Who is this masked hero? The Defender emerged in an era when gloomy walls and bland beer held our city in a stranglehold. Slowly, murals began to brighten the landscape and flavorful beer flooded the taps. Today the city is alive with fiery art and delicious beer. The Defender maintains constant vigilance to battle back the blandness lurking around the edges. Ours is a world of light, fury, and song. This is it’s Defender!
Brooklyn Defender IPA was forged in collaboration with our sidekicks at New York Comic Con as the official beer of the convention.
Malts: Pilsner, Crisp, Carared, Crystal

Bottled poured Reddish brown. Mostly malty with some citrus. Pretty nice to have the malts be the focus of an ipa

Draught @ OlutExpo 2016. Pours dark orange with a tiny head. Aroma of grass, herbal notes, pine and caramely malts. Taste is caramely, sweetish and herbal with some pine and resin. Finish is sweet and caramely with some pine and resin. Decent, but doesn’t feel very fresh.

(Keg at OlutExpo 2016) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, grapefruit, tangerine and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grapefruit, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A good hoppy strong pale ale.
