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.

Spicy and fruity aroma on this dark brown beer. The flavor is very spicy but has a slightly sweet finish. A little too carbonated but nice.

Non l’ho capita; questa linea "belga" di Brooklyn ha lasciato veramente poco, speriamo spariscano dalla circolazione.

bottle at the boathouse in conshohocken. Powerful spicy aroma if orange peel, coriander. Fizzy, orange, belgian yeast. Aroma stronger than the taste. Good though.

Compared to Fin du Monde and that kinda shit, it’s a pretty good value. i.e., it was 10 bucks as opposed to like 14. but it’s not quite as good. so whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them. Good night, sweet B.

BeerSkull (494) - SWEDEN - AUG 21, 2011
Fresh, spicy and yeast aroma with floral flavorings. Also the taste has a soft floral flavor with hints of yeast and citrus. A little yeast bitter in the finish. Remarkably little alcohol taste despite 9%. Recommended!
