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.

Bottle poured hazy golden and perfect white creamy head. Post the decompressed head, the carbonation lasts throughout the entire beer. Nice bread malt with cutting citrus hops.

unclemattie (3244) - Georgia, USA - FEB 26, 2011
Brooklyn Local 1 Caged & corked, 750mL Brooklyn bottle. Aged. (1017, 1st batch) Pours hazy orange color. Lots of carbonation. Aroma of spice and orange zest, a hint of pressed apples, some wheat malt, and wild yeast. Very fizzy mouthfeel. Lots of sweetness, tastes of candy sugar, light citrus, floral honey, and a touch of spice. Finishes with orange flavors and honey sweetness. Turned out to age very well. 01/12/2011

I’m transferring ratings from another beer app to this one. My tasting notes wouldn’t be accurate at this point since they weren’t captured at the time.

A truly fantastic bier. Pours a nice light golden yellow with a very distinct Citrus, floral, earthy nose. It is nice and crisp on the palate with a very nice spice and almost bready. Finish is superb and subtle. Would be fantastic with a roast chicken.

Dixonian (940) - Dallas, Texas, USA - JAN 31, 2011
Golden color with dense head - extremely clear. Lots of yeast aromas as well as tropical fruit. Very refreshing and bubbly on my palate - insanely drinkable. Very impressive, especially for the brewer. An excellent American take on a classic Belgian style.

johnnnniee (909) - Bedford, New Hampshire, USA - JAN 29, 2011
Pours a clear pale yellow with a bubbly white head that’s a full 3 fingers thick. Aroma is of spicy yeast, very fruity nose. Taste is spicy funky yeast, some more spices and fruit. Carbonation is high. I hardly notice the 9% alcohol. Nice spicy Belgian brew, another fine offering for Brooklyn
