mgoy (266), Oak Brook, Illinois, USA Jun 3, 2008 Brooklyn Local 1 is a clear yellow beer with a very pronounced white airy head. The aroma is very sweet with notes of alcohol and some strong typical belgium wit characteristics. The flavor properly mimics the aroma with a very nice and spicy finish. This is a fantastic beer.
awiseman01 (15), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Sep 3, 2008 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. Kevster (194), Bradenton, Florida, USA Aug 29, 2008 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! KyotoLefty (113), Kyoto, Japan Aug 29, 2008 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. Jonte (376), Gothenburg, Sweden Aug 29, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma: Sweet and fruity, oranges, tangerines, banana, yeast, pepper, caramel and spices.
Flavor: Sweet fruit, oranges, tangerines, spices, wheat, yeast, alcohol and some bitterness in the finish. maybe a bit too sweet and cloying. Medium to full bodied. Not bad, but a bit too much after a while. I would rather drink Duvel. nqualls (205), Tennessee, USA Aug 26, 2008 750 mL bottle. Poured a hazy yellow color with a huge white head. Lacing was prevelant. Aroma was light citrus notes with a yeast/bread smell of a Belgian. Flavor has banana and cloves with some warming alcohol. Medium bodied with mild carbonation. This was a very enjoyable beer.
