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.

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol and spices - especially coriander. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of alcohol, and medium notes of coriander as well as other spices, leading to a dry spicy finish.

Bottled at Københavnske Øldage. Cloudy golden. Yeasty banana aroma. Sweet and medium bodied. Surprisingly slender. Soft and juicy with orange, bread and paper as well as coriander. Remains drinkable despite an immens amount of flavours.

(Bottle 65 cl) Very unclear pale golden with a white head. Aroma of fruit, yeast and coriander. Medium body, lightly sweet malts and fruit. Some yeastiness leads to a dry finish. Quite fresh. 110507

Bottle obtained in trade from malto...sorry...wish I could say Brewery Creek has this
Hazy golden colour. Not much head. Assertive barny, dusty yeast aroma with hints of pear. Duvellish pear notes throughout, with about the same alcohol kick, but quite a bit more dusty yeast character and the malts aren’t as refined.
