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 golden with a fluffy white head. Aroma is largely grain and hops with slight spice notes thrown in. Taste is run of the mill pilsner with a nice spice characteristic buried in there. It’s a solid offering, but nothing really stands out.

Bottle. Not bad at all. Golden pour, decent head. Crisp, but not as Saazy as many pilsners... guess b/c they used Perle and Hallertauer. A bit more floral/spicy than some. Refreshing on the summer day in which I drank it.

12 oz. bottle. Decent pils color, big pouffy head. Malt smell is pretty light, to let some of the noble hops in. Date notch is "Best before 08/08," so not in full flower of freshness, but a fine taste of German hops with spice and pepper. Crispy malt flavor. A fine, solid beer and good example of a pils.

UPDATED: SEP 9, 2008 Somewhat of a stale cracker malt - light hops, somewhat of a lemon-grass note, a little bit of honey sweetness. Medium bodied drink

Slipstream (1466) - USA - JUL 21, 2008
UPDATED: JUL 30, 2008 This is a substantial-looking (and tasting) pilsner. Rich nose of malt and floral hops. Amber pour. Like other offerings from this brewery, the yeast flavor comes across, and the hops do too. This dry and sharp brew is an unusual version of a pilsner. The residual flavor is slightly sour and hoppy. Good.

Oddly enough from my BOMC. Golden in color with a nice white head. Nice crisp smell of hops. This brew was very fresh. Really good. Very refreshing and crisp. Nice hop bit to it. Very drinkable. Another good beer from a excellent brewer.

BigBeer45 (934) - Michigan, USA - JUL 7, 2008
Pours a clear orange-yellow gold with a creamy white head that hangs around for a while, has a good amount of honey like sweetness and a pilsner bread aromas with floral fragrances in the mist, pilsner malt and faint bread flavors with a good hop bitterness and citrus that follows from the initial drink to the finish, there is some bitterness that carries on after the finish, a very nice drink, medium mouth feel or so, good and tasty, I recommend it.
