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.

09.01.2014, 0,75l bottle @ home:
Slow gusher. Big fizzy shortlasting head. Aroma is fresh fruity, light malts, citrus peel, yeast, hay, hops, weeds, grass, lemon. Taste is slightly dry, light malts, yeast, hay, citrus peel, alcohol, grain, hops, weeds, dried fruits. Medium to longlasting bitterness, very high carbonation. Nice enough.

Bardzo zblizone do belgijskiego stylu, drozdze musuja, kolor jasny i mglisty za sprawa zmetnienia z lekka poswiata pomaranczy. Piana gruba i wilka do tego trwala. Slodowa podstawa mocna, a alkohol prawie nie wyczuwalny. Wspaniale piwo uzupelnialo potrawe ktora spozywalem, Elegandzka etykieta i grawerowana butelka. Korek moze z hukiem nie wystrzelil ale wygladal fajnie dosc malenki byl, jak w piwach De mollen. Ale do tego wypalane logo browaru. Polecam to piwo zamiast szampana

Bottle @ Jesperhus Camping. Pours golden with a huge white head, loads of fine bubbles and leaving nice leacings. Aroma of malt, yeast, light honey, spice, fruity, light alcohol. Flavor is malt, yeast, honey, sweet ripe apples, spice, light boozy. Medium body, lively but gentle carbonation, light warming alcohol. 051013

From a large at Oslo ølfestival. Pours slightly hazy golden with lasting white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, fruits, spices, malt, caramel and hints of alcohol. Sweet and spicy with Belgian flavours and a balanced bitterness. Nice, but not quite a favourite.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a big creamy head. Aroma is sweet with fruity yeast and whiffs of apricot and wood. Full body with average carbonation. Flavour is tart and yeasty, with lots of fruitiness, peaches, orange peel and spices. Tart fruity finish.
