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.

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

Hopper (751) - The Alamo, Texas, USA - OCT 6, 2009
An unclear golden beer with a small head that dissipates to an egg white looking head at the center of the goblet, with a fair amount of carbonation. The aroma is light colored fruits. The taste is fruity, & peppery that has a very carbonated mouthfeel.
