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.

madsberg (7533) - Søborg, - MAY 13, 2005
Bottled: Golden coloured. Clear. Dense white head. Aroma of some hops and a light sweetness. A little vague. Flavour is malty and fruity with some floral notes. Ends on a light bitterness.

JK (3506) - Uptown, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - MAY 11, 2012
Gold color, with a head that laces the glass. Aroma has central European hops and lager yeast. Appropriate pilsner flavor, and for an ordinary pils, it is actually pretty good, with a solid hop flavor and malt body.

Bendrixian (455) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - MAY 6, 2012
pale yellow colour, very carbonated brew with big bubbled head. aromas of classic pilsner : hay and grassy notes & reduced aroma from filtration, slightly malted note. tastes are light, fast and gone before they even begin. very close to being a tasty watered beveragebut very far from being a tasty brew.

Guerde (991) - St. Paul, Minnesota, USA - APR 12, 2012
(bottle) Pours a semi-hazy gold color with a thin white head and some moderate lacing. Aroma is certainly questionable, with a touch of skunk, lemon peel, vanilla, and musty lager yeast. Flavor possesses some crackery pils malt, mineral water, and lemon peel with a dry and crisp finish. Mouthfeel is medium and carbonation is lively. Overall this is even slightly below disappointing.

Atheist_Peace (515) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - APR 11, 2012
12oz. bottle. Pours a bright, clear light golden colour with white head that leaves a little ring of lace. Fresh grass dominates the nose with a bit of cereal grain and sugar underneath. Quite dullish on the palate. Opens with a dried grass note and then finishes with a whimper. Disappointing.

Fech (131) - Edison, New Jersey, USA - APR 9, 2012
One of the most drinkable american craft pilsners ive ever had. Crisp, fizzy, light bodied. Great session brew.

reebtogi (2169) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - APR 3, 2012
355ml bottle pours a pale straw color with a 2 finger white head that settles to some spotty lacing. Aroma is cereal grains with some grassy hops. Taste is light malt sweetness with a clean hoppy bitterness in the finish. Light bodied with some moderate carbonation. This is an easy drinking pilsener that is not too harsh on the palate.

Theis (9217) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAR 30, 2012
Bottle in Hotel Room, Brooklyn. Clear yellow/golden - white head. Grainy, hay, straw, light sweetness, light flowery honey, ok mild hoppy, light bitter hops, ok malty, light light bready. OK for a "micro" pilsner.

jhamp9 (366) - Corinth, Texas, USA - MAR 29, 2012
Pours clear gold with a lasting white head and decent lacing. Aroma is malt and a hint of lemon. Has a nice crisp bitterness. Dry on the palate.

DavoleBomb (1143) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 25, 2012
Poured into a pilsner glass. 4.0 A: Golden yellow color. Two fingers of foamy white head. Retention is good and a sizeable ring of lacing is left. 3.0 S: Dry, grainy dustiness. A lot of neutral malt aroma. Not much in terms of hops though. Fairly simple, even by pils standards. Clean. 3.0 T: Same as the nose. Grainy with neutral maltiness. Soft grassy hoppiness. Clean. 3.5 M: Light body. Good moderate carbonation. Clean and crisp. 3.0 D: Good, but nothing impressed me. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 03-11-2012 01:42:50

Veldy (47) - Coon Rapids, Minnesota, USA - MAR 18, 2012
Nice malt aroma with a white head, but doesn’t hold the peak all that long. Hops are a bit sharp and slightly too bitter for a pilsner, but a drinkable beer none-the-less.
