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.

Pours a golden wheat color with a white stable head. Smells of delicious fruits. Tastes fairly sweet with the alcohol masked very nicely. Tastes very refreshing on america’s birthday. Very reminiscent of a mid summer’s night. The sweetness is not too over powering which is ideal. Delicious delicous.

Sask89 (257) - Regina, Saskatchewan, CANADA - JUN 26, 2010
Pours a golden orange colour, hazy with a medium frothy white head. Aroma is of hops, herbs and spice, and some citrus fruit; lemon and a little orange. Taste has a nice light sweetness to it with some spice and a fairly long bitter finish. Medium bodied, quite smooth with lively carbonation. Overall a pretty good beer, even a little more enjoyable than the Brooklyn Local 2.

Has a sweet saison’ish sort of start to it but finishes bitter. I didn’t know what to expect from this one, but the aroma was sort of faint and the flavor was very lacking.

Riotbeard (107) - Birmingham, USA - JUN 23, 2010
750 ml bottle. Aroma is sweet apple and a little hint of spicy hops. Appearance is a pale orange with a persistant white head, good lacing. Taste is almost like a cider, balanced with a nice light hoppy bitterness. Palate is very dry.

yeasty nose at first, with some piquant spicy notes hanging out in there too. pepper, sort of an earthy peppery scent, like ganthoda (long pepper). somewhat lemony. a touch of dark sugar. a yeasty showcase when you taste it, lots of curious little Belgian complexities, cf. more pepper, but also some heavier phenolic notes. not especially carbonated and unfortunately served slightly warmer than optimal. still a fine brew.

pours hazy orange with a sumptuous white head and no lacing. Medium-full body. strong yeasty aroma. bitter orange peel taste with very long lasting spice character. warm, complex finish. Very Nice.
