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."

bottle - Pours clear light amber with a thin, white head that sticks around and laces well. There’s a sweet malt aroma with a hint of fruit esters. The taste has a good hops balance to go with the pale malt. There’s a refreshingly bitter finish. Brooklyn Lager is a very solid session brew.

Poured a nice copper color. Modest off-white head that dissipated completely. Decent lacing. Aroma is a nice, modestly hopped caramel malt. Refreshing. Flavor is malty, nicely balanced between sweet and bitter. A slight hint of butter and a slightly astringent aftertaste. This lingering astringency which is so often present in Ambers and Brown ales is why I don’t enjoy these beers more.

Bottle poured into shaker. Dark amber colour with a medium white head. Aroma had a nice hint of hop. Flavour starts with more hop but finishes well balanced with malt. Nice lager.

Pours dark amber color with thick white head and lots of lacing. Nice citrus aroma with sweet malt in the background. Taste is clean with a nice citrus hop bite at the start, a well-balanced malt backbone, and then lingering hop bitterness. A very well done beer that’s easy to drink, very refreshing. A lager with a bit of an APA personality.
