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.

Beer of the Month Club Selection: Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a golden brown body with a white head with no lacing. Pleasant hops aroma with some floral pine notes. Bitter with a dry, light body combined with a crisp effervescence. This pilsner has a good crispness with a dry, bitter aftertaste, along with light malting. This pilsner scores points with me for meeting it’s commercial description; and while I’m an ale person, this lager ain’t too shaby...

Brooklyn Pilsner is a clear golden color with a very nicely formed off-white head. The aroma is sweet with nice hop characteristics and a very nice malted base. The finish is very smooth and perfect with a light cigar on a temperate summer day.

Decent if not great. Hey, if it’s not in a can and doesn’t look like piss when it’s poured, aight in my book. Nice bitter finish balances nicely. Kinda dig it.

Pours light slightly cloudy golden color with faint white head. Aroma of sweet biscuit malts and some spice. Nice complex flavor of sweet and buttery bread malts and spicy hops. I’ll admit that I am impressed, haven’t had too many true pilsners but this is a good beer.

Nice golden color to this. I could smell a lot of floral to the nose, very dry bitter finish. Not a bad brew, just not my favorite type of beer. Brooklyn Brewery is a great brewery though and makes several wonderful beers. Try one.
