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."

Draft at Hungry Brain in Chicago. I just thought this could be good, but all I could smell were cheetos and all I could taste was sour cream and onion Ruffles. Not good. It looks okay, though, pouring a nice gold color with almost no head. But I just couldnt get past the cheese. Bad.

330ml bottle from the LCBO The aroma is malty and sweet Pours a nice orangy cooper with a big white long lasting head and lots of lacing The taste is more like an IPA than a lager very clean crisp and refreshing One of the best lagers I have had will be getting more

Bottle from The Ducie, Manchester. Reddish-brown in colour with slightly off-white head. Citrus hop aroma with biscuit malts. Very floral taste with spicy characteristics and a bitter finish. Perhaps a bit too lively carbonation. In looks and character this is a close cousin to a flavoursome English bitter. Reading other reviews it would seem this is a different colour the world over. Odd, eh?

Draft in Florida. Toasted lemon-honey malts. yum. Touch watery but with good weight. Very tasty but not very large or unusual.

Clear medium yellow body that is slightly fizzy. Light, pleasurable taste with a slight hop finish. Very drinkable, but not very intense. This is a great drinking beer, but has very little to offer in terms of breadth of palate or intensity of flavor.

Reviewed 11/30/2008 (Tap @ Flying Saurcer, Houston, TX): Pours an amber brownish body with a small creamy white head. Has a sweet aroma, fruit. Some hops in the nose. Grapefruity taste, sweet strawberry aftertaste. Malty. Watery palate. Has a soft mouthfeel. Hoppy taste. But too malty for my taste.

Sampled at Big Pour Mesa, AZ. 14 karat color with a touch of orange at its core. Very tiny eggshell head that left minimal lacing. Fairly sweet aroma although there is definitely a hop presence...can smell freshly cut fairways. Flavor is also hop forward for the style. Refreshing and enjoyable.
