Brooklyn Lager, the Brewery's flagship label, is New York's "hometown" beer, brewed to a pre-Prohibition recipe that dates back to the days when Brooklyn was the brewing capital of the East Coast. Wrote Michael Jackson in the Simon & Schuster Pocket Guide to Beer: "The dry-hopped, fresh, flowery, firm, flavourful, Brooklyn Lager started well, in 1988, and has gained in character since."

330ml bottle. Clear, amber colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Sweet-ish, minimally toasty, malty and slightly piney, hoppy aroma. Taste is sweet-ish and minimally toasty, caramel malty, slightly bitter, piney hoppy. Watery texture, dry palate, medium to fine, prickly carbonation. Clean, balanced, homogeneous, rather monotonous - OK.

Tap at Drunk Uncle. Really smooth, solid beer. Tastes better to me now than it did 20 years ago. Really clean, well brewed. Easy drinking for the style, Toasty malts, straight forward hop balance. Great beer.

Clear pale amber with a big, frothy white head and a subtle (muted) aroma of malt and hops. Moderately carbonated, with a slight grainy feel to it, a sweetish malt flavour kick things off before some hop bitterness comes in leading to a dry and slightly bitter finish

Aromatiquement, cette Brooklyn Lager n'est pas inintéressante. Avec des arômes de tabac qui viennent intelligemment se mêler à du caramel, des écorces d'orange, une pointe de pêche et de très légères herbes, l'ensemble est plaisant. Le manque de complexité, un alcool à 5,2 % poussif et un final atone sont cependant de trop grandes limites pour avoir d'autres prétentions. Le visuel sur un ambré limpide recouvert d'une fine mousse blanche est sympathique. Au nez nous sommes sur une alliance de caramel et d'écorce d'orange avec un soupçon d'herbes qui est bien réhaussée par une élégante amertume. Le tabac arrive à la dégustation, d'abord en rétro lors de l'attaque pour être plus dominante en seconde bouche. Cet ajour donne le petit tempérament qui aurait très nettement manqué sinon. L'amertume donne de surcroît une fraîcheur appréciable. L'arrière, davantage sur le caramel est moins emballant, et ce, sur une corpulence très moyenne. Mais c'est le final, discret qui nous laisse en pâture, avec une impression d'inachevée. Cela manque de vivacité, mais le goût rattrape en partie l'ensemble.
