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.

Dec 26, 2009 Pale blond color with a white head that leaves lacing on the glass. Bold malt aroma - grainy, nice floral hops. Sweet malty with a citrus and bitterness in the end. Refreshing and pleasant.

Dec 21, 2009 Thanks Joe McPhee for this beer. From a 12 oz bottle this poured an attractive clear light golden color with a fluff long lasting head and good lacing. The nose is very much citrus with a variety of aromas including orange, grapefruit, and lemon. Very smooth body. Clean mouthfeel. The flavor is dominated by the citrus hops which leads to some light bitterness but the malts are there too. This is very much like a great German Pilsner, Great example of the style and imminently drinkable.

Dec 19, 2009 Nice deep golden color. Fluffy head. Very citrusy aroma, like orange and lemon combined. NIce smooth body, with first the citrus hop flavor, then some light - albeit maybe a bit too weak - malt flavor combining.
If I had to compare this to other beers, I’d say it’s very much like those pilsners of northern German; Hamburg to be specific.
A very good beer, and a nice choice for those who may find Brooklyn Lager a bit too heavy for their palates.
