In Williamsburg, Brooklyn, we forge barley malt and hops from Germany, aromatic raw sugar from Mauritius and yeast from Belgium into our latest beer, Brooklyn Local 1. Behind the full golden color you'll find an alluring aroma, a dynamic complex of flavors. Belgian flair, Brooklyn fortitude and a dusting of our special yeast. To create this beer, we use the old technique of 100% bottle re-fermentation, a practice now rare even in Europe. It gives this beer a palate of unusual depth. Enjoy it locally or globally, as an aperitif or with your favorite dishes. It is particularly nice with spicy seafood and with fine cheeses.

Aus der Flasche 2015-08 getrunken. Leckeres helles Bier im Bierstil zwischen Saison und Abbey Triple. Schöner Durstlöscher!

Si cette Brooklyn est globalemnt bien construite, elle ne m'a pas procuré de réelles émotions. Un manque d'originalité et une petite lourdeur en bouche lui font entre autre défaut. Avec du Perle, de l'Aurora et du Styrian Goldins, je m'attendais à aurte chose. Les arômes dominants sont en premier le miel, l'alcool et les épices, avec des notes fruités d'orange, de citron et de pomme. En verre cependant, très belle prestation avec un blonf orangé (EBC aux alentours de 24), très légèrement troublé et avec une très belle mousse blanc cassée de 3 cm, crémeuse et de bonne tenue. Le nez n'est pas des plus développé et se positionne sur le miel, le citron, l'orange et la coriandre. L'attaque est sur un bon équilibre malt/houblon avec une fraîche amertume. Les épices sont bien présentes avec le miel, du citron, de l'orange et un alcool sous jacent conférant du caractère. La deuxième est dans la lignée avec un alcool et des épices qui montent en puissance. L'arrière bouche est linéaire, n'offrant pas de relief malheureusement et sur un ampleur tout juste acceptable. La troisième voir perdre de l'amertume au profit de l'alccol et du miel qui sera notre duo final, sur une bonne longueur. Ce n'est certainement pas la numéro 1 du style.

750 ml corked and caged bottle. Pours a cloudy honey gold color. Dense, rocky beige head. Rich, honeyish, sweet fruit malt nose. Yeasty, bready, apricot notes. Zesty sweet fruit flavors. Nuances of wheat, clove, peach, apricot, sweet citrus and lemon zest. Delicious and true to its Belgian influences.

Bottle. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is peach, apricots, some fresh yeasts, some barrel sugars (?) Taste is peach, apricots, yeasty funk, some tartness, some booze. Silky mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Solid!

From Mar 2008

I got bottles in trade with nutbrown & yobdoog. Thanks Alan & Trevor!

This pours from 750ml caged and corked bottle a slightly hazy gold with a 1 finger head of foam and some good lacing.

The smell is all spicy and fruity with some clove, pepper, yeast, and a touch of banana. Nice.

The taste is very smooth drinking for the alcohol but it's packed with flavour. First thing I notice is the spice from clove and pepper followed by a nice yeasty presence and some banana(very light) and a bit of candy sugar.
I like the finish here as it has a slight citric kick to it making for a very pleasing aftertaste and some nice balance. I really can't say that the abv is obvious at all and that makes for some great drinkability.

It has a light mouthfeel to it and the carbonation is medium. I like sipping on this BSPA and I'm very glad I have another bottle. Well worth the effort to get some so please, do so. ;^)
