramel malt. Pretty Belgian in the flavour. Yeasty, boozy, sweetish malt and ultimately fairly standard stuff. Drying finish. LOOCALLL??!! Ha, a local drink for local people ?!

Cork did not want to stay in, scared me and my wife along with the dog too. Pours a clear golden color with a gigantic head. Aroma is spicy and citrusy. Flavor is the same. Pretty good beer.

Sample at February 27, 2009 beer club meeting. Semi-clear yellow with a very frothy white head. Very citrusy aroma. Flavor is spicy, but goes down easy. More tingly on the tongue than most real Belgians, almost like they used mineral water in the boil. Not a big fan...

cork shot right out. light golden, translucent, bubbly.... huge head. fruity belgian yeast nose. taste follows suit.... light, bubbly, fruity, and belgian. kinda like a triple. good take on this sytle by BK

75cl bottle. Light gold with a white head. yeasty and lightly fruity aroma, with a smooth malt sweetness. The flavor is a touch on the sweet side, with some yeasty flavor and light apple. Adding the yeast smoothes out the flavor, making it more rounded and malty. Medium-light bodied with a bit too much carbonation. Alright, but not possessing the complexity of better golden ales.

Stylish 750 ml bottle. Slightly cloudy golden color, huge rich foamy head. Spicy aroma with lemon, pepper and some alcohol. Full flavor with more fruit, spices, some yeast and a malty finish. Medium-full body, high carbonation. A very nice beer indeed.

Serving: Armored Car of a bottle here. You could drop this thing from a ten-story building and not have it shatter. I read once that this bottle is a work of art and I agree. Poured into a smallish snifter glass. A: Pours a hazy deep gold, with a huge frothy white head that doesn’t go anywhere. Bubbles rushing every which way. Excellent lacing. There aren’t just lace rings, this thing is leaving CHUNKS of lace stuck to the glass. S: Sour/sweet candy aroma right as you pop the cork, citrus, red grapes, malt, banana esters linger. It is begging me to drink it, but I don’t want my lips to ruin this perfect head of foam just yet. One more whiff...So complex. T: Sweet malt flavor up front, yeasty, fruity (tangerine), and a tad sour. Delicate finish reminds me of Hennepin, but not as bitter. M: Medium bodied. For 9% it really doesn’t show up. Just a slight tingle of carbonation. D: Very drinkable for 9% abv. I do not think the 750ml is going to be enough! I should have gotten more when I had the chance. Refreshing.
