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.

Hazy blond color with bottom-of-the-bottle gunk which I always drink! Solid body and big head. Fine Belgian flavor of spicy yeast!

Tasting at a beerfest [Disclaimer: This was tasted along with many, many other beers during a tasting at Julios. Some of the details are a little hazy]. Excellent example of this style that I found to be quite tasty.

Skinnyviking (5472) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAY 16, 2009
Bottle. Medium high fluffy white head. Hazy yellow body. Barley malt aroma with fruity and spicy notes. Fruity and mildly spiced flavor without much hops bitterness but it is not exactly sweet. Alcohol well hidden. Low carbonation, long aftertaste.

satan165 (1003) - River Grove, Illinois, USA - MAY 13, 2009
aroma of bready yeast and light but succinct floral hops. appearance is of a cloudy belgian golden ale, standard but always striking. flavor is of sharp hops and sticky yeast that hangs on the palate after the sip. palate is spritzy and well carb’d. overall a very solid ale, a ’poor man’s chouffe’.

Bottle. Golden pour with a large off white frothy head. Aroma of barnyard, bananas, and yeast. Full bodied taste of honey, sourdough, dark fruit and spices with a great full finish that lingers with some alcohol.
