Commercial Description:
In Williamsburg, Brooklyn, we forge barley malt and hops from Germany, aromatic raw sugar from Mauritius and yeast from Belgium into our latest beer, Brooklyn Local 1. Behind the full golden color you'll find an alluring aroma, a dynamic complex of flavors. Belgian flair, Brooklyn fortitude and a dusting of our special yeast. To create this beer, we use the old technique of 100% bottle re-fermentation, a practice now rare even in Europe. It gives this beer a palate of unusual depth. Enjoy it locally or globally, as an aperitif or with your favorite dishes. It is particularly nice with spicy seafood and with fine cheeses.

Pours light golden with a mostly receding wispy white head. Aroma of herbal hops, Saaz and chamomile. Taste of coriander, herbal hops, nicely saison-esque. Mouthfeel is full bodied with light resins, light alcohol and lush carbonation. I will be buying this 1 again.

Pours a cloudy straw/orange with a robust head and good lacing. Nose- spice (coriander, pepper) and honey. Taste- sweet malts and fruits initially, spritzy carbonation on the tongue, then quickly dries out to a peppery and earthy dry finish. Leaves a metallic yeast aftertaste and booze heat.

Bottle courtesy of GMCC2181. Poured golden orange in color with a nice white foamy head. Aroma was fruity, citrusy, along with wheat. Taste is dry in the beginning with fruit and mild honey taste, along with a smooth finish with a little bit of yeast. A nice brew.

Bottle. Pours bright yellow/orange with medium head, good lacing. Smells of Belgian style, yeast, wheat, citrus. Taste is juicy orange, belgian wheat, slightly sweet, with some honey; medium carbonation is a great touch. The flavor is very full attributed to the bottle re-fermentation. Great lingering finish of belgian style. Some noticable hops that taste great as well. I heard this won’t be around much longer....sad if it’s true.

Bottle: Pours a cloudy golden color with a thin off-white head. Malty aroma is spicy and citrusy with hints of pepper, bananas, and honey. Flavor is sweet and tarty that is creamy yet a dry mouthfeel on the palate. Well balanced and enjoyable!

750 ml bottle, 8 months in storage. Medium golden with a bit of honey orange. Low, lacy head. Spicy, citrus aroma of honey, lemon, Belgian yeasts, golden malts. Spicy, citrus, honey-like flavor, spritzy, lots of honey and lemon, medium sweetness, nice hopping. More hops than a regular saison, a bit more simple in the malts, and a bit too much alcohol taste, but very nice. Excellent, nice all around, though a step down from a Dupont. Should age well for a couple years.
