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.

Nice solid golden coloring with a white laced head that held pretty firm from a bottle pour. The classic extra tall pilsener glass helped. A rather robust and good offering for the style with a good combo of enough malt sweetness, herbal of sorts on the nose balanced by a crisp finish. Nice on the palate too.

Sobchak (131) - Skagen, DENMARK - SEP 11, 2005
Clear light golden colour. Clean hoppy nose, with a slight acidity. The taste has an instant crispness to it, and some soft floral hops,- not much aftertaste though... - I generally like my pilseners more bitter, i think this one is a bit to soft and bores your palate after a few mouthfulls....

Clear yellow color with a nice white head. Aroma is doughy and spicy. The flavor is crisp and clean with a tinge of hops. An attractive pilsener.

IPFreely (1471) - Sanborn, New York, USA - SEP 9, 2005
Golden color, medium white head. Aroma was of semi-grainy malts and fresh floral hops. Excellently balanced flavor, firm malt prescence followed by some crisp hop bitterness. Citrusy and flowery. Smooth, easy drinking, very palatable. Well done, very enjoyable.

12 fl oz. brown bottle. Medium straw colour with some haze. Small white head, finely bubbled. Fresh scent of hops, slightly floral and citrusy. Some grainy, bready malts, hints of citrus (orangey) hops in the finish, slight bitterness. Pretty clean and refreshing.

blatz (138) - Palm Beach Gardens, FL, Florida, USA - SEP 5, 2005
Beautiful golden yellow with half inch head that stayed through most of the glass. Very citrusy and grassy -- the website says the traditional pils hop combination, but I would almost swear Cascade or Liberty hops were used in some capacity. ANyhow, the brew had a wonderful smoothness and well balanced character. I could certainly session with this brew. Too bad I only get to have it when I fly in to the NY area. Good job Garrett. Cheers!

Cletus (6025) - Connecticut, USA - SEP 5, 2005
Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of yogurt, lemons and some hay. Tastes orangey with a very nice sweet finish. A classic pils it is not, but this is one heck of a good beer.

FoolishMortal (973) - San Diego, California, USA - SEP 2, 2005
Yellow gold color, large foamy white head. Clean grainy malt aroma with hints of acrid floral hops. Smooth maltiness with a crisp bitter citrusy hop presence in the finish. Mouthfeel is smooth and light with a lingering crispness.
