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.

Great "plop" when opening the elegant bottle. Cloudy, golden beer with huge white and lasting head. Aroma is complex and great: flowers and fruits, peppery spiciness, yeast and coriander. Flavour: flowers, tangy, orange, and peppery spiciness. Slippery, "easy", nice carbonation and warming hint of alcohol makes this beer nice to drink. Brooklyn Local 1 is refreshing, complex and spicy beer.

Sampled at a beer and food pairing with Garritt Oliver. Poured yellow golden color with white head. Aroma was lemon, yeast, and spice. Medium mouthfeel. Flavors followed the nose and was very much in line with a typical strong belgian ale. Overall a nice brew.

750ml bottle at Novare Res. This pours a cloudy yellow color with a big foamy white head. Tons of carbonation in this beer! Aroma of orange peel, lemons, and fruity yeasts. Flavor is a sting of yeast with some light malt sweetness. There’s a hint of alcohol in the finish along with some fruity grape-like notes. Not a whole of lot of risks taken here, but a pretty standard tripple.

Pours a cloudy light orange with a nice white head. Aroma of wheat, citrus, honey and malt. Nice malty, citrus, spice and yeasty taste -very solid Belgian. Won’t go wrong with this one.

Clear golden yellow with much carbon dioxide. Nice cloudy and smooth white head. Aroma is nicely belgian style: malty, fruity, yeast and spices. Flavor is slightly banana-like, yeasty, spicy with a bit apple and alcohol. Palate is smootlhy carbonated, medium-bodied and a bit alcoholic.
