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.

Clear golden-yellow body with a standard sudsy white head. Lightly buttery malt and yeast qualities with mild spicy aromatics. Weak, semi-dry doughy malt flavor with light diacetyl, a peppery note, and moderate bitterness. Not enough depth of malt. Brooklyn should aim higher with this.

Good color for a pils. Golden. Smells a tiny bit skunky, but most pilsners do to me. Very smooth taste with a clean piney bitterness at the end.

Golden body with minimal head. Aroma is citrusy and floral. A tad flat with a slight bitterness to the finish.

Bottle - nice, sweet and spicy aroma. Fairly standard pilsner appearance. Flavor is grainy sweetness with a slight bitterness in the finish. A fairly good example, but far from my favorite style.

Bottle. Sweet corn syrup malt aroma - smells like the wort before fermentation. Golden yellow with moderate head and lacing. Sweet-sour barley malt flavor with moderate hops finish. Okay but I’m not a big fan of the grainy sweetness.
