Brooklyn Local 1

Soft hazy yellow color on this beer and a rather ho-hum Belgian aroma. Not a bad one mind you, but its got the usual notes of light citrus, musky yeast, and a little of the one-two punch of coriander and clove-like spices. The flavor brings it home though. The bottle re-fermentation makes the difference from a Belgian strong that tastes slightly metallic and one that is complex and dynamic. There is a really nice lemony grassy flavor that tastes full and memorable.

This hazy yellow ale poured with a thin off-white head. There is a sweet, yet hoppy flavor with a carbonated mouthfeel and some candy sugar and coriander tastes.

Masterful!!! The aroma is full of yeasty properties, some nice medium malts, some nice sugary alcohol qualities, and some nice fruit esters. It’s appearance is cloudy, orange. White a nice white head, and some nice lacing. It’s flavor is exquisite, w/ some complexity and craft quality. It’s full of moderate malts, with some nice sweetness, that immediately turns to mildness, then turns into a soft velvety taste. It’s amazing. Tastes range from coriander, herbs, and some earthy flavors. It’s finish is dry at the end begging you to just have another sip, another, another. Awesome!

Cloudy, light orange. Good white head. Fruity alcoholic soft aroma. Soft light taste. Smooth. Like a lot of Belgians. Not a lot of complexity but good.

750 ml pours to hazy golden body with thick white head that dissipates rather quickly. Aroma is sweet...of citrus and perhaps even flowers. Taste is unique and just short of excellent. Aftertaste is pleasant . Overall, a nice surprise! Will definitely try again sometime.

Pours light golden with a mostly receding wispy white head. Aroma of herbal hops, Saaz and chamomile. Taste of coriander, herbal hops, nicely saison-esque. Mouthfeel is full bodied with light resins, light alcohol and lush carbonation. I will be buying this 1 again.

Pours a cloudy straw/orange with a robust head and good lacing. Nose- spice (coriander, pepper) and honey. Taste- sweet malts and fruits initially, spritzy carbonation on the tongue, then quickly dries out to a peppery and earthy dry finish. Leaves a metallic yeast aftertaste and booze heat.

Bottle courtesy of GMCC2181. Poured golden orange in color with a nice white foamy head. Aroma was fruity, citrusy, along with wheat. Taste is dry in the beginning with fruit and mild honey taste, along with a smooth finish with a little bit of yeast. A nice brew.
