The Defender takes to the skies of Brooklyn, clad in a homemade suit of high-tech armor, to protect us from blandness. She is armed only with bold red malts and explosively juicy hops, yet emerges victorious. Wherever beer drinkers need a hero, the Defender will arise. Brooklyn Defender IPA is the year-round official beer of New York ComicCon.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - brewed in Trondheim, Norway - BB 171117, from Alko, 20170913) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, sweetness and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, white bread, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A bit thin but nicely drinkable hoppy pale ale.

Bottle, 6.7%, apparently brewed at E.C. Dahls, Norway. Clear red amber, small offwhite head. Piney aroma. Piney, caramely flavour. Hops get a little stale in the finish. Probably not that fresh anymore.

16 oz. Draft at Yard House, (Fenway) Boston. Amber in color. Aroma of toasted grains, caramel, citrus. Flavor follows with grapefruit, caramel, toasted grain. Some mild herbal bittering hops, inside a medium bodied.
The texture is sticky with some lively carbonation. Overall it reminds me of a hoppy amber ale. Not bad at all.
