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.

2420512: Cloudy bright orange Belgian strong ale with a nice foam which offers small laces on the glass. Aroma of light alcohol and yeast. Good Belgian flavor without being able to compete with the real thing. Actually a little thin in length. Fine soft creamet consistency.

Honestly, tastes like a weissbeir, if only slightly. Nice citrus notes, thick head, cloudy golden color. 9% alc so don’t go trying to down this all in one sitting unless you’re not going anywhere for a while. Over all, a WIN for Brooklyn!

Palme (1437) - Bergen, NORWAY - MAY 22, 2012
Sampled from 0.75l bottle @ Ølfestival København 2012. A near clear golden one with a small off-white head. Really zest-fruity on the aroma, some fruits here as well with some orange zesty tones. Quite OK. Well lively carbonation and a somewhat thin and almost watery texture. OK flavors also with a light yeasty ans spicy pepperish tone all the way. Also I get alcohol, malts and mineral water with a strong spicy pepper finish. Feels a bit un-blended and parting in flavors. Still, quite tasty. 10.05.2012

stoneageradio (249) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 20, 2012
1 pint 9.4 oz. Bottle. A winner! Foamy head, big, over a cloudy apricot appearance. Boasts a banana, musty fruit, bready dough scent. Lighter medium body with a silky texture that ends with a fizz. The taste was fronted with fruit notes, apricot and peach, progressed to a bready doughness, some potent spice, sort of a nutmeg, and a burn on the finish. Delicious!

750ml bottle. Light apricot colour with lashings of fluffy white foam. Lots of fruit in the aroma with peaches, nectarines, plums and apricots all coming through. Full flavoured with a zesty spritzy mouthfeel and an alcohol burn on the palate. A very good beer.

TheCametron (792) - SCOTLAND - APR 29, 2012
Bottle. Golden with white head. Fizzy. Enticing aroma of coriander and spice. Flavour is distictly Belgian. Sweet malt with a dry hoppy finish. The hops are slightly uncharacteristic for an otherwise straight -up Belgian style beer. Very nice.

mzaar (442) - Varberg, SWEDEN - APR 26, 2012
Flaska 75 cl, delad med två andra. Att detta var en Belgian Stron Ale kom inte som en överraskning. Vips, så förflyttades man till Bryssel och en ölbar där. En hel fruktodling och honung möter näsan, och smaken är densamma. Lite väl söt för min smak, vilket drar ner betyget en aning.

Neeskens (298) - SWEDEN - APR 21, 2012
Hazy golden with a large with head. Traditional Belgian flavors with yeast, subtitle spices and orange. It got a fairly sweet body, but still well balanced with a decent bitterness. Altogether a good Belgian style brew
