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.

Bottled 750ml. -Cloudy orange/yellow coloured, medium to big white head, spicy fruity nose. Lively carbonation. Very fruity (orange and apricot), yeasty and spicy (mainly coriander) with notes of vanilla. Alcohol is discreet, just mild touch in the finish. Typical, decent and enjoyable BSA.

0.75l - Looked the part, gold color shown brightly, nice head. Smelled the part, yeast, hops and malt. Palate was missing something, that sour, berry fruit hit Belgian signature.

0.75l bottle that ogivlado shared with me and heavy (thanks!)
Poured a hazy golden body with a thick huge, very thick white head that went away quite slowly. Fine, typically Belgian nose, bubblegu, agrumes, dust... quite nice, and the same goes for the taste. It’s a nice fruity Belgian ale with the typical spicy lightly agrumey notes on a fine sweet chewy maltiness. Very light hoppy bitterness. Some carroty notes near the end detract a little. No real alcohol in my opinion. A good Belgian strong.

Poured a hazy murky yellow with massive white head. Smelled of hops and yeast. Tasted of cinnamon, coffee and bitter chocolate. Alcohol isn’t apparent. Easy to drink.

Tried a sample at Brewfest Tallahassee. Some nice esters, though a bit light for the style, though yeast does come through slightly.

Bottle at the Bloomington Beer Festival. Poured a slightly hazy gold with a thick white head. Aroma had a nice orange rind aroma with undertones of sweet yeast and even a bit of tartness. Flavor had nice yeasty and grainy notes with an undertone of citrus. A slight metallic taste was underlying.

Pours a hazy blonde with a huge head and some lace. The aroma is spicy with some orange and yeasty notes with some lemon rind. The flavor is spicy and mildly hoppy, generally dry with some fruity yeast notes. Tasty.
