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.

A light pilsner that leaves you wanting for something of more substance. Thin, watery lacing that drains into a very light amber hue that is reminiscent of of any light lager from a macro-brewery. Aroma is one of chemically altered hops and the bitter swallow can be a bit skunky.

Bottle: I was surprised how good this was. Nice spicy, floral notes. Nice and refreshing. It went very well with the food I was having (vegetarian fare at a restaurant near Washington Square park, manhattan). While I’m sure there are better pils out there, I haven’t had one yet.

Got something on tap they called ’Brooklyn special pilsner,’ so not sure if it’s the same. The aforementioned, however, is very impressive. A lager with mild but distinct characters of a British extra special bitter. IMHO, the best pilsner I’ve had.

Bright hazy yellow look. Minimal lace. Actually looks more like a Belgian white than anything. Bright and sunny. The smell is spicy, bitter beechwood/noble hops. The malt is of a sharp, bitter nature. Leafy, woodsy aroma. Hint of chlorine in the hops. The taste is flowery bitter hops, floating atop the lagery malt. A bit sharp in both the hop and the malt. Sharp, pilsnery taste (naturally). Actually becomes more like a light (Bud) lager as it warms. Feels creamy at first but finishes clearn. Watery and thin, though bubbly on the swallow. Reveals itself as a lesser brew as it warms. A bitter lager that is decent but disappointing.

A very light beer and one of the better light beers I’ve had. Golden colour but not much head. Hoppy flavor that was very refreshing. A very drinkable pilsner.

Golden yellow in color with a thick white head. Grainy in smell and flavor. Nice balancing bitterness. Could use a little more bitterness though for a pilsner. Not at all bad though.
