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, 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

Bottle from James - thanks! Light yellow clear pour with a thin white head. Aroma is faded floral hops and clean, semi-roasted barley. Taste is soft faded hops, clean barley, and some soft sweetness. Perhaps this bottle was a bit dated (not sure?) but it was still a perfectly enjoyable pilsner.

Hazy pale straw color with clean white persistent head and plenty of lacing. Taste is somewhat one-note: Malty wheat with yeast, but it drinks easy and goes well with pizza (Papa John’s, in this case). Good session beer.

Pours golden with white head. Aroma is herbal, earthy hops. Taste is similar to the aroma with a nice clean malt finish. Not bad.

Borooklyn’s pils is more aromatically Czech than other US brewed pilseners. It’s a good looking beer with a big head and is alive with co2 release. Tastes just ok; the malt component being a tad stale and the hops metallic. This beer was more than decent, but as a companion to the brewer’s better known vienna style Lager, it isn’t quite there.

Bottle: pours a hazy yellow color with a thick fluffy white head. It has aromas of bread that swirl around with some sweetness. The flavors are of a sweet maltiness with a nice light, refreshing body. This is what I think a Pilsener is supposed to taste like. It’s awesome!

wnoble (641) - French Lick, Indiana, USA - OCT 1, 2011
Pours golden clear with a somewhat frothy white head. Nose has laments of clean semisweet malts, flowery and earthy hop aromas. Flavor is sweet malts then fades to some flowery fresh hop flavor thy is medium bitter and finishes slightly sweet and clean. Nice medium night body. Not my favorite American Brewed pilsner.
