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.

Great beer. Brooklyn wins again, though this is probably not even their finest beer. I admit, I’m biased. Pilsners are my choice, but still a winner regardless.

This is the best American Pilsner I’ve ever had, bar none. I used to reserve Trumer for that designation, but Brooklyn has usurped the throne. Hoppy, refreshing, with a smooth finish all the way down. Perfect on a cool spring evening with a homemade veggie pizza!

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!

Very pale golden beer with apparent natural carbonation or at least it is definitely not overcarbonated. Holds a nice firm, creamy head. I poured this into a good conical pilsner glass and the beer looked very inviting. Faint aromas greet you before the first sip. Flavor is very balanced. Low hop character but everything about this beer works in harmony. This beer is probably one of the better pilsners available on the market. Certainly would not offend a drinker of ordinary domestic lagers and good enough to be enjoyed by even hard-core craft beer lovers. Very nice indeed.
