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."

Very nice blend of malt and hops. Not too sweet, bland or overcarbonated like alot of lagers. I can drink this often. Excellent lager.

Tap at Draught House
Pours a weak, uninspired amber with a leafy strawberry mixed in water odor. Flavor is autumn leaf and malty sweet nut. Average mouthfeel. More like a Bronx Cheer than a Brooklyn beer.

Bottle @ Michelle and Rob’s wedding: This beer pours a golden amber color with a nice head. The aroma was a little maltier and hoppier than most lagers. The flavor was smooth and well balanced. Hints of hops, caramel malts, and not very complex. An excellent beer, one I may have thought otherwise before trying.

Pours a dark golden amber and looks like a bock. Excellent carbonation. Pours with a lot of head but wettles down to 1/4 inch in a short while. Aroma is malty, pure and clean. Clavor is malty with a littlw spice, some mild sweetness and a good hop presence. This beer is damn good for a lager. The finish is full. Body is medium. Light lacing. Notes of clean crystal malt and slight bitterness on the finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear orange golden color with a medium frothy white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is wheat, caramel and bread. Good sticky lacing on the glass. The taste is first a light hop with a crisp malt finish. A great session beer, glad it finally made it down to texas.

Pours a medium amber with a small, short-lasting head that dissipates to a nice lacing. Aroma is balanced between yeast, malts and hops, but is very mild overall. Taste is fairly hoppy for the style with some hints of the malt character behind it. Mouthfeel is still on the watery side, but it doesn’t detract from the overall experience. Another excellent, drinkable offering from the Brooklyn Brewery.
