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.

Got something on tap they called ’Brooklyn special pilsner,’ so not sure if it’s the same. The aforementioned, however, is very impressive. A lager with mild but distinct characters of a British extra special bitter. IMHO, the best pilsner I’ve had.

Bright hazy yellow look. Minimal lace. Actually looks more like a Belgian white than anything. Bright and sunny. The smell is spicy, bitter beechwood/noble hops. The malt is of a sharp, bitter nature. Leafy, woodsy aroma. Hint of chlorine in the hops. The taste is flowery bitter hops, floating atop the lagery malt. A bit sharp in both the hop and the malt. Sharp, pilsnery taste (naturally). Actually becomes more like a light (Bud) lager as it warms. Feels creamy at first but finishes clearn. Watery and thin, though bubbly on the swallow. Reveals itself as a lesser brew as it warms. A bitter lager that is decent but disappointing.

A very light beer and one of the better light beers I’ve had. Golden colour but not much head. Hoppy flavor that was very refreshing. A very drinkable pilsner.

Golden yellow in color with a thick white head. Grainy in smell and flavor. Nice balancing bitterness. Could use a little more bitterness though for a pilsner. Not at all bad though.

Cloudy golden pour with surprisingly little aroma for a true pilsner. This is certainly very bitter but otherwise skunky. Maybe I got a bad bottle...it’s a drain pour.

Aroma of lemon and honey. Color is golden with a white head with some delicate lacing. Crisp bright flavor with faint bitterness.

Bottle: pint glass: Pours a light golden/ yellow, high bubble count settling into 1 finger of white head. The aroma is clearly of hops, also some citrus, maybe florals. The taste is immediately dry yet complex... the hops come to the front, nice deep taste though... followed my a sugary yeast, all washed away by the medium to hig hcarbonation. Nice brew, very refreshing.

Overall Impression: Pretty decent pils, crisp, clean, refreshing. Not overly interesting or exciting, but solid none the less.
