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.

Bottle - nice, sweet and spicy aroma. Fairly standard pilsner appearance. Flavor is grainy sweetness with a slight bitterness in the finish. A fairly good example, but far from my favorite style.

Malty aroma. Golden colored, carbonated. Flavor malty, some citrus. Well rounded for a pilsner. Easily the best I’ve ever had.

Gold in color with a thin white head. Bready aroma. Flavor is fairly light on the hops with a yeasty, bready malt thing going on, slightly sour. Not bad, I suppose, but nothing spectacular.

Poured a gold color with a white head. Aroma is malt and bread. Flavor is malty up front with a grassy hop finish. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Decent for a try out, but I wouldn’t buy again.

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.
