Queens Brewery Reviews

hopdog	1.8 Queens Pilsner On tap at the source. Poured a hazy golden color with a small sized head. Yeah, pass on this like you should pass on this Brewery ... this was their only beer on tap and it wasn't even a good Pilsner. Tuesday, May 9, 2023
Slipstream	3.5 Queens Blackberry Lager This has a Jolly Rancher aroma, according to Windi. Reddish pour, and a head with lacing. Basic lager taste with a little berry in the aftertaste. Fresh grain flavor and a dry finish. Nice. Saturday, April 29, 2023
explosivedog	1.7 Queens Barrel Rager On tap at the brewery. Pours copper. Bourbon, biscuit, booze, lime, maple syrup, tequila. Medium body. Tastes more like a mixed drink than a beer but not one made by a bartender. Reminds me of the horrific concoctions created during drinking games as a younger man. Not good. Sunday, May 15, 2022
trapped	3.2 Queens M.C. Saison Draught @ Taproom 307 (11/6/19). Faintly cloudy rich yellow with large foamy whitish head, faint earthy malt aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter earthy taste, very faint vanilla flavor, thin body, medium finish. Not bad, not great. Tuesday, November 19, 2019
ejarger	3 Queens Lager Friday, November 3, 2017
Jow	2.9 Queens Lager Tap at beer authority prior to sneak peak Mummy screening just grabbing new ny brewery tick. Amber pour small head. Nose is faint malt and caramel. Tastes of light dusty hops, caramel, earthy, dried leaves. Watery palate. I heard these guys are opening a brewery location this year will have to see what they produce other than this mediocrity.

Braudog	4 Queens BLVD Session IPA Can. This exploded from the can with a big, white, frothy foam. The head retention is better than average, with a fluffy pillow sitting atop a muted orange and hazy brew. The aroma is musty and laden with a big, leafy greenness. This drinks with remarkable oomph for a session ale, full of earthy flavors and with a hint of spiciness over the top. (#6505, 2/17/2017) Friday, February 17, 2017

MrChopin	3.1 Queens BLVD Session IPA [ bottle ][ 1.5oz ][ @Tasting ][ $ ? ][ schnapps flute ][ 12.20.15 ] transparent gold, thin white large bubbled ring, wispy oil cap.

Slick but a crisp, dry lime zest finish lightens and there’s a surprising amount of chalk. Monday, December 28, 2015

trapped	3 Queens Blau Draught @ Albion. Hazy dark brown with small beige foamy head. Doughy aroma, high carbomation, slightly sour yeasty taste, abrupt finish. The most untypical IPA I have tried so far! Friday, March 6, 2015
beerbill	3.5 Queens Blau Growler. Pours a clear golden amber with a subtle tint of purplish red. Pretty color. There is a moderate linen white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left partial lace. Pleasant aroma of pine with some notes of caramel and some underlying blueberry. The flavor is malt with some very light caramel followed by some mild-moderate pine hops bitterness. There is some mild blueberry as well. Dries out a bit at the finish. No problems.

kaser	2.5 Queens Blau Pretty Blau. Golden draft pour at Shortys in New York. Thin circle of white head. Fruity as hell. Only IPA note is the hoppiness. Didn't like this Saturday, September 27, 2014
ben4321	3.4 Queens Blau Location: Growler from Superstar Beverage - Huntington, 9/10/14 Aroma: The nose is herbal and piney hops, some caramel, and bit opf subtle blueberry Appearance: It pours a reddish-orange color with thin head and some mild, spotty lacework Flavor: The flavor is lightly sweet, malt and blueberry, with a clean, light-medium bitterness Palate: The body is light medium, it has a soft carbonation, and a smooth, somewhat dry finish Overall Impression: This actually works reasonably well. The blueberry flavor is pretty subtle, but it is there. The hops aren’t really big enough for a traditional IPA, but there is enough bitterness to make the beer enjoyable. It’s a hint thin from aroma, through flavor, to the mouthfeel, but it is still a pretty solid beer overall. Wednesday, September 10, 2014
Lubiere	2.7 Queens Lager A golden lager with a thin light mocha head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with grassy hops, mineral notes, cereals, nice. In mouth, biscuit grainy malt with grassy hops, mineral notes, bit light. On tap at Coney Island on tap. Saturday, July 12, 2014
Jonesify	2 Queens Lager Friday, July 11, 2014
BLADT	1.5 Queens Lager Draft. Classic gold with decent head. Good lacing. Taste and nose has strong wort presence. Some caramel. Flat mouthfeel. This beer is not ready for primetime. Back to the drawing board, boys Monday, May 26, 2014
blipp	1.7 Queens Lager Draft at NYC Craft Beer Week Opening Bash. Pours golden amber with a thin head. Sweet toffee malts, ugh, gross. Just no redeeming qualities. Not drinkable at all. Not particularly offensive, I guess, but just not good at all. Saturday, March 29, 2014
BrewBoxer	3.2 Queens Lager DrFt at Houston hall NYC. Pours a amber tan color with a tasty hoppy esb taste. Decent ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Sunday, March 2, 2014
scarletfire65	3.6 Queens Lager Draft at Thai Rock. Great execution of a simple style. Fruity, yeasty, dry hoppy finish balanced with caramel maltiness. Sunday, February 2, 2014
mansquito	3.2 Queens Lager Heavy Woods, Brooklyn tap ($6): Pours slightly hazed gold with a white head. Aroma is light lager, bit of hops, something almost Belgian smelling in there. Simple lager, but with some idiosyncratic flavor in there. Kind of yeasty. Nice hoppy undertone. Tuesday, December 31, 2013
beerbill	3.8 Queens Lager Growler filled at Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage and consumed the same day. It’s nice to see a brewery finally pop up in my hometown borough (even though this beer is admittedly contract brewed in Saratoga Springs). Pours a clear golden amber with a moderate off-white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left considerable lace. Very pleasant aroma that is predominantly tangerine and grapefruit. Very refreshing. The flavor is malt followed by some moderate hops bitterness that is more reminiscent of an IPA than a lager, but the solid malt backbone holds up nicely. There is still some of the lager smoothness in the body despite the hoppy finish. Medium bodied. One of the more enjoyable lagers I’ve had in recent memory. Thursday, November 21, 2013
