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.

Capa (1544) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 2, 2009
Golden with a tight white head. Floral and fruity aroma with some light spicing as well. Highly inviting. Bubbly mouth. Flavor is lightly spiced, some fruits and floral notes but the 9% alcohol really shows through and kinda kills some of the flavor profile. The finish is full of alcohol fumes. A nice brew, but the alcohol needs to be reigned in a bit.

Poured from a 750ml bottle into a Duvel tulip. Poured cloudy gold with an everlasting inch thick head. Notes of banana, doughy malts, and a general fruitiness. Crisp and dry with a nice sting of carbonation. Pretty impressive.

Carabia (35) - Itä-Raasepori, FINLAND - NOV 15, 2009
Blurry dark orange beer with a tight and longlasting, large-bubbled head, that leaves a lot of beautiful lace behind. The aroma is fruity with lots of herbs; peach, nectar, apricot, syrup, coriander, clove and honey. The taste has quite a lot of malts, light hops, fruits and yeast. The mouthfeel is a tad too carbonated, but that eases a little when the beer warms up.

28th June 2008. Light amber cloudy beer. Very dry light palate. Some subtle fruit tones. A bit acrid. Not much to recommend!
