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.

Bottle (750ml) shared at ’Biegaman’s Second Annual Saison Tasting’ -- courtesy of biegaman. Pours a clear gold with an average size semi-lasting foamy white head. Aroma of grain and fruit, a bit grassy and with a hint of sourness -- just O.K., I’m not crazy about it. Slightly boozy flavour with grain, a bit of sweet fruit, light grassy hops and an average bitter finish. Medium bodied. Decent but not really to my liking.

Bottle. Pours a golden body with a fluffy white head. Aroma is spicy yeast, farmhouse saison funk. Flavor starts with a strong malt backbone then gives way to the subtlies of the yeast and spiciness. A score for something so readily available.

Light golden color, with a full head of lasting foam. Authentic Belgian smells, with some light fruits, yeast, farmhouse. Flavor has nice balance, with a delicate sweetness and finish. An ale of high quality.

Aroma of bread dough with some spice and a hint of lemon. Sun kissed yellow body with a white head. Spotty lace. Flavors include bread dough, pepper, lemon peel and spices - maybe a bit of all spice, paradise seed. Drank while bottling my saison =)

750ml. I had no idea this was supposed to be somewhat of a Belgian...I mainly tasted a lot of overpowering sweet malts, blending with somewhat of a bananay yeast, with a very mild hop note in the middle. Alcohol is hidden well. Not very carbonated, this one goes down waaaay smooth. Not my favorite.

750ml bottle. Poured a medium yellow color with a larger sized whtie head. Aromas of yeast, banana fruitiness, and spices. Tastes of bananas, spices, and some citrus. Body on the carbonated side.

Refermented in bottle. Capital Ale House pairing with Garrett Oliver 05/15/08. Light straw, cloudy with huge rocky persistent head. Sweet malt background with some spicey phenolics of clove and pepper. Medium fizzy mouthfeel with some hop bitterness and alchohol warming in the finish.
