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.

Bottle at Flying Saucer Nashville. Interesting to have this back to back with the Duvel Green. Similar profiles with a gorgeous yeast that gives it an aroma that goes from spices like cardamon on top of the pear that reminded me of the Duvel. A bit alcoholic and sweet but still easy to drink.

Slightly hazy gold colored with a resilient off-white head. Plenty of lace Yeasty aroma with coriander and cloves, banana, apple, lemongrass and slight alcohol. Taste is yeasty and slightly sweet with a nice balancing hop presence. It’s medium bodied with lively carbonation and dry finishing. Somewhat mild, but nice.

Light fruity Belgian nose, pretty complex flavor profile. Bitter finish, sweet, fruits, caramel. This is stupid. This is tasty fresh Belgian style however.
