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."

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.

On tap at Big Pour Mesa. Pours a light amber with a small beige head. Nose is grassy hops and malt. Taste is sweet malts mainly with some decent hops in the finish. Lighter mouth feel. Decent – hoppy for a lager.

Bottle from Systembolaget Amber and slightly hazy leaves some lacing. A anekdot from last week when I had it in a night club: My colleagues comments were that the beer that I´d orderd smelled, and tasted like perfume, my explenation that it is american citrusy hopps was´nt bought... However, this is a good beer that leaves a veile even when served in the bottle.

Pours a dark gold/light brown colour. Malty and hoppy flavour aroma with hints of some caramel and nuts. Medium almost full-bodied beer. Excellent

Wonderful light brown color. Aroma is of smoked malt and German hops. Light mouth-feel with some of the light graininess that you’d expect from a Vienna lager. Finish is crisp but mellow. Excellent. One of my favorite versions of this style. Once again impressed by Brooklyn.

Tasting at Brewtopia. I will say that for a Lager style beer this is pretty decent. Amber pour. Whitish head. Aroma is malty and hoppy both. I get some sweet floral hops, some caramel and toffee malt. Flavor lends itself to a good balance between hops and malt without having that normal nasty lager flavor that so many beer get stuck with. Pretty refreshing and tasty.
