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."

Pours amber with a white foamy head, longlasting. Taste is malty with notes of caramel and bread. Flavor approaches an American pale ale more than a traditional lager. Try this with pizza rather than standard lagers and the flavors will compliment one another. Has a similar feel to Sam Adams Boston Lager, though I would rate this slightly higher. Great stuff, drinkable, sessionable.

Great session lager. Excellent balance, good hop flavors, very ale-like. Not surprising any more, but still a well made beer.

Bottled. Clear coppery beer. Quite small but creamy head and nice lace. The aroma is very clean, hoppyish and dryish malty. Lemon, some grape fruit and slightly caramelly maltiness. The flavor is dryish and only slightly caramelly. Crips and clean bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied and refreshingly carbonated palete. Simple but great.

Overall Impression: Definitely a solid example of the Lager style. A nice amount of floral hops give this one some taste and distinction, a pretty nice beer.

Bottle. Pours deep amber with fluffy off-white head, quickly dissipates leaving some lacing. Aroma is heavenly, lightly herbal, spices,with a wholesome breadiness in the background. Flavor is mild caramel, bitter, floral and loads of hop resin lingering long into the finish. Beautiful.
