Pours a translucent golden amber with a foamy/bubbly off white head. Aroma of floral, citrus and grainy notes. Flavor of grainy malts, tea, touch of honey...not really what I was expecting.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 18, 2007 Draft from growler from Party Town. Poured clear reddish amber color with an minimal fizzy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Moderate spicy fruit aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium spicy sweet flavor with a medium sweet fruity finish of moderate duration. Interesting drinkable brew. shigadeyo (2263), Harrison, Ohio, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 16, 2007 5/16/2007: Brooklyn Antwerpen Ale pours a very clear, bright coppery-bronze color. It has a frothy beige head and very little visible carbonation. Light malt, citrus, and a delicate spice are evident in the aroma. The flavor seems bready/doughy (biscuit) with some light fruitiness, a hint of caramel, and some citrus and lightly spicy hop notes. Overall this beer is very well balanced with a bit of dryness part way in and through the finish. The palate is soft, smooth, clean, but a bit thin at times. Like all Brooklyn brews, this one is well made, extremely drinkable and not offensive. Brooklyn Antwerpen Ale is good, but nothing special as there is nothing that really really sets this beer apart from others made in the same style...

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 13, 2007 On tap at My Place in Newtown, CT. Grainy malt aroma with hints of yeast. Dark orange color. Mellow caramel malts flavor and slight amount of fruityness. Not bitter in the finish. JAF737300 (797), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 11, 2007 A Belgian Ale style this pours somewhat dark amber with a thick head. The aromas show spicy and fruity but not as much as a big Belgian. The mouthfeel is deeper hops and malts that show some light notes of caramel. Had this at the Brewery. unclemattie (2428), Georgia, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 10, 2007 02May07 on tap @TacoMac. Disappointing. You would almost expect it to be a Duval Clone by the description, Whoops. Amber color. not much aroma. malt ok. smoe balance. Its like a dark house beer in some crap town of the touristy parts of Europe. Not Impressed. Dogbrick (2864), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2007 Sample at Firewaters in Atlantic City. This brew is a dark amber color with a wispy white head and minimal lacing. The aroma is mild toasted malt and hops. Medium-bodied with fruit and earthy malt flavoring. Some hops show up here and there but they never fully shine through. The finish is dry and mildly bitter. Not a bad beer, yet somehow a letdown given the quality of the majority of Brooklyn’s other beers. ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 1, 2007 tap: darker amber with decent lacing and retention. Aroma is very similar to an American Amber Ale. However, the hops are European as are most of the malts. Caramel and toast dominate with lesser fruity notes, although the hops are detectable. Light bodied, watery texture. Sorta like a hybrid of a Vienna and an Amber. Either way it was still forgettable.
