Brooklyn Local 1

Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy pale yellow-gold color with a large white head. The aroma was sweet citrus and honey. The flavor was dryish with a touch of honey and lemon and fairly strong bready element. Very nice.

Comments: Fresh tasting, fruity, quite warming, clean, yet field-like if not very farmy. Nice nuances of tropical fruits and citrus not too sweet and tasty offering.

Pours a hazy straw yellow with a bubbly head of massive proportions that settles first into a dense rocky foam before fading away almost entirely before half the glass is gone. Dry dusty straw aroma. Straw and pears-in-syrup flavours, raw finish, some faint spicy notes that are lost as you spend time with this beer. Nothing grabs hold with this beer.

Interesting take on the style with much more hops than most. Had this along with five other Belgian and Belgian style strong ales and this was my favorite. Pretty impressive for Brooklyn.

750 bottle. pours cloudy yellow with a nice fluffy white head. aroma is in line with a well rounded tripel - yeast, orange, slight spice. nice mouthfeel, the sugar gives it some body but its remains crisp. bread and sweet sugars, with a dry, tart citrus in the taste. alcohol is warming but no unpleasant taste and its rounds out nicely as its warms. a very nice belgian, good for sipping.

750 ml corked and caged bottle from cdog69. Poured in my Delirium Tremens tulip.
Pours a lightly hazed gold with a snowy white head. Lots of carbonation.
Light fruit aromas of pears and apples. Sugars and spices. Dust and cobwebs.
I taste some ginger, and other spices. Maybe some flowers. Sweet sugars are there too. Mild bitterness.
Medium body. High carbonation. Dry finish. Kind of oily.
Really a well made beer. Dare I say, refreshing?

750 ml bottle. Hazy golden with a huge white head. Bananas and spices in the nose. A nice sweet spicey flavor. Hides its alcohol very well.

Pours a hazy, vibrant, yellow-gold body with a massive, spongy, snow white head. The foam sticks around until the very end, leaving patchwork lace in its wake. Pale malts provide a nice groundwork for sweet and acidic tangerine on the nose. A little yeasty bread is also present, as are peppery spices. The flavor is very similar. Pale malts, bread dough, yeast, and citrus juices combine well on the palate. The spiciness on the finish works perfectly with the moderate carbonation level. If it were any more fizzy and it would be a bit too intense. Medium bodied and just slightly sticky. Smooth and creamy. This is a solid beer. Very similar to Duvel in my opinion. Would indeed work great with spicy food.
