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.

UPDATED: SEP 28, 2008 Well made Pilsner, right up there with Prima from Victory. Translucent yellow with a moderate white head. Classic in appearance for a pils. Floral aroma of noble hops is apparent. Slight to moderate bitterness. Crisp dry finish. My favorite pilsner are made in America, which may be due to freshness, Brooklyn & Victory are the best of those made in America. Pilsners as a style deserve more love here on RB, they are light, refreshing and frankly require more craftsmanship than many of the more appreciated styles.

Nice golden pour with a fluffy, bubbly white head. Nice aroma of bready malt, and some soft hops. Flavour is more hops than malt, but the malt really comes through in the finish, and add a really nice authentic pils finish, nice stuff.

Some sulfury notes in the nose. Beer pours a golden, clear with thin white head. Very little malt and hop characteristics. Not a fan.

Underhook (162) - Lincoln Park, New Jersey, USA - SEP 6, 2008
Malty aroma. Golden colored, carbonated. Flavor malty, some citrus. Well rounded for a pilsner. Easily the best I’ve ever had.

RichJ7 (1175) - Cullman, Alabama, USA - AUG 28, 2008
Gold in color with a thin white head. Bready aroma. Flavor is fairly light on the hops with a yeasty, bready malt thing going on, slightly sour. Not bad, I suppose, but nothing spectacular.

nqualls (1452) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - AUG 26, 2008
Poured a gold color with a white head. Aroma is malt and bread. Flavor is malty up front with a grassy hop finish. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Decent for a try out, but I wouldn’t buy again.

bhensonb (7143) - Woodland, California, USA - AUG 23, 2008
Brilliant clear orange color with a decent white head. Light aroma of grassy hop over slightly bready pale malt. Medium body (almost) with fluffy carbonation. Flavor builds up more grassy bitter into the finish. Hop turns more floral than grassy. It’s crisp and clean. Breadiness makes it seem more German than Bohemian. Eh! Pretty decent American lager. More of them should be like this.

Pours gold with a bright white head into a pilsner. Uneven head recedes to nothing. Malt and cookie aromas. Crisp, metallic and sour.
