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.

This is a great representation of the Beligian style. Spicy, citrus fruit aroma with a very smooth mouthfeel. Nicley done by Brooklyn.

Bomber. Pours a cloudy orange golden color with a very large white frothy head that lasts awhile. The aroma is a floral hop with banana and clove. Good sticky lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet fruit with lemon zest citrus and yeast. A good belgian strong ale from Brooklyn.

(Bottle at Pikkulintu, Helsinki, on 2009-01-14) Golden. Hazy. Dense, quite long lasting and medium sized white head. Fruity and spicy nose. Full bodied and quite dry palate with medium carbonation. Spices, fruitiness, bitterness, salt and sweetness in taste. Fruity, salty and bitter aftertaste. Clearly a Belgian ale.

Large corked bottle. Hazy, bottle conditioned golden color. Nice white head with tiny bubbles which collapsed in a few minutes. Spicy aroma, with citrus, grapefruit, orange. and clove. Spicy notes immediately in the taste, with some citrus before a light hops bitterness in the finish. Has a drying effect on the finish in the mouth.

UPDATED: FEB 7, 2009 Bottled@Beer Hunters, Pori. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruits, yeast, earth and some alcohol. Flavour is fruits and hoppy along with some sugary sweetness. Not too exciting, but very Belgian in the style and flavour. Quite watery palate. 6 3 6 3 12.

Bottled@Home. Hazy yellowish golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruits, hops, earth and some spices. Flavour is quite much the same with also some warming alcohol. Quite zesty finish. 7 3 7 3 14

TBone (9096) - Pori, FINLAND - JAN 11, 2009
Bottled (BB 11/2011). Clear orange color, small steady white head, some lace. Soapy, dish cleanser lemony aroma with some apricot notes. Apricot fruity flavor, a bit sugary, fizzy carbonation. Quite light palate for 9 % beer. Mild spices in the finish. Very Belgian (instead of American) and "clean", but not very personal strong ale.
