The Brooklyn Brewery is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. We are fortunate to be a part of the incredible cultural renaissance Brooklyn has enjoyed during the last quarter century. Four great Brooklyn artists whom we met along the way—Fred Tomaselli, Roxy Paine, Joe Amhrein and Elizabeth Crawford—have created special labels for our Silver Anniversary Lager beer. We are saluting our beginnings with a special doppelbock version of the Brooklyn Lager we introduced in 1988. This beer is re-fermented in the bottle and will taste great today or years from now. The original was inspired by the beers of 19th Century New York and Vienna.

Bottle: (8.6%) Pours cloudy amber with a small, off-white head. Apple, raisin, toasted bread aroma. Apple-peel, spiced bread, caramel malt flavour. A bit of perfumed/citrus lean to it.... Mild alcohol bitter and warmth. Pretty good.

(Bottle) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with crisp-bread, toffee, honey, dried fruit, grapefruit and a touch of white pepper. Malty, slightly fruity taste with notes of rye bread, treacle-toffee, caramel, honey, grapefruit, orange peel and a balanced spicy, citric bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced bock, with a fresh citric touch. Nice one.

Taste is sweet, slightly bitter, malty and herbal. Mouthfeel is soft, round, tiny boozy and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and slightly bitter with caramel, sweet bread, honey, tea, minerals and lemon peal. Solid but nothing you’ll remember for long... --- Beer merged from original tick of Silver Anniversary Lager on 12 Jul 2015 at 00:36 - Score: 6

Keg pour at NH Brewfest. Appearance is orange-brown without sparkle, decent off-white head with nice lacing. Aroma is sweet bready malts. Taste is moderately sweet maltiness, same as nose. Palate is medium bodied with slightly slippery texture and soft to average carbonation. Overall, this is good but not a heck of a lot of balance to it.
