3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy, very bubbly, yellow-gold with an average size diminishing white head. First thing that hits me in the aroma is tomato juice, which is odd, followed by grain and mild grassy hops. Flavour’s equal parts caramel malt and grassy hops along with some grain and an average bitter finish. Medium bodied. Pretty decent as far as Pilsners go but it doesn’t do much for me.

A Sim rate (draft at 1020 in Kristin’s old ’hood): Malty, hoppy aroma. Smells very fresh. It’s pils in the proper German sense of the word. Tastes similar to the aroma, but more dominated by malt. Nice, but not my favourite style.

[i9Bottle at the Rover, Göteborg, Sweden. Clear golden with a white head. Grainy and bready malt aroma with grassy and herbal hops. Ligth to medium bodied with decent mouthfeel. Good balance with a bitter finish.

Pours a surprisingly substantial hazy soft gold. The head is thin and white. The aroma is slightly sweet, straw and grassy hints, kind of thin. The flavor shows rice, straw, light grassy hops, waxy bitterness. The palate was thin.

UPDATED: NOV 9, 2007 Miller Lite labels say "True pilsner taste," not to bitch like a beer snob about major brand beers but I shall. "True pilsner taste" sounds like "real cheese flavor"; it may be made out of old Chinese newspapers, but the flavor is certainly real! Well, Brooklyn’s attempt at the classic pilsner style is a winner! Nice golden color with a white head and a lively carbonation; low hop character but everything about this beer works in harmony; reminds me of beer you can buy a keg of down the shore, while not disappointing anyone!

I don’t like Pilsners...and I can’t avoid letting that infiltrate my ranking. Yes, it has more taste than your average pilsner...it’s more strongly bitter. I should have known better to include a Pilsner in my mixed Brooklyn sixer. Hope their other offerings are better.
