Aug 3, 2009 A color of clear and light orange. Really excellent color for a lager. Head goes away almost immediately, but leaves some nice icy lace. It’s how lagers should always look! The aroma gives a nice grassy hop over some decent pale-ish barley. Aromas are mild but refreshing. A spring-y aroma. The taste gives more grassy hop flavor, which is such a welcome element. There is mild chlorine from the grassy hop but it’s not intrusive or unpleasant. The feel is a fizzy, bubbly mouthfeel. Lager-dry, but good. This is one terrific, hoppy lager with good body and lots of character. Grassy and malty both.

Aug 2, 2009 So I finally tried Brooklyn Brewery’s flagship beer, the lager. But I did it in style: on tap, in Williamsburg at the Brooklyn Bowl. This was a great beer. Rich amber pour, considerable pure white head. Scents of malts and citrus. Regarding the taste, I actually got notes of mango. I don’t know. The beer had just enough complexity to keep me interested. The flavor was crisp and firm and overall the experience was stellar.

Aug 1, 2009 This is the only Brooklyn beer ive seen in my neck of the woods. And this is also the best lager I think i’ve tried. Beautiful amber colour, nice big head. Very malty nose, fresh sharp hops, citrus. Went down very easily, balanced quite well. Sharp and bright. Please send more of your beers to London!

Jul 31, 2009 Are those Cluster Hops? I’ve long wanted to brew a pre-prohibition lager. When I saw this was a commercial example, and only $5.99 for a sixer at King Richard’s in Michigan City, I got it. Actually sort of tastes like Sam Adams Boston Lager, with a different hop profile. So, I guess Sam Adams is a Pre-Prohibition lager, too. Vienna lager? Eh, maybe.

Jul 30, 2009 I had no idea pre-porhibition beer tasted like this. Poured light amber with a cotton-like yellowish head. It tasted much more like an IPA than a lager.

Jul 29, 2009 Pours a nice clear amber. A touch of malt. Medium carbonation. Refreshing taste. Not earth shattering but a refreshing good beer.
