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.

golden with a small white head. aroma is very strange. not a big fan of it. as eaglefan put it is very very grainy. kinda smells like sticking your head into a bucket of horse feed. flavor is a bit better. still a bit grainy but it also has some slightly toasted malt and hops going on. light to medium body with good carbonation. finish long bitter and hoppy with a hint of that damn grain again. not so sure about this one.i liked the hops but i just cant get past the raw grain aroma and flavor.

Re-rate, 4/07, didn’t get much american hop impression like my first one, seemed pretty noble, mainly bittering hops, although some fruity esters do come through, not heavy on honey or grass flavors like many a saaz-ed up pilsner, a little on the watery side, though.Original rating: Nice carbonation and head. The aroma was grainy, lots of finishing hop aromas, a bit of some atypical varieties, US? Flavor was grainy, some biscuits, light pine and citrus hops flavors and a definite bittering hop presence. Mouthfeel was moderate and carbonated. I kinda liked this one, despite being a bit different take on the style.

Bottle. Clear to slightly hazy golden color with quickly diminishing white head. Aroma of light malt, lemony hops and honeysuckle with a trace of sweaty yeast. Flavor basically grassy malt and light hops. A bit of hop bitterness on the finish. Decent, but no reason for excitement.

Pours a lightly hazy golden yellow with a lacing white head. Aroma of sweet pilsner malts, grass, lemon and some various fruits and hops presense. Flavor of honey, more sweet malts, basically what you would expect from a Pilsner. Not one of the best, but surely not a bad Pilsner either.

Pale translucent gold/yella, with faint white head. Aroma like pretzel dough, only sweeter. Pleasant, fresh, natural aroma. Very fine flavor. Good bready, honeyed, lightly fruity maltiness, in a nice balance with hops. Brooklyn’s lighter beers seem to be the best of the widely available lighter beers in my area - very very nice. underrated. By style this is a very nice pilsener for something commercially available and would make a great session beer that all your friends, beer snobs or not, could easily enjoy and appreciate as a notch above their usual stuff.

Tried it at the brewery: Floral aroma with a sharp malt flavor and a floral hop bitterness. Vegetable like character with a long and lingering bitterness on the palate.

Bottle. Gold color. Malty and hoppy aromas. Citrus flavors, and an above average pilsner.
