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.

12 ounce bottle- GACK! The nicest thing I can say about this crap is that it made a cheerful sound swirling down the drain. I am fairly sure that it is not exactly poisonous, but DAMN! Don’t just skip it, try not to get any on you.

Appearance: Pours a, effervescent, lightly hazy, yellow-orange body with a small, white head. Smell: Pale malt aroma with full floral notes and a nice spiciness present. Malts become more prominent as the beer warms, but a tiny hint of diacetyl seems to show up, too. Taste: Pale malts with a crackery flavor. Floral hops with a spicy bitterness that lingers beyond the finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Drinkability: A solid, refreshing pilsner that I wouldn’t mind having on-hand during the warmer months.

On tap at Acme. Beer pours golden with a pretty nice white head. Nose is grassy hops with a bit of butter. Flavor is mildly grassy as well, but the diacetyl (buttery) presence is a bit overwhelming at times and definitely detracts from my enjoyment.

Gold, light yellow head w. nice lacing. Nose is plenty of noble hop goodness, somewhat spicy. Malt is haylike but borders on caramel. A bit of honey if I inhale long enough. Flavor is caramel/hay malt, tingly noble hops - lightly spicy and minty. A bit of lemon makes it’s presence known in the finish.

This pilsner has a nice head around the top. The beer is a nice gold color, with a slight hint of orange. Beer looks pretty goood. I didn’t was out my glass from the last beer, but I don’t think it had that much of an affect. This pils is very thin, but has a nice hop taste. Slight hop aroma, but nothing special. I am not impressed with the aroma, it is too weak. The aroma has the presence of hops, but for a pils this is key. The beer tastes decent. A nice hop taste. The hops are everywhere in this beer. The malts are lacking. Overall, this beer looks good, and has a nice hop taste. Nothing special, but good.

Poured from the bottle a slightly cloudy golden color. Poofy head, great coating on the glass. Taste is smooth and crisp... finish is clean with a nice and balanced hop bitterness. Not overwhelming but pleasant. Bitterness is enhanced with food. A nice drinkable beer.

Gold color quickly dissapating head. Aroma has floral and fruity hops with grain and sweet malt. Grain and malt more prominent upon taste. Ear wax at the finish. Thin.
