3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
75cl bottle. Light gold with a white head. yeasty and lightly fruity aroma, with a smooth malt sweetness. The flavor is a touch on the sweet side, with some yeasty flavor and light apple. Adding the yeast smoothes out the flavor, making it more rounded and malty. Medium-light bodied with a bit too much carbonation. Alright, but not possessing the complexity of better golden ales.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Stylish 750 ml bottle. Slightly cloudy golden color, huge rich foamy head. Spicy aroma with lemon, pepper and some alcohol. Full flavor with more fruit, spices, some yeast and a malty finish. Medium-full body, high carbonation. A very nice beer indeed.

Serving: Armored Car of a bottle here. You could drop this thing from a ten-story building and not have it shatter. I read once that this bottle is a work of art and I agree. Poured into a smallish snifter glass.
A: Pours a hazy deep gold, with a huge frothy white head that doesn’t go anywhere. Bubbles rushing every which way. Excellent lacing. There aren’t just lace rings, this thing is leaving CHUNKS of lace stuck to the glass.
S: Sour/sweet candy aroma right as you pop the cork, citrus, red grapes, malt, banana esters linger. It is begging me to drink it, but I don’t want my lips to ruin this perfect head of foam just yet. One more whiff...So complex.
T: Sweet malt flavor up front, yeasty, fruity (tangerine), and a tad sour. Delicate finish reminds me of Hennepin, but not as bitter.
M: Medium bodied. For 9% it really doesn’t show up. Just a slight tingle of carbonation.
D: Very drinkable for 9% abv. I do not think the 750ml is going to be enough! I should have gotten more when I had the chance. Refreshing.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Great "plop" when opening the elegant bottle. Cloudy, golden beer with huge white and lasting head. Aroma is complex and great: flowers and fruits, peppery spiciness, yeast and coriander. Flavour: flowers, tangy, orange, and peppery spiciness. Slippery, "easy", nice carbonation and warming hint of alcohol makes this beer nice to drink. Brooklyn Local 1 is refreshing, complex and spicy beer.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sampled at a beer and food pairing with Garritt Oliver. Poured yellow golden color with white head. Aroma was lemon, yeast, and spice. Medium mouthfeel. Flavors followed the nose and was very much in line with a typical strong belgian ale. Overall a nice brew.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Golden and cloudy with a good sized off-white head. Aroma is of clove, banana and coriander. Taste is of banana, coriander and yeast.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
750ml bottle at Novare Res.
This pours a cloudy yellow color with a big foamy white head. Tons of carbonation in this beer! Aroma of orange peel, lemons, and fruity yeasts. Flavor is a sting of yeast with some light malt sweetness. There’s a hint of alcohol in the finish along with some fruity grape-like notes. Not a whole of lot of risks taken here, but a pretty standard tripple.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a cloudy light orange with a nice white head. Aroma of wheat, citrus, honey and malt. Nice malty, citrus, spice and yeasty taste -very solid Belgian. Won’t go wrong with this one.
