COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brooklyn Pilsner is a refreshing golden lager beer, brewed in the style favored by New York’s pre-Prohibition brewers. In the 1840’s, the pilsner style emerged from central Europe to become the world’s most popular style of beer. Like its ancesters, Brooklyn Pilsner is traditionally brewed from the finest European two-row barley malts. German-grown Perle and Hallertauer hops provide a crisp, snappy bitterness and fresh, floral aroma. We ferment Brooklyn Pilsner at cool temperatures and then give it a long, gentle maturation (lagering), which results in a beer of superior complexity and smoothness.

Bottle from a pastry shop in Williamsburg. This is a really solid session beer, with a sweet grassy aroma with a light, fizzy mouthfeel. Light citrus flavors from the hops, but this brew lacks the peppery notes from most pilsners.

rougeau13 (1065) - Texas, USA - FEB 11, 2012
Clear golden with a pillowy but rapidly dissipating off-white head. Aroma of bread, florals, and grass. The taste is earthy and bready with a nice floral hop bitterness. Medium bodied and a bit dry. Good refreshing pils with a fuller flavor than most.

Out of a bottle: Appears very yellow, with a very clean white head. Lots of lacing. Med carbonation. Smells very floral with a hint of cheese. Taste is clean and dry barley, with a touch of sweetness in the after taste. Clean, fresh, direct floral hoppiness describes this to me. Drink very cold for a great refreshing beer on a summer day.

kidmartinek (1757) - austin, Texas, USA - JAN 28, 2012
Pours an amber-tinted yellow with a white head. Bitter, grassy aroma. Sweet taste with a bitter finish. Body is a little heavy for a pils. Finish is lively and bitter but the sweetness just kills the pleasure.

Narnad (1136) - Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA - JAN 28, 2012
Pours a very clean, yellow, highly carbonated brew with a low frothy, white head. Aroma has a strong grainy kick with a pungent Hallertauer floral/funky punch. Flavor is clean with a strong Hallertauer kick, so strong that it imparts a slight lemongrass note late in the tasting. Grainy flavor comes in early in the beer and is very pleasant, complimenting the later hoppiness. Body is light with a very sharp crisp kick from the high amount of carbonation. Overall a very tasty pils. A bit on the hoppy side as the grain doesn’t seem to pop out as easily as a pils typically does. A very enjoyable beer.

BMan1113VR (6145) - Los Angeles, California, USA - JAN 12, 2012
On tap at the brewery. Pours with a clear golden hued body with a white head. Aromas are hoppy, bready, with a slightly out of place fruitiness. Flavors show mild fruit, malty, medium bitter. Mild ester. Creamy carbonation on a drier palate.

BrewBoxer (770) - Brooklyn, USA - DEC 7, 2011
Bottle, Pours a golden tan color with a quarter inch head. Smells slightly hoppy and sweet. Taste is light and crisp. Very smooth like any german pilsner, but a little less flavor then id expect from Brooklyn. Good for a session or a BBQ
