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.

Pours a clear gold with a foamy/creamy white head. Good lacing. Aroma: Hay, resin hops, and dough. Taste of lemon hops balanced with bread and cereal malt. Dry, somewhat paper napkin finish.

This was an excellent brew! The flavors will dance and sing on your palate. Nice and bitter but with a after taste of flowers. very very tasty.

GT2 (3440) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 27, 2009
355 mL. Pours a clear darkish yellow with a two-finger fluffy white head that dissipates to a thin layer but leaving some good lacework. Aromas of honey, rye bread, some orange peel, and flowers. Taste is watery with a weak bite of Czech hops but is mostly sweet malt with some herbs tossed in. Not really a pilsner to the taste. Disappointing.

puzzl (3071) - New York, New York, USA - JAN 27, 2009
Bottled. Pale-ish, mostly filtered pour, not much of a head. Aroma is mildly skunky, lots of bread/pumpernickel, some czech hops, mint. A malty, sprucey bitterness is presentin the flavor, muddled by an overly sweet body (for the style) and lack of proper carbonation. Definitely too much non-pils malt in this one, Not very close to style.

Leighton (3595) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 6, 2009
A nice beer here. Lovely golden color. Widely available in the Northeast US. Floral nose and fruity taste. The nice medium body makes this a great sippin’ brew.
