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.

Brilliant clear orange color with a decent white head. Light aroma of grassy hop over slightly bready pale malt. Medium body (almost) with fluffy carbonation. Flavor builds up more grassy bitter into the finish. Hop turns more floral than grassy. It’s crisp and clean. Breadiness makes it seem more German than Bohemian. Eh! Pretty decent American lager. More of them should be like this.

Pours gold with a bright white head into a pilsner. Uneven head recedes to nothing. Malt and cookie aromas. Crisp, metallic and sour.

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.

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

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.
