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."

On tap at Nashville’s Music City Brew Festival. This stuff was tastey and much better than I was expecting. A great dark amberish lager with some nice hops in there to boot.

Sampled at MCBF. Pours amber with nice retentive off white head. Fruity nose. Light bodied but not watery. This is nicely balanced- hops, malt, sweetness all meld into a refreshing lager with a citrusy nuance. This is what macro loyalists SHOULD be drinking.

Now this is what a real lager should look and taste like. Pours an orange color with an off-white head that sticks around. Perfect malt/hop balance that has a clean semi-dry finish.

Bottle. Amber to slightly darker. A thick dense off-white head with an almost greenish tinge. A massive whack of citrus-y hop aroma. Some malt up front with a hoppy, very bitter finish which almost tastes a little burnt. A good beer but perhaps not one I could have too many of in a session.

Hoppy nice aroma with a hint of orange. It also has a nice hoppy flavor. Quite dry with a medium bitterness.

Bottle, I can’t believe I haven’t rated this yet! A gem of a beer, this simple lager pours amber-brown with a medium sized head. The palate is exceptionally crisp, fairly light, with a semi-short finish. Aroma is delicately floral, earthy, and with some caramel and toffee notes. Flavor has a nice earthy quality, with substantial floral and herbal hop varieties. It levels on a really pleasant bitter-sweet note, full of just the right amount of flavor, before settling into a soft finish. Excellent.

As far as lagers go, this one is absolutely the best I’ve had. Just a clean, crisp beverage; you can’t really go wrong with one. Trust me, pick up a 6er or head down to the brewery on Friday night.
