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.

Thanks JoeMcPhee. Very pale straw gold, abundant off-white head that leaves a rich lacing down the glass. Aroma has abundant noble hop character complemented by a slight yeastiness. First impression on the tongue is a dry, very bready malt backbone well accompanied by grassy hops flavor. Slightly sweet, very doughy. In the finish and linger the dry character subsides and more sweet dough emerges. Medium bodied, smooth, sudsy palate.

Bottle. Nice copper body with a good white head that holds well and laces decently. Nice malt and hops character on the aroma. Very fresh and flavorful brew. Perfectly balanced flavor. Lite and smooth with the perfect amount of carbonation. Overall: we should all drink more of this beer!

Normally I don’t drink Pilsner but I decided to try one from Brooklyn the brewery I like. 12 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy golden-amber color with a nice lacy head. Aroma of floral hops with hints of citrus and malts. Flavor is mild (for Pilsner) hops upfront balanced by some maltiness. Finish is short, dry with grapefruit notes. OK beer, but expected more from Brooklyn.

Bottle: Standard yellow beer. Hops aroma, standard and relatively weakly flavored beer. Main flavor is malt followed by the bitterness. I don’t get any complexity. Standard middle of the road beer.

Bottle, Mondiale 09. Yellow, small white head. Slightly sweet aroma with faint hops. Decent taste - actually somewhat malty, with some pils like hops. Straightforward, fine.
