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."

Dam just noticed this brew expired a four months ago hope it still be good to drink. Body appears to be brown combined with burnt orange, a quarter inch cap was produced with excellent retention for a lager, very nice looking brew. Aroma is good but for a lager it’s not exactly fitting the profile but yummy smelling none the less. Lots of milder floral hops, tons of malt, and the typical grainy qualities found in lagers can be found in the delouses aroma. Very nice flavor the malts have a much darker taste and this a touch more bitter then what I was expecting, the hops are very noticeable and come across very flowery. The more I drink the more I can taste the malts and they seem to have a lemony taste in them. For a lager this dam good maybe a touch to much hops for the style but it works, the only real complaint I have about this brew is it is slightly watery but I shall let that slide because this is dam good.

This one caught me by surprise. At a local bar I ordered it b/c I was in the mood for a lager and I had never had this one before. Expecting something light with mild flavoring this was more like a Sierra Neveda Beer beer than a light lager, and I say that as a compliment. It is definitely dry-hopped with an aroma you smell way before your nose gets to the glass. For a lager it has a medium body and a clean crisp finish more like a pale ale. Definitely a beer I will be drinking again.

Pours a lacing off-white head with and almost amber body. Smells of citrus and spice hops along with some malt. Flavor is a bit caramelized malt and some citrus hops. Finish has a nice bitterness to it.

Amber pour, big head and lace. Bold and hoppy for a lager, with good carb and a sweetness pervading. Fair.

Bottle at Two Boots in Grand Central Station. The aroma is dry hops. The flavor is slightly bitter. The body was medium with a think texture and lively carbonation. The finish is mildly bitter.

(12oz. bottle) Pours a golden body with a small off-white head. Aroma of orange pulp, toasted grain, dustiness, and some florals. Flavor of hops (grass, floral, earth) and toasted malt with a moderately bitter finish.
