Commercial Description:
Brooklyn Pilsner is a refreshing golden lager beer, brewed in the style favored by New York’s pre-Prohibition brewers. In the 1840’s, the pilsner style emerged from central Europe to become the world’s most popular style of beer. Like its ancesters, Brooklyn Pilsner is traditionally brewed from the finest European two-row barley malts. German-grown Perle and Hallertauer hops provide a crisp, snappy bitterness and fresh, floral aroma. We ferment Brooklyn Pilsner at cool temperatures and then give it a long, gentle maturation (lagering), which results in a beer of superior complexity and smoothness.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma is lightly sweet malt, caramel and hay. Medium body. flavor is light malt with a solid hop presence. Well balanced and easy to drink.

A bit mild on the bittering hops for my taste. Definitely brilliant on a sunny day with its shiny orange label.

Draft. Not much of a pilsner drinker, but I did enjoy this one. Poured a light golden amber, with a thin white head.A somewhat malty nose with german style hops. Nice smooth and dry finish. Very good beer, and very refreshing.

From Løvbjerg, Aarhus Bottled Has the traditional malt and bitterhops profile and the american dryhops. A great combo but somehow it is not fully balanced here

This is the best American Pilsner I’ve ever had, bar none. I used to reserve Trumer for that designation, but Brooklyn has usurped the throne. Hoppy, refreshing, with a smooth finish all the way down. Perfect on a cool spring evening with a homemade veggie pizza!

12oz bottle: Deep golden pour with a inch thick frothy head that does a good job of sticking around. The creamy, malt driven nose is inviting. Lots of honey and toffee upfront with lesser notes of sourdough and noble hops in the back. The hops come out in the body, nice and bitter, balancing the maltiness. Grassy, piney hops offer the resin needed to balance the luscious malts. Very clean and defined without, this is a fine example of what a great pilsner can be.

Draught at the Magician, New York, New York. The aroma of toffee,grass and citrus was very promising for this beer, but the flavour didn’t live up to it. It fell flat with a mostly bitter taste and it was a bit too thin as well.

Lately I’ve been looking for beers that would be great for the summer and something to store in my golf bag :-) This fits the bill. Golden colored, pours some head and lace but not a lot. Sweet lemon malt aroma, not overpowering but there’s enough there. Very well balanced and smooth. Crisp mild hop bite with a floral flavor and even some hints on honey. Lately my success rate hasn’t been all that great with new beers so it was very nice to get something I really did enjoy.
