Commercial Description:
Brooklyn Lager, the Brewery's flagship label, is New York's "hometown" beer, brewed to a pre-Prohibition recipe that dates back to the days when Brooklyn was the brewing capital of the East Coast. Brooklyn Lager has won numerous awards. Wrote Michael Jackson in the Simon & Schuster Pocket Guide to Beer: "The dry-hopped, fresh, flowery, firm, flavourful, Brooklyn Lager **-*** started well, in 1988, and has gained in character since."

Bottle purchased at Sam’s Wine and Spirits, in Chicago. Pours a clear, pale copper with a dense, creamy, off-white head that leaves behind sticky lace. The nose is of muted toasted malt and a nice compliment of floral hops. Light-bodied without feeling thin, the mouthfeel is soft and clean with a subtle hop bitterness at the finish. The flavor follows the nose: sweet, toasted caramel malt up front backed by an excellent balance of floral hops. This is an exceptionally quaffable and flavor brew. I could easily run through a sixer of this watching a ballgame. Unfortunately, I can’t get it here in KC.

BOTMC Selection: Poured from the bottle into a double-walled pint glass. Pour produced a golden amber body with a pale yellow head of foam which mostly diminished with moderate lacing. Aroma is well-balanced, with a fair amount of hops, providing a floral scent. Dry, bitter taste,with some malting, and a clean bitter aftertaste. Not overly complex, though full-flavored.

Bottle. 12 fl. oz. Clear amber color with fine, white head and nice lacing. Blended aroma of sweet malt and citrus. Thin body with a dry finish. Flavor mirrors the aroma but with a healthy amount of bitterness going down. Clean, crisp, highly drinkable.
